In a system for sorting packages ( 17 ), such as cans and bottles, the packages are transferred from a sack or the like to a tiltable unloading container ( 1 ), where the packages are supplied to a funnel ( 3 ) with an inclined conveyor belt ( 4 ) having a plurality of carriers ( 5, 6 ) between which the packages may be placed singly. The packages are moved from the funnel ( 3 ) up the inclined conveyor ( 4 ), and from there to a horizontal conveyor ( 11, 13 ) having five sections ( 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 ), it being possible to adjust the speed of some of the sections. The packages are guided from the 3rd section of the horizontal conveyor into and through a recording unit ( 13 ) by a translatory movement, where a plurality of cameras ( 15, 16 ) record characteristics of the individual package for use in the sorting, recording, compaction and the like. The invention provides a system in which sorting of cans and bottles may take place at a greater speed than before.
