At LogiMAT, conveyor technology provider Interroll attracted attention with a new chain-belt sorting system developed after the acquisition of Sortteq. Together with MCP Play, this creates a material flow ecosystem that combines single-item transport with intelligent sorting.
In recent years, companies have invested heavily in automating their intralogistics. However, many systems continue to operate as isolated solutions; data remains fragmented, and the full potential of modern automation often goes untapped. Today's dynamic requirements demand solutions that can reduce complexity while optimizing performance in real time .
Gap closed
With chain-belt sorting, Interroll expands its sorting capacity by closing a throughput gap in its portfolio of between 3500 and 8000 items per hour, while simultaneously significantly expanding the application range of MCP Play.

At LogiMAT, Interroll demonstrated how this gap can be closed by system, winner of the IFOY Award 2025, with the new Sortteq-based chain belt sorting combining function" , enables itemsto be transported on the conveyor belt at shorter intervals.
«Adjust to gap»
The Interroll Chain Belt Sorter, based on Sortteq technology which uses bidirectionally rotating chain belts as a transport and sorting unit, complements this capability with a sorting capacity of up to 8000 items per hour.
The result of this combination is simplified interfaces, reduced planning effort, and an overall reduction in system complexity. "Customers want performance without complexity, and system integrators also need solutions that simplify design, integration, and operation"says Markus Asch, CEO of Interroll.
Integrated system
“By expanding our sorting expertise with products based on Sortteq technologies and adding further system functions to MCP Play, we are combining two strategic initiatives into an integrated modular ecosystem that supports our markets worldwide.”
An interesting path from component excellence to system management.
