Buskro BK160 Conveyor Sort Module Demo
Product Details
The Buskro BK160 conveyor sort module routes mail pieces to multiple output bins based on per-piece sortation data — the inline alternative to post-production manual sorting. This video shows the sort module in operation on a production direct mail line.
What this video shows: Mail pieces moving down the conveyor with each piece's sortation data read upstream, the sort module engaging the appropriate divert gate to route each piece to its destination bin, and pieces collecting in multiple bins based on the sort logic. Real-time gate control at line speed.
Who runs the Buskro BK160: Mail service providers running rate-sort direct mail campaigns. Statement and notice printers splitting output by mailing class or destination. Large in-house mailing operations sorting daily output by zone or rate tier. Operations earning USPS automation discounts through inline sortation.
Why inline sortation over post-production sorting: Post-production sorting requires the operator to handle every piece manually — the slowest possible workflow. Inline sortation sorts at line speed with no operator handling per piece. For any rate-sort campaign, the postage savings and labor savings together justify the sort module fast.

Frequently asked
How many sort bins can the module support?
Bin count is configurable based on operation needs — typical configurations support 4 to 12 bins. Larger sort schemes use multiple sort modules in sequence.
What sort logic does the module use?
Most installations use upstream barcode reading (IMb or similar) for sort logic. Pre-programmed sequence and scale-based sort are also supported for specific use cases.
Can the module retrofit into an existing direct mail line?
Yes — the sort module integrates with most production direct mail lines through standard control interfaces. Footprint and bin layout depend on line geometry. Confirm with a Mailtech specialist.
