Bottle information
Record the bottle diameter, height, base shape, material, empty weight, neck finish, shoulder profile and whether the bottle is round, oval, square or shaped.
Specification checklist
Bottle unscrambler specification checklist for UK buyers
A stronger bottle unscrambler enquiry gives a faster, more accurate shortlist. Gather the bottle, speed, line layout and downstream machinery information before requesting advice.
Specification advice
Improve the bottle feed before it limits the line.
Line information
Confirm target bottles per minute or bottles per hour, conveyor height, available floor space, downstream machine type, direction of travel and whether the line needs accumulation.
Operational information
Include changeover frequency, cleaning requirements, operator loading method, future bottle formats and any current problems such as tipping, bridging, starvation or manual correction.
What to check
Use the bottle and the line layout to choose the correct route.
For a practical shortlist, send the bottle dimensions, target output, container photos and the downstream equipment details. Lancing UK can then advise whether a compact rotary route, automatic bottle unscrambler or wider infeed solution is the better starting point.

Questions
Common search and specification questions.
What is the most important information for a quote?
Bottle dimensions, target output, line layout and downstream machine details are the most important starting points.
Should photos be included?
Yes. Photos of the bottle and existing line layout make it easier to understand the practical integration issue.

State the exceptions as well as the normal bottle range
Add an exceptions list to the dimensional specification. Identify unstable bottles, unusual shapes, inconsistent batches, containers prone to nesting and formats that are only planned for the future. This helps the supplier distinguish a firm acceptance requirement from an option that still needs investigation.
Make the output requirement observable. State where accepted bottles are counted, the run duration and the interruptions that should be included. Keep requirements for bulk loading, buffering and orientation separate so the proposed scope explains which functions are supplied and which remain with existing equipment.
- Requirement status
- Mark each bottle format as current, proposed or awaiting samples.
- Acceptance point
- Use a named physical point at the receiving line for the agreed output and presentation checks.
What makes a quotation easier to compare?
Use the same bottle register, operating sequence, handover point and included accessories for every proposal, and list unresolved assumptions explicitly.
