The machine is designed to process around 3,000 large parcels per hour
The conveyor, the organisation says, is capable of processing bulky parcels weighing up to 30kg, which it says will offer improved tracking information to customers.
The new machine is fitted with a dimension, weight and scanner system designed to handle bulkier items, with the ability to process parcels classed as Format 3 & 4.
A second large parcel conveyor will launch soon in Royal Mail’s South Midlands Mail Centre with the potential for further launches in other mail centres across the UK.
Grant McPherson, chief operating officer at Royal Mail, says: “We are working hard to transform the Royal Mail operation to process all parcels more efficiently so that we can deliver an even better experience for our customers.
“By investing in machines that can process bulkier and heavier parcels, we are putting in place the building blocks for higher levels of customer tracking and transparency. This new large parcel conveyor is just another example of how we are investing in reinventing Royal Mail for the future.”
