 Feeding
and Accumulating Systems
Bottle feeding systems are the method by which
bottles are put onto the line whether that be by a large
depalletizer, a bulk bottle unscrambler machine, or even something as
simple as a rotary feed table. All accomplish the goal
of getting bottles onto the packaging line so that they can be
filled, capped, labeled, etc. until we get to the stage where
they need to be accumulated for end of line packaging. For
most companies this means a rotary accumulating table, where
product is cased for shipment. For larger production
environments it means moving into other machinery as outlined
on our
end of line packaging page. The best method for feeding
bulk bottles onto a packaging line is with what is known as a
bulk bottle unscrambler machine like the one to the right. A bulk
bottle unscrambler sorts the random bottles out and stands
them upright onto the conveyor. (Plastic or metal Bottles
Only!)

Bottle and Can Depalletizing Machine
Bottle depalletizer machines remove one tier at a time from
palletized bottles or cans, then remove the separation sheets
to allow the next tier to be stripped off the top. Give
us a call to learn more about the best system for your
depalletizing needs.

Rotary Feed Table
Rotary Unscrambling Tables sort round bottles to
feed off the table in single file. Rotary feed tables
are distinctive from rotary accumulating tables by the
distinctive overhead tooling which helps accomplish
the task of sorting. All rotary unscramblers have
variable speed drives which comes in handy especially
if fed bottles need to have separation.
Rotary Feed Table Options:
- Dump Trays for bottles sent in
reshipper cartons.
- Tray Loaders for
Pharmaceutical vials
- Available in 24", 36", 42",
48" and 60"
Rotary Accumulation Tables
Rotary Accumulators are used to accumulate finished
product at the end of the packaging line. Accumulators
will work with most any shaped product. An
accumulating table is used for packing cartons or
trays and allows the operator to do other momentary
tasks without interrupting the upstream production.
All accumulators are available with variable speed
drives and in 24" to 60" diameters.
