The sorting installation () of the invention for sorting mailpieces () includes sorting outlets () in line along a sorting conveyor (), each outlet having a recess () for receiving a tray () in which sorted mailpieces are stored, and also a tray conveyor () that extends under the sorting outlets for transporting the trays filled with sorted mailpieces from the sorting outlets to a feed inlet () of the sorting conveyor. The installation of the invention further includes a tray-manipulating shuttle robot () suitable for moving along the tray conveyor past the sorting outlets, and for extracting a tray from a recess of a sorting outlet associated with it under the control of a monitoring and control unit () so as to transfer it to the tray conveyor.

Apparatus for measuring the stiffness of mail articles on the principle of measuring deflection of a beam in bending comprises a rectilinear conveying portion for conveying the mail articles, a deflection roller disposed in a staggered offset manner between two wheels having deformable rims in such a manner as to form a substantially triangular peak on the rectilinear conveying portion, and an inlet ramp that is disposed upstream from the peak and that follows the upward slope of the peak.

A conveyor apparatus including a main conveyor by which mail items are routed by being nipped between a transport belt and a main belt, and a secondary conveyor towards which the mail items are routed, after switching, along a secondary belt. The main and secondary belts performing the main conveying and the secondary conveying functions are constituted by a single, common belt that is twisted twice. The twice-twisted belt is engaged over a tensioner pulley that is a floating pulley.
