Daily checks
Check the bottle loading area, outfeed guides, sensor faces and transfer points. Remove debris or crushed bottles before they become a repeat stoppage.
Maintenance
Bottle unscrambler maintenance guide
Reliable bottle feeding depends on clean transfer points, correct guide settings and regular checks of wear parts and sensors.
Specification advice
What this means for the bottle infeed section.
Changeover checks
Confirm guide positions, bottle rails, outfeed timing and any change parts before restarting production after a format change.
Preventative maintenance
Inspect belts, rollers, drives, guards, fasteners and sensors. Keep records of repeated stoppages so the underlying cause can be corrected.
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.

Questions
Common questions before choosing a bottle infeed route.
How often should a bottle feeder be checked?
Basic visual checks should be made daily, with planned maintenance based on use, environment and manufacturer guidance.
What causes repeat jams?
Guide misalignment, unstable bottles, dirty sensors, worn belts or poor transfer geometry are common causes.
Can maintenance improve line speed?
Yes. A reliable infeed often improves practical output even when headline machine speed is unchanged.
