Omega Design UK LCX Rotary Pocket Unscrambler for bottles

• Orienting and feeding empty plastic or glass bottles into a filling line.
• Integrating into packaging lines for pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and personal care products.
• Used in food and beverage production for high-speed bottle handling.
• Preparing containers for labelling, filling, and capping processes.
• Automating the initial stage of many bottling operations to improve efficiency.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, capacities commonly range from 60 to 200 bottles per minute, depending on bottle size and machine configuration.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with varying power consumption based on motor size.

Bottle size range

A rotary pocket unscrambler is generally designed to handle a specific range of bottle diameters and heights, often from 50ml to 2 litres.

Footprint

The footprint for a rotary unscrambler can vary, but typically requires a floor area of approximately 1.5m x 1.5m to 2m x 2m, plus space for infeed hoppers.

Construction material

Components in contact with bottles are commonly made from food-grade plastics or stainless steel, with the main frame typically stainless steel or painted mild steel.

Air supply

Many rotary unscramblers utilise compressed air for bottle orientation or rejection, typically requiring a clean, dry air supply at 6-8 bar.

• What types of bottles can this machine handle?

  This type of unscrambler is primarily designed for plastic (PET, HDPE) and sometimes glass bottles. The specific bottle shapes and sizes it can handle depend on the change parts installed.

• Are change parts included or required?

• What is the typical lead time for installation and commissioning?

• What maintenance is typically required for a rotary unscrambler?

• Can this unit be integrated into an existing production line?

• Is training typically provided for operation and maintenance?

Laboratory conveying and line integration equipment typically earns solid reputation for reliability and operational efficiency in biotech and pharma settings. Buyers value systems that maintain product integrity during transfer whilst minimising contamination risks. When purchasing used units, inspectors should verify gentle handling capabilities, material compatibility certifications, and maintenance history. Key strengths include modular design flexibility, straightforward integration with existing production lines, and durable construction. Condition of seals, motors and control systems warrant particular attention during assessment.
