Practical guidance for buyers comparing automatic bottle unscramblers, rotary bottle feeders and integrated bottle infeed systems.
Specification advice
What this means for the bottle infeed section.
Focus on machine fit, not only keyword match
Bottle feeding equipment needs to be matched to the real bottle and layout. The guide pages below explain the key checks.
Move from research to shortlist
When the bottle and line information is ready, the next step is to request a sensible machine shortlist from Lancing UK.
Practical checks
Use the bottle and line data to reduce quote guesswork.
The best enquiry includes real bottle information, the target line speed and details of the downstream equipment. This gives the supplier enough information to recommend a sensible machine route instead of guessing from a catalogue picture.
For urgent projects, send bottle photos, sample dimensions, output target, conveyor height and a short description of the current line problem.
