Bottle Unscrambler

Home|Bottle Unscrambler

Our Bottle Unscrambler is a high-speed automatic system designed to efficiently sort and orient empty plastic bottles before feeding them into filling and packaging lines. Built to handle a wide variety of bottle shapes and sizes, this machine plays a critical role in streamlining production lines in industries such as pharmaceuticals, food & beverages,cosmetics, chemicals, and nutraceuticals.

Key Features

  • High-Speed Operation – Capable of unscrambling up to 200 bottles per minute (model-dependent)
  • Tool-less Changeover – Quick and easy adjustment for different bottle sizes and shapes
  • Gentle Handling – Ensures no scratches or deformation during bottle orientation
  • Compact Footprint – Space-saving design ideal for integrated production lines
  • cGMP & CE Compliant Design – Hygienic stainless steel construction (SS304/SS316 as required)
  • PLC-Based Controls – User-friendly HMI interface with speed adjustment and diagnostics
  • Dust-Free Operation – Enclosed design with optional ionized air cleaning system
  • No Bottle–No Feed System – Prevents wastage and improves operational efficiency

Working Principle

The Bottle Unscrambler works on a centrifugal or air-lift mechanism (based on model) that collects randomly oriented bottles from a bulk hopper. These bottles are gently guided into a rotating disc or orientation chamber, where they are aligned upright using mechanical guides, air jets, or a combination of both.

Once properly oriented, the bottles are smoothly transferred onto the downstream conveyor system towards the filling machine. Sensors ensure that misaligned or fallen bottles are rejected or re-routed for correction.

Applications

  • Oral Liquid & Syrup Bottles
  • Cosmetic Containers
  • Nutraceutical and Health Drink Bottles
  • Agrochemical and Chemical Bottles
  • Any round/square plastic bottles used in automated packaging
