The installation of the invention further includes a tray-manipulating shuttle robot (9) suitable for moving along the tray conveyor past the sorting outlets, and for extracting a tray from a recess of a sorting outlet associated with it under the control of a monitoring and control unit (19) so as to transfer it to the tray conveyor.
