Rotary Table

Applications & Use Cases

• Used for accumulating products at the end of a production line, allowing for manual packing or further processing.
• Ideal for buffering products between different stages of a processing line, managing flow and preventing bottlenecks.
• Facilitates the orientation and singulation of products for subsequent automated or manual operations.
• Commonly employed in packaging lines to present products to operators for inspection, labelling, or boxing.

Typical Specifications

Typical table diameter

Typically ranges from 600mm to 1500mm for this class of equipment, depending on product size and accumulation needs.

Power supply

Commonly operates on standard industrial single-phase (230V) or three-phase (400V) electrical supplies, often with variable speed control.

Construction material

Typically constructed from stainless steel (grade 304 or 316) for food contact areas, with mild steel frames for structural support.

Operating speed

Variable speed control is commonly found, allowing adjustment to match line throughput, typically from 1 to 10 RPM.

Product compatibility

Suitable for a wide range of products, from small packaged goods to individual food items, depending on table design and side guides.

Footprint

The footprint is largely determined by the table diameter, plus any motor housing and support structure, typically requiring 1-2 square metres.
