Automatic bottle unscrambler

Automatic bottle unscrambler machinery for production lines

For manufacturers who need a steadier flow of empty bottles before filling, capping, labelling or coding equipment.

Specification advice

Choose the machine route around the bottle and the line.

When an automatic bottle unscrambler is the right route

An automatic bottle unscrambler is normally specified when manual bottle loading is limiting the line, when operators are spending too much time correcting bottle orientation, or when downstream equipment needs more consistent infeed. It can reduce stoppages before fillers, cappers and labellers by presenting bottles in a more controlled stream.

Specification points that matter

The correct machine depends on bottle diameter, height, base stability, empty weight, plastic stiffness, production speed, conveyor height and the transfer point into the next machine. A practical specification should also consider changeovers, cleaning access, guarding and operator loading height.

Typical applications

Automatic unscrambling is commonly used for plastic bottles in cosmetics, household chemicals, food and drink, pharmaceutical-style containers, contract packing and other packaging lines where empty containers must arrive consistently at the first powered machine.

Questions

Common specification questions.

How fast can an automatic bottle unscrambler run?

Typical output depends on bottle size and behaviour. The LU-LP150 route is listed at 30–60 bottles per minute for suitable small plastic bottles.

Can it feed straight into a filling line?

Yes, provided the transfer height, conveyor width, accumulation and controls are matched to the filling machine infeed.
