Working Principle & Operation of Unscrambler & auto Orientor :

The empty containers are fed to the feed hopper of unscrambler. Containers are taken through
Flat belt under feed hopper to the Cleated belt elevator, which feeds the containers to the
secondary hopper.

In the secondary hopper, two rotary discs of different diameters, depending on the width of the
containers, are rotated by means of variable frequency drive. Because of centrifugal force, the
containers fall in to the channel width wise and are fed to the side belt conveyor one after the
other.

Side belt conveyor makes it possible to create gap between consecutive containers and by means
of suitable lever attached to the rotary cylinder, the containers are oriented in bottom leading
condition. In this position all the containers are traveling with bottom leading condition only in
the side belt conveyor.

Mechanical device then makes the containers standing & travels further. At the end of side belt
conveyor, the containers are fed to another set of spring loaded side belt for reducing the speed to
deliver the containers smoothly to the Orientor conveyor.

Containers are fed to the Orienting station through a feed screw to create uniform gap between
the containers. Photo Sensors, used to identify the make orientation (Leading or Trailing) &
gives the signal to the servo operated 180 degree rotary cylinders with gripper. The cylinder rotates
the wrongly oriented containers to the required orientation.

Correctly oriented containers are then discharged to the in feed conveyor of the Filling Machine.
