Rotary bottle unscrambler Unscrambler

in-linefor productionoptions

Overview The UNCRAMBLER is a rotary unscrambler designed to orient and feed bottles into packaging lines. Bottles are loaded randomly into a large covered hopper, raised by a flighted infeed into a primary starwheel that separates and indexes containers into pockets. A secondary starwheel transfers bottles onto the outfeed conveyor while inverted bottles are ejected with compressed air. The machine can be synchronised to downstream line outputs and uses container back-up control to manage flow.

Operation principle The system comprises a large covered product hopper, a flighted infeed that elevates containers into a primary starwheel for separation and indexing, and a secondary starwheel that places containers onto the outfeed conveyor. Pneumatic ejection removes upside-down bottles. Queue/back-up control synchronises the unscrambler with downstream equipment.

Key machine highlights

• Product hopper: Large covered hopper for random bottle loading
• Structure: Stainless steel and acrylic construction
• Safety: Safety guarding
• Speed: Electronic speed control
• Queue control: Automatic container queue control at outfeed
• Optional feature: In-line bottle cleaning attachment available

Applications and flexibility Designed for efficient bottle orientation and feeding into packaging and filling lines. Quick-change, tool-free change parts allow format changeovers in approximately 5 minutes, enabling fast reconfiguration between different bottle sizes and shapes.

Notes Depending on model, product and container size/shape, actual performance and outputs may vary.
