Sortiflex, unveiled at the Forvet Showcase in February 2021, represents a cutting-edge innovation in the glass industry. It addresses the pressing demand for process flexibility encountered by modern glass companies. Sortiflex acts as a temporary buffer, streamlining the flow of glass from multiple sources to a single exit, or from one source to various exits. Sheets are diverted from the processing line via a dedicated shuttle for this purpose.

What sets Sortiflex apart are its patented glass storage buffers, featuring two overlapping storage levels that effectively double the available storage positions within the same footprint. This innovative design significantly augments storage capacity without requiring additional floor space. Furthermore, depending on glass length, each buffer position can accommodate varying quantities of glass pieces.

The SORTING optimization software, developed by Forvet, seamlessly integrates into the production cycle, allowing for fully automated, real-time control. This software communicates with production stations, optimizing their processes and providing operators with a live overview of production status.

Sortiflex, like all Forvet solutions, is highly customizable, tailored to meet the unique requirements of each customer.
