Our bottle positioner/sorter extracts bottles, jars, salt shakers or other elongated shapes contained in bulk in a hopper and places them on a single lane in the right direction. Bottles and jars can be extracted by taking them by the neck to an air conveyor. Other products without necks can be placed on a pallet chain conveyor, or positioned in cups if angular positioning is required. For multi-lane sorting, the C4-XC bottle and jar straightener is more suitable.
Principle:
On the infeed, a hopper is filled manually by an operator (or automatically) via a conveyor from a storage area. Products are transferred in a controlled way, to an area where gripping bars with keyways raise them to retain only products which are upside down. At their highest point, products tip over onto the right side and descend for accumulation in buffer lanes. They are fed transversely according to the possibilities described above by a dual synchronized unstacking system.
