Automatic Bottle Unscrambler & Orienting Machine

About Automatic Bottle Unscrambler & Orienting Machine

Automatic bottle unscramblers orient randomly bulk-fed empty bottles upright and neck-leading, feeding them single-file to fillers, cappers and labelers. CECLE supplies 1 machine that removes manual sorting bottlenecks and improves hygiene. Throughput must meet or exceed your filler speed.

How to Choose

  • Throughput — bottles/min must match or exceed filler/capper line speed.
  • Bottle shape and size — round vs. oval/irregular; bowl and hardware sized to your container.
  • Material — plastic/non-fragile standard; glass needs specialized handling/depalletizer.
  • Changeover — tool-less adjust for multiple SKUs; 3–10 min typical.
  • Hygiene and build — stainless steel, GMP, optional air rinse and rejection system.

FAQ

Q: Why can't I just load bottles onto the conveyor by hand?
A: Manual loading caps your whole line at operator speed and ties up labor. An unscrambler delivers a steady upright, neck-leading stream at the front of the line, so your filler, capper and labeler run at full rated speed.

Q: Will it handle different bottle shapes and materials?
A: Round bottles are easiest; oval or irregular containers may need a different bowl or tooling. Standard units target plastic/non-fragile bottles — glass or fragile containers usually require a specialized depalletizer or gentle handling option.

Q: Need an unscrambler sized to your line?
A: Contact CECLE with your bottle shape, size and filler speed so we can recommend bowl size and throughput, plus lead time and a quote.
