The SO-4 distinguishes the bottle’s incoming orientation based on
container symmetry, using a variety of inspection methods, and orients
the bottles accordingly. The bottles will face the same way to suit
the customer’s downstream packaging operation. The SO-4 can orient 90,
180, or 270 degrees depending upon inspection results. The SO-4 is a
self-contained, freestanding unit, and offers a low profile. Operators
have easy access for changeovers. The SO-4 slides up to the customer’s
existing conveyor for ease of installation. The simple (hand crank or
electric) height adjustment allows it to be raised when not in use and
lowered for the next changeover. The orienter provides a smooth
continuous motion, advanced custom design incorporating non-marring
transfer belts. It is capable of up to 150 containers per minutes,
depending on the bottle size.
