A method of sorting postal objects

摘要

Method of sorting postal objects in which a postal sorting machine (1) has a first input (A) and at least one second input (B) and a plurality of outputs (U1... Un) communicating with the inputs (A, B) via a sorter device (17). The method comprises the steps of: supplying first and second streams (F1, F2) of postal objects to the first and second inputs (A, B), directing the postal objects (7) to all the outputs (N); withdrawing from at least some of the outputs groups of postal objects previously directed to respective outputs forming two collections (Ca, Cb) of groups of postal objects; and operating in a transport mode which each postal object (7) supplied to the first input (A) is directed only towards a first subset (Wa) of the outputs and each postal object (7) supplied to the second input (B) is directed only towards the second subset (Wb) of the said output. During the said transport mode the groups of postal objects belonging to a respective collection (Ca, Cb) are supplied respectively to the first and second input.
