简体中文 Hey, old iron! Is it often look at the warehouse piles of parcels, sorters run through the legs and always stuck in the turning position? 🤔 Obviously on the automated equipment, why the efficiency is still not up? --The pitfall of the 90% may be hidden in the turner selection!Today we will nag through the 3 tricks selection tips, special treatment sorting "intestinal obstruction"!
🔧 Tip #1: Get in the right place! 4 types of turners who is your "real man"?
Splash cold water first.There is no universal turner!If you choose the wrong type, the sorting line immediately becomes a "speed bump"! According to the search results, there are only 4 types of core:
| Turning machine type | Best for scenarios | delayed action warning (e.g. on a security risk)⚠️ |
|---|---|---|
| cylindrical | Regular box/light cargo (<50kg) | Bagged soft bags are prone to snagging rolled seams! |
| belt | Courier bag/flat piece | Heavy loads directly overpower the belt |
| chain-link | Large and heavy cargo (tonne carriers) | Small pieces tend to fall out of the seam |
| lifting type | Multi-storey warehouses change floor articulation | Expensive! Don't be hard on yourself if you don't just need it |
👉give me a chestnut: A food factory was using a drum machine to transport flour sacks, with the result that the sacks were always stuck into the seams of the drum, and the machine was down for 3 hours a day to clear the goods! After switching to a belt machine -Sorting speed is directly doubledIron, selection is like a blind date! Old iron, selection is like a blind date, suitable than "high" is 10,000 times more important ah!
📐 Tip #2: Crack the "darting" metaphysics! This is how you calculate the radius of a turn!
Don't laugh! Some people really draw a radius on the construction, and the result is that the parcel "throws darts" every day! I'll tell you an industry secret.Turning radius = material length x 1.5.
For example, if you often transport 60cm long boxes, choose an inner radius of at least90cm(60 x 1.5). You were lazy and chose a smaller size? You're on your own!
- ❌ Box corners hit guardrails → breakage rate soars
- ❌ centre of gravity shift → parcel stacking
- ❌ Sharp braking and turning → premature motor failure
⚡Black Tech Tips: Intelligent turning machines can now be dynamically adjusted! Like a logistics warehouse in Tianjin withTapered roller + visual sensingThe different sizes of parcels automatically match the speed, and the breakage rate is reduced by 80%! You taste, you fine!
🚀 Tip #3: Don't be an "antique collector"! Smart upgrades pull the wool over efficiency
Still think a turner is just a steel frame?It's 2025 feed!Search the results, a new generation of godly operations has landed:
- RFID chip tracking: Once the parcel is on the belt, the system automatically recognises the relatives (no more fear of stringing together!)
- Traffic jam warning systemSensing congestion, it automatically reduces speed to prevent "car accidents".
- Self-Hi Power Saving Mode: Standby power consumption ≈ bulb 💡 when out of stock
💥Real Blitz Case: Retrofitting of old turning machines in a Guangdong warehouseInfrared sensor + remote monitoringThe retrofit cost less than $20,000, but the sorters ran 5km/day less!Employees moved to work overtime voluntarily? (Scratch that.) It's efficient enough to leave work early!
💎 Exclusive Insight: The "Life and Death Code" of Turning Machines in 2025
Having been in this business for more than ten years, I can see through one thing.The future is not about hardware, it's about data!For example:
- Is your turner connected to a WMS? How can you optimise when you can't even count real-time traffic?
- Can a breakdown be warned 3 days in advance? Don't wait until you're on the ground to fix it!
- Modular design is the way to go! Expand capacity like building Lego, save 60% cost than changing the whole line!
📣 On a solid note.The 90% warehouse turner didn't even squeeze the potential out of the 30%!Changing algorithms is faster than changing equipment - the database in your warehouse is the biggest gold mine!
Finally dumping a king bomb viewpoint.Choosing a turning machine is not buying equipment, it is buying "logistics acceleration"!Eat through these 3 strokes, the next time the supplier again fooled "imported high-power", you directly dislike: how much power? What is the radius? Can you connect the system? --Being professional is the ultimate money-saving mystery!💪
