NPI’s Xstream Compact Sliding Shoe Sorter is recognized for being a highly efficient and compact automated sorting solution that uses as little as 2,500 square feet of floor space.

Parcels are then dimensioned, weighed, and scanned in at a high rate of speed through the DWS tunnel. They’re then conveyed on to the shoe sorter conveyor consisting of shoes and slats. Once the parcel reaches it’s designated output, it is diverted by NPI’s sliding shoes into its output that was pre-determined using NPI’s industry leading software.
