Abstract (en)
A sorting apparatus for laundry comprises a feeding conveyor (A), a reading conveyor (B), an intermediate conveyor (C) and a sorting section (D) with a number of sorting units (1) each incorporating an inclined conveyor (2). Items of laundry are individually conveyed from position E and distributed to a number of destinations (5). Between each conveyor (2) there is arranged a sorting unit (1) comprising at least one moveable or pivotable plate. At the end of the sorting apparatus there is arranged an additional sorting shaft (6). Each item carries an electronic transponder which is read by the antenna (21) by the reading conveyor (B). The reading is entered in the control unit of the apparatus which controls the sorting by applying information from encoders (23, 23', 23'') and photo cell arrangements (24, 24', 24'') by the individual conveyors. <IMAGE>
