Generally, automated bottle orienters as discussed in a previous whitepaper are preferred for reasons of speed and ergonomics. On the other hand, sometimes they are impractical for a variety of reasons. When bottles have to be loaded on the line manually, unscrambling tables can be used.
Unscrambling tables take bottles from a mass of randomly organized bottles to single file for discharge to a conveyor. Occasionally, they will discharge in multiple lanes. Unscrambling tables also serve as buffers, accumulating a supply of bottles so that the operator doesn’t need to be loading them one by one.
Unscrambling tables come in 2 styles, rotary and linear:
Rotary unscramblers
Rotary unscramblers are sometimes called turntables. The problem with this nomenclature is that turntables can also be used for end of line accumulation or inline buffering. The only difference between the 3 applications is in the guiderail configuration. “Unscrambler” tells us that it is used for converting mass bottles to single file and “rotary” tells us that it does this via a turntable.
