Tipax chooses BEUMER’s sortation system for new hub
Iran-based Tipax has chosen BEUMER Group to deliver, install and commission a high-speed sortation system in its new hub in Tehran. BEUMER Group will be installing its BS 25 Belt Tray Sorter with a throughput of 7,600 parcels an hour.
The system will be able to handle a wide range of parcels.
In a statement sent to Post&Parcel this morning (19 September), BEUMER Group said: “Two feeding lines for the automated transportation of shipments from ground floor to the basement warrant high unloading throughput.
“The two fully automated induction units are equipped with weighing scales to ensure revenue protection. TIPAX decided to invest into a high quality camera system to identify 1D and 2D barcodes at all five visible parcel sides.
“The system features a selection of different chute types according to TIPAX’s needs and the available space.”
The new system is scheduled for operation in Q1 2018.
Tipax is one of Iran’s leading logistics companies and has been active in the courier sector since 1960. According to the company website, the subsidiary Tipax Courier Service delivers more than 8m parcels a year.
Alongside its parcel business, Tipax is now also focusing on the postal sector.
In a statement posted on its website on 27 August, Tipax said that it was “due to obtain” a licence from Iran’s Communications Regularity Authority and it “will soon begin its activity in the post industry”.
Tipax added that it was set to attend the Post-Expo International Fair in Geneva, Switzerland this month (September) where it is “hoping to attract foreign investors in [the] Iran postal industry market”.
