Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1820575A1] The method involves monitoring a filling level of a loaded tray in each of several sorting outlets during sorting. A handling system is commanded, once the tray is full, for automatically transferring the full tray from the outlet to a full tray conveyor, and for automatically loading an empty tray in the outlet. Information indicating the transfer of the full tray is stored in a memory in a sorting machine, and is controlled for bringing the full trays from all outlets to the conveyor. The conveyor is advanced for evacuating, in sequence, all full trays on a recirculation conveyor line.
