Bottle sorters and unscramblers

A bottle sorter automatically sorts empty bottles at high speeds by size, color or shape before filling. A bottle unscrambler receives empty bottles in bulk and positions them on a moving conveyor for further processing. Both pieces of equipment are generally integrated into a complete and automated production line. Considerations for selecting a bottle sorter or unscrambler include the size, shape, and material of the bottles, production speed, and sorting criteria. Bottle sorters and unscramblers are used in the food industry for packaging fruit juices, oils, and other liquid products; in the pharmaceutical industry, they are used for the filling of vials, ampoules, and bottles.
