Rotary unscrambler for plastic bottles

Streamline your bottling process with a solution that efficiently sorts, orients, and transfers various container types, ensuring seamless integration and enhanced productivity in high-speed operations.

Sorts and Orients Bottles for Packaging Lines

The Rotary Unscrambler from IMA Swiftpack offers a comprehensive solution for high-speed bottle sorting and orientation in packaging lines. Designed to accommodate a diverse array of containers—from pill bottles to energy drink containers—this machine excels in efficiency with throughput capabilities reaching up to 180 bottles per minute. The unscrambler processes bottles by loading them into a large covered hopper and utilizing a starwheel to separate and orient each bottle. Integration with existing production lines is seamless, thanks to automatic container queue control at the outfeed and synchronization with line outputs. Constructed from stainless steel and acrylic, the machine ensures longevity and meets the latest GMP requirements. Quick-release change parts allow for tool-free bottle format changes within 5 minutes, enhancing operational flexibility. Optional features, such as an in-line bottle cleaning attachment, provide added versatility. The rotary unscrambler’s safety guarding and reduced energy consumption make it a reliable and efficient choice for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, food, beverage, and personal care industries.
