- 3. chooSINg a looPoR lINe SoRteR loop sorters loop sorters consist of an endless loop of segmented carriers. after induction onto the sorter, products circulate until they are sorted at the right destination. If this is full or otherwise not available, the products will continue to circulate. Recirculation is therefore achieved constantly and automatically. To increase capacity and maximise usage of the available carriers, additional induction positions can be placed at various locations around the loop. Loop sorters require more floor space than line sorters, but allow higher capacities to be achieved. line sorters line sorters have a straightforward linear layout: products are placed on the sorter at the beginning of the line. If not sorted they will arrive at the end of the line, where they will leave the system. alternatively they can automatically be returned to the beginning of the sorter to pass through the sorting process again, turning the line sorter into a loop configuration. Line sorters have a relatively small footprint and require a low investment.
