Abstract
A mail sortation system that can process mail, either letter or flat, from random order to delivery point sequence (DPS) order, in a single sortation pass. The system has a first sortation assembly comprising a plurality of individual open-topped receptacles into which mail is received, each receptacle having a trap door for selectively dumping its contents. A second sortation assembly comprises a linearly-translating conveyor positioned beneath the first sortation assembly, and an open topped bin travels along the conveyor to gather mail from the first assembly in a DPS sequence. A third sortation assembly comprises a linearly-translating conveyor arranged parallel to and directly beneath the second sortation assembly, and a plurality of mail bins mounted atop for receiving DPS-sorted batches from the second assembly.
