FIELD: transport.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to mail processing hardware and can be used for automation of mail sorting. Proposed sorter has intake bin, sorting machine, mechanical analyser, copying device and belt conveyors. Proposed sorter comprises vertical sorting device branching downward and equipped with branching points with mail passage pickups and coordinator of mail direction to required branch. Said branches have pulsed air valves electrically connected with computer. Said computer is connected with bar code readout devices located at every side of the first flute of sorter branching downward. Said computer generates short-term pulses for opening of required pulsed air valves at operation of mail flute passage pickups. Said pulsed air pulses push said mail by compressed air to definite flute of aforesaid sorter at pulsed air valve open state. Conveyor belt is arranged under every branch to extract sorted main for mailman for deliver to preset address.
