Cyclone Unscrambler
Overview
The Cyclone series Bottle Unscrambler is a compact and simple-to-operate, packaging machine that accepts bulk plastic containers and orients them onto a conveyor.
Bulk Supply Hopper: The integrated bulk supply hopper (approximately 15-cubic feet) with elevator automatically conveys containers to the disc sorter.
Sorting: A rotating disc sorts containers into a single file along the preorienter’s wall. Containers exit through an opening provided in the sorter.
Orienting: Containers travel along an adjustable horizontal channel stopping on a set of dispenser doors. When the doors open, the container drops into a vertical chute with a neck-up orientation.
Discharging: A rotating starwheel at the base of the vertical chute transfers containers onto the discharge conveyor.
