Unscrambling Accumulation Collection Rotary Feeding Tables

Rotary tables are the most cost-effective way to automate the feeding and

accumulation ofbottles can be used to collect or distribute bottles at the

beginning, middle, or end ofa bottle packaging line.

At thebeginningofabottle packaging line allows operators to quickly place the

table with large quantities ofempty bottles rather than feed bottles onto a

conveyor one byone manually. The rotary table then automatically discharges the

bottles onto the conveyor in a single file line.

In the middle of a packaging line allow you to deal with production bottlenecks

and service issues.lt is helpful to maintain production lines running, a typica

example would be adding one of the tables in front of a labeler so when you need

to replace thelabel rollyou can keep running your bottle filler and capping

machine. Since the labeling machine is stopped the bottles will accumulate and

once itstarts backup ifthe machine can run faster than the filler and capper it wil

abethe bottles from the table as well as the ones from the production lines.

At the end of a bottle packaging line serve a critical purpose. They provide an

outletfor the finished product to collect in preparation for packing and prevent

the bottlesfrom backingup and slowing down your entire bottle packaging line.

In-feed tables, also called pack-offtables, are a popular option for end of the line

accumulation tables because they enable operators to quickly and easily remove

finished product from the rotary table. Having accumulation tables at the end of

the botting line is required unless you have a case packer or other means to

automatically handle the containers finishing the production process. Normally al

production lineshave this tables and the few that don't quickly realize that they

need it since any distraction, bathroom break or physical exhaustion will cause the

whole bottling line to stop instead of simply accumulating bottles.
