The Benefits
Post and Parcel Conveyor Systems
What Are Post and Parcel Conveyor Systems?
Post and parcel conveyor systems are automated material handling installations that receive, convey, sort and dispatch mail, parcels and packages at high volume. In a modern distribution centre or sortation hub, a parcel conveyor system moves thousands of items per hour, reading each one and routing it automatically to the correct destination, chute or vehicle.
SIS designs, installs, integrates and maintains post and parcel conveyor systems for distribution centres and warehouses across the UK. From a single collector line to a fully integrated sortation system, every solution is engineered around your throughput, product mix and site, and backed by the same first-tier engineering support we bring to airport baggage handling.
Key Components of a Parcel Sortation System
A parcel sortation system brings together several types of conveyor and control technology. Collector systems gather items from multiple feed lines onto a single stream, and high-speed sortation then routes each parcel to the right destination:

Post and Parcel Conveyor Systems — Frequently Asked Questions
What is a parcel conveyor system?
A parcel conveyor system is an automated line of conveyors and sortation equipment that receives, moves, sorts and dispatches parcels at high volume. SIS designs, installs and maintains parcel conveyor systems for distribution centres and sortation hubs across the UK.
What is a collector system?
A collector system, or collector conveyor, consolidates items arriving from several feed lines onto a single stream, ready for sortation. Collector systems are a core part of efficient post and parcel handling.
What types of sortation do you supply?
We specify and integrate the sortation technology that fits your throughput and product, including cross-belt, tilt-tray and sliding-shoe sorters, along with the collector, accumulation and divert conveyors that feed them.
Which sectors do you provide post and parcel systems for?
Postal and courier hubs, parcel carriers, and e-commerce fulfilment and distribution centres. We have delivered projects for clients including Amazon, DPD and FedEx.
Do you install and maintain parcel conveyor systems in the UK?
Yes. SIS is based in the West Midlands and installs, integrates and maintains post and parcel conveyor systems for sites across the whole of the UK, including planned maintenance and on-call support.
What is the difference between a post and a parcel conveyor system?
Both use the same core conveyor and sortation technology. Post handling tends to deal with higher volumes of smaller, uniform items, while parcel handling covers a wider range of sizes and weights, so the system is engineered around the specific product mix and throughput of each operation.
