Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2009047177A1] The invention relates to a sorting system for sorting bulk goods, wherein a plurality of sorter elements (1) are guided and run along a horizontal, preferably closed, track of a stationary guideway, the sorter elements (1) being driven in the direction of transport. One bulk good (5) is transported on each sorter element, either on one at a time or resting on several sorter elements, from a loading point to an unloading point, where it is loaded and/or unloaded transversally (7) to said direction of transport. In order to create a reliable and low-wear sorting system which is not sensitive to dust and other deposits and which produces minimal noise, it is suggested that the drive and guidance of the sorter elements (1) is carried out in a contactless manner, and the sorter elements carry the load in a floating manner.
