Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2005025763A1] The invention relates to a method for sorting mailings according to the distribution sequence in a sorter unit with circulating pouches, whereby the number of pouches in a pouch circuit is less than the number of mailings for sorting in said sorting run. After all pouches are loaded, the separation and reading of the remaining mailings for said sorting run is carried out and the mailings are divided into one part for corresponding mailing points for the beginning or the end of a distribution sequence, which are in the pouches for the end of the division process and another part for all the charged mailings, which are then buffered (2). The mailings in the pouches are then sorted according to the distribution sequence (3). The buffered mailings are placed in the empty pouches and then separated into further distribution sections, when not all buffered mailings fit in the pouches (4,5). Once all pouches are filled with the buffered mailings for the subsequent distribution section the next sorting is carried out.
