What are the applications of diamond chutes in the logistics industry
Diamond chutes (diamond patterned gravity chutes, including matrix and spiral diamond chutes) rely on a unique diamond folding structure and non powered gravity conveying. They increase controllable friction by the diamond surface, buffer the falling speed of packages, reduce impact, rolling, and damage, and are widely used in automated distribution, e-commerce warehousing, express delivery, cold
Diamond chutes (diamond patterned gravity chutes, including matrix and spiral diamond chutes) rely on a unique diamond folding structure and non powered gravity conveying. They increase controllable friction by the diamond surface, buffer the falling speed of packages, reduce impact, rolling, and damage, and are widely used in automated distribution, e-commerce warehousing, express delivery, cold chain, 3C, cross-border logistics and other scenarios.
1. Matrix sorting grid of express delivery and transportation center
The export matching matrix diamond chute for cross belt sorting machines and balance wheel sorting machines is the most mainstream application. The sorting machine drives the package into the corresponding routing grid, and the package slides down the diamond chute into the collection bag/collection cage; The diamond surface can slow down, avoiding high-speed impact, rolling, and bursting of packages, and reducing the damage rate of ordinary cardboard boxes and soft bags. Large transfer centers such as Shentong and Yuantong are widely used, especially suitable for high-capacity matrix sorting lines.
2. E-commerce warehousing order sorting and outbound
E-commerce warehouses, pre storage warehouses for seeding and sorting, and fruit picking sorting are used for conveying from sorting gates to the collection area. Suitable for multi specification order packages: cardboard boxes, express bags, and clothing soft bags to prevent light and thin packages from slipping and flying out, and small items from getting stuck; Modularization can quickly build multi-layer matrices, improve warehouse space utilization, and ensure stable transportation during peak promotion periods such as Double Eleven.
3. Distribution of fresh cold chain logistics
Fresh fruits, vegetables, frozen products, EPS foam boxes. The foam box is brittle and easy to be broken under the impact of ordinary chute. Diamond chute buffer deceleration, reduce foam box damage, fresh leakage; The spiral diamond chute can achieve multi-layer drop conveying, suitable for transporting mangoes, pomegranates, frozen products, etc. between high and low levels in cold chain industrial parks, reducing cargo damage.
4. 3C、 Digital, valuable and fragile goods storage and sorting
Sort orders for mobile phones, tablets, small appliances, glass products, etc., and use anti-static diamond chutes. Control the sliding speed to avoid scratches on the product casing and impact damage to internal components; The anti-static version eliminates static electricity, protects circuit boards, and is commonly used in after-sales spare parts warehouses.
5. Cross border e-commerce bonded warehouse sorting
Bonded warehouse and export consolidation warehouse, used for small cross-border packages and easily worn goods on waybills. Diamond groove deceleration and buffering to prevent surface friction from blurring and label detachment, ensuring QR code recognition; Adapt to mixed small items of multiple categories, reduce card and package flipping, and ensure the success rate of customs clearance scanning.
6. Automated three-dimensional warehouse outbound material dropping and conveying
After picking in the warehouse, the entire box of materials is transported from the high-level picking platform to the lower level cargo area. Using diamond chutes to achieve large drop gravity conveying, replacing belt conveyors, saving electricity and reducing operation and maintenance costs; Suitable for whole boxes of daily chemical, food, and packaged consumer goods.
7. Package transportation in the loading area
After the packaging is completed, it slides directly from the packaging platforms on the second and third floors to the loading chute inside the carriage. Replace manual handling and reduce secondary loading and unloading damage; The spiral diamond chute can achieve continuous large drop turning and conveying, without the need for complex conveying equipment, suitable for large and batch packaging directly into the vehicle.
8. Return and Reverse Sorting Center
E-commerce return and express return processing center. The return package has a messy form, damaged packaging, and many irregular parts. The diamond chute has better fault tolerance, reducing irregular package jamming and bouncing, and improving the stability of the reverse sorting line.
9. Storage and distribution of pharmaceuticals and cosmetics
Medicine boxes, bottled cosmetics, and hose products are prone to deformation and scratches on the bottle body due to squeezing. The diamond groove slows down smoothly, controls the impact force, and protects the outer packaging and bottle body; The clean sliding groove surface is easy to clean and meets the hygiene management requirements of the pharmaceutical warehouse.
