Gravity-driven FIFO sorting station
Real-world operational challenges solved through custom sheet metal engineering, space-saving geometry, and workflow optimization.
Manual dock sortation during peak shipping hours causes parcel mis-sorts, congested staging buffers, and delayed delivery truck dispatch.
Target Deployment: Cross-dock parcel sorting stations, express courier hubs, and high-throughput order consolidation lines.
Dual-Surface Gravity Flow Mechanics: Integrates calibrated 73-type Placon roller tracks with 5 mm ultra-smooth polypropylene (PP) guide chutes, delivering controlled, low-friction parcel descent that enforces strict First-In, First-Out (FIFO) staging.
Modular Aluminum HJ Frame & SKU Lane Dividers: Built with lightweight structural aluminum pipes and industrial HJ-1 through HJ-4 metal joints, featuring dedicated lane dividers that eliminate parcel crossover during peak dispatch sorting.
Engineered to strict industrial manufacturing tolerances with complete raw material mill test traceability.

The Sorting FIFO Station manufactured by Sameta Metal Pro features a verified load rating of High Volume Sorting, nominal dimensions of Customizable per engineering requirement, and is fabricated from certified MS CRCA/HR/HRPO with Powder Coated. All joints are welded conforming to AWS D1.1 and IS 817 standards for rugged industrial durability.
Fabricated exclusively from prime certified steel with 100% Mill Test Certificate (MTC) heat traceability. Parts are processed on high-precision CNC fiber lasers (±0.1 mm) and multi-axis CNC press brakes (±0.2 mm / ±0.5°) adhering to ISO 2768-m. Surface protection features an automated 9-stage chemical pre-treatment with zinc/iron phosphating and conveyorized powder coating (60–80μ DFT) tested to 500+ hours of ASTM salt spray resistance.
Yes. As a turnkey contract manufacturer operating a 60,000 sq. ft. facility in Chennai, India, we support complete custom engineering. We can adjust dimensions, modify caster or hitch configurations, add RFID/barcode brackets, apply custom corporate RAL powder shades, and laser-mark customer asset tags. Our engineering team provides 3D CAD modeling and DFM analysis within 24–48 hours.
Production lead times typically range from 2 to 4 weeks depending on batch volume, with first-article prototype sampling delivered in 5–7 business days. We accommodate flexible Minimum Order Quantities (MOQs) for pilot testing up to multi-container enterprise rollouts. For global exports, products are packed in ISPM-15 heat-treated fumigated wooden crates with VCI anti-rust barrier wrapping, situated just 40 km from Chennai Port for streamlined ocean freight to North America, Europe, and the Middle East.
