What are the characteristics of manual matrix sorting chute
The manual matrix sorting chute mainly has the following characteristics:
1、 Structural characteristics
1. Simple and intuitive

The manual matrix sorting chute mainly has the following characteristics:
1、 Structural characteristics
1. Simple and intuitive
Its structure is relatively simple, usually composed of a series of inclined grooves. These chutes are generally made of metal (such as stainless steel) or high-strength plastic, with regular shapes, and installed on a support structure to form a matrix arrangement. The operator can easily understand its working principle and operation mode.
For example, in a small express package sorting center, the manual matrix sorting chute may be composed of multiple stainless steel chutes arranged side by side and with a certain inclination angle. Packages are manually placed into the chute from a conveyor belt at a high place, and then slide down to the corresponding sorting area by gravity.
2. Flexible utilization of space
Layout can be based on actual site space and sorting requirements. It can be a compact small matrix, suitable for places with limited space; It can also be expanded into a large matrix containing numerous chutes to handle a large number of sorting tasks.
For example, in a corner of a warehouse, due to the narrow space, the manual matrix sorting chute can be designed as a slender matrix to make reasonable use of this limited space while ensuring a certain sorting efficiency.
3. Easy to install and maintain
The installation process is relatively simple and does not require complex technology or large equipment. Generally, it is only necessary to fix the chute on the bracket, connect the corresponding support structure, and adjust the tilt angle.
In terms of maintenance, the main task is to inspect the surface of the chute to prevent wear, deformation, and other issues. If a certain groove is damaged, it is also relatively easy to replace. Usually, only the damaged groove needs to be disassembled and a new groove needs to be installed.
2、 Operation characteristics
1. Strong dependence on manual operation
The entire sorting process requires manual involvement in placing items into the chute. The operator needs to determine which chute the item should fall into based on its identification (such as the address label on the courier package). This requires operators to have a certain level of recognition ability and operational proficiency.
For example, in book sorting work, operators need to manually place books in the corresponding chute according to the classification number on the back cover of the book, so that the books can slide down to the corresponding bookshelf area for classification and storage.
2. High sorting accuracy
When operators become proficient in sorting rules, they can achieve relatively high sorting accuracy. Because manual sorting can carefully observe the characteristics and identification of each item, compared to some automated sorting equipment that may be affected by factors such as blurry labels and irregular shapes of items, manual sorting can better handle these complex situations to a certain extent.
Taking electronic component sorting as an example, the model identification of some electronic components may be relatively small or not fixed in position. Manual inspection can correctly sort different models of components into their corresponding slots, thereby improving the accuracy of product classification.
3. The sorting speed is relatively slow
Due to the speed of manual operation, its sorting efficiency is usually lower than that of automated sorting systems. Operators need to judge and place items one by one, and manual operation is prone to fatigue, which may further reduce sorting speed after long-term work.
For example, when sorting a large number of clothing packages, manual matrix sorting chutes may only be able to sort 10-20 packages per minute, while automated sorting equipment may be able to sort hundreds of packages per minute.
3、 Cost characteristics
1. Low equipment cost
Compared to automated sorting equipment, the purchase cost of equipment for manual matrix sorting chutes is lower. It does not require expensive components such as complex sensors, control systems, and high-speed transmission devices, and the main cost is concentrated in the chute material and simple bracket structure.
For example, a small manual matrix sorting chute (containing 10-20 chutes) may cost only a few thousand yuan, while an automated package sorting system may cost several hundred thousand yuan or even higher.
2. Operating costs mainly consist of labor costs
The main operating cost is labor expenses. Due to the need for manual sorting operations, operating costs will correspondingly increase in areas with high labor costs. But in some areas with abundant labor resources and lower costs, this sorting method may have a cost advantage.
Assuming that in a warehouse in an economically underdeveloped area, the monthly salary for hiring sorting workers is relatively low, using manual matrix sorting chutes for goods sorting, the operating cost is mainly worker wages. Compared to purchasing automation equipment and paying for equipment maintenance, energy consumption, and other expenses, it may be more cost-effective.
