Sorting systems
Well begun is half done

The first step determines everything that follows. An efficient sorting system organises incoming laundry, buffers it intelligently and continuously feeds the wash line. The result is a predictable, automated laundry flow that keeps production moving.

Why sorting matters

Sorting is key to organise every item before it enters production. Combined with buffering, laundry becomes available exactly when production needs them, creating a predictable and automated process from the very first step.

Designed around your operation.

Every sorting station is designed to solve a different operational challenge. From cost-effective sorting and intelligent buffering to maximum flexibility and ergonomic handling, each solution helps create a smoother, more efficient laundry process.
Choose from our three sorting station concepts: Sort-in-bag, sort-in-bin and sort-on-conveyor, each engineered around different operational needs.

Maximum flexibility

Sort-in-bin station

When your laundry handles many different sorting categories, the sort-in-bin station keeps the process organised and efficient. Operators can sort multiple categories simultaneously, while bins automatically empty and become immediately available again. The result is a continuous workflow with maximum flexibility.

Cost-effective investment

Sort-in-bag station

The sort-in-bag station offers a simple and reliable way to sort large volumes of laundry. By combining sorting with buffering, it keeps operators working continuously while maintaining a steady flow towards the wash line. An efficient solution for laundries looking for dependable performance with a lower investment.

For heavy and bulky laundry

Sort-on-conveyor station

Built for demanding laundry operations, the sort-on-conveyor station makes sorting large or heavy items easier and more ergonomic. Operators receive clear sorting instructions while conveyors transport every batch directly to its destination, creating a smooth and continuous sorting process.

WSP helps you select the solution that best fits your operation and future growth plans.

Yes. WSP designs solutions for both new installations and existing laundries. As a brand-independent system integrator, we can integrate sorting stations with existing conveyors, bag rail systems, washers, RFID technology and our WinWash® software platform, minimising disruption during implementation.

Buffering ensures that sorted laundry is always available when the washers are ready for it. And after that, instead of waiting operators for laundry, textiles are automatically released in the correct sequence. This creates a continuous laundry flow, improves washer utilisation, reduces downtime and increases overall production efficiency.

A sorting system improves efficiency by organising textiles before they enter the laundry production floor. Instead of manually searching, transporting and preparing batches, laundry is automatically sorted and buffered in the correct sequence. This keeps washers continuously supplied, reduces manual handling, minimises downtime and helps increase throughput across the entire laundry operation.
