Tailored Sorting Solutions for Every Library 

Not every library needs a sorter with hundreds of destinations or the capacity to handle thousands of items daily. Every library can, however, benefit from the efficiency and convenience of an automated sorting system—no matter its size. Enter the Sort Mate™ 2000 Series, a modular and customizable solution designed to meet the unique needs of libraries big and small.

For many libraries, the thought of investing in an automated sorting system might seem out of reach, often perceived as a solution reserved for large institutions with high circulation volumes. But automation is not just for the biggest libraries. Smaller libraries can also reap the benefits, from streamlined workflows to a reduced staff burden, without needing an outsized system. 

A System Built for Your Unique Library

The Sort Mate™ 2000 is built with flexibility in mind, making it an ideal fit for libraries of any size or layout. With customizable modules and destinations, the solution can be tailored to your exact requirements, whether you need three, six or sixty sorting points.

Should you be tight on space, that is no problem either. The modular design ensures that the sorter fits seamlessly into even the most unconventional or compact layouts. And the best part is that in most cases, you do not need to redesign your library to accommodate the sorter. Instead, the Sort Mate™ 2000 will be built to accommodate your existing space, working around architectural quirks or constraints to deliver a perfect fit.

For libraries with multiple floors, the Sort Mate™ 2000 can go a step further. By integrating elevators and conveyors, the system ensures efficient sorting and transportation of materials across different levels, keeping your library running smoothly no matter how complex the layout.

Automatic Sorting in Smaller Libraries

Even a smaller sorting system can have a profound impact. Automating the sorting process reduces the time materials spend in transit, meaning quicker returns to shelves and happier patrons. With sorting handled automatically, staff can focus on delivering the best possible service and engaging with visitors rather than being tied up with manual sorting.

Moreover, the system optimizes space, using compact, efficient modules that maintain a quiet, peaceful library environment. Whether it is moving books from the main floor to a children’s section upstairs, transferring DVDs to a basement media area, or anything in between, the Sort Mate™ 2000 ensures that materials flow seamlessly throughout the library. From unconventional layouts to unique operational needs, this system is tailored for every challenge.

We prioritize working around your existing space, ensuring that installation causes minimal disruption and fits effortlessly into your library’s workflow.
