Unilogo Robotics SORTER

• Sorting and orienting caps for packaging lines in food and beverage production.
• Handling closures for jars and bottles in pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries.
• Automating the feeding of caps to capping machines.
• Ensuring correct cap orientation for high-speed production.
• Reducing manual labour in packaging processes.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, capacities commonly range from 30 to over 100 parts per minute, depending on cap size and complexity.

Power supply

Units of this type typically operate on standard industrial single-phase or three-phase power, commonly 230V or 400V, 50Hz.

Construction materials

Commonly constructed from stainless steel for hygiene and durability, with contact parts often made from food-grade polyamides or similar plastics.

Suitable cap sizes

Cap sorters are typically designed for a specific range of diameters and heights, often requiring change parts for significant variations.

Footprint

The footprint for these machines can vary, but they are generally designed to integrate into existing packaging lines, often requiring a floor area of 1-2 square metres.

Control system

Typically features a PLC-based control system with a user-friendly HMI for operation and parameter adjustment.

• What types of caps can this sorter handle?

  Cap sorters are typically designed for specific cap types, such as screw caps, snap-on caps, or lug caps. Buyers should confirm compatibility with their specific cap design.

• Is this machine suitable for food contact applications?

• What maintenance is typically required?

• Can the sorting speed be adjusted?

• Are spare parts readily available?

• What is involved in integrating this sorter into an existing line?

Sorting and grading equipment is valued for improving product consistency and processing efficiency. Buyers typically seek machines in good mechanical condition with minimal wear on critical components like belts, motors and calibration systems. Common strengths include reliable performance when properly maintained, cost savings versus new equipment, and compatibility with existing production lines. Industry sentiment favours models from established manufacturers known for durability. Buyers should inspect electrical systems thoroughly and verify spare parts availability before purchasing used units.
