Robotic Bottle Unscrambler and Sorter

The KWT Robotic Bottle Unscrambler and Sorter automates bottle handling using SCARA robots and a vision system, replacing manual unscrambling.

How it works

A robotic bottle unscrambler uses vision-guided robot arms to pick randomly presented bottles, orient them, and feed them in line to the next stage of the packaging process. It integrates with conveyors, fillers, and cappers in the production workflow.

Key advantages

Precision: Vision systems position bottles accurately throughout the process.
Versatility: Accommodates diverse packaging specifications, from PET bottles for soft drinks to glass containers for sauces.
Integration: Works with existing conveyors, fillers, and cappers.
Adaptability: Reprogramming allows changes between bottle types or production demands without disruption.
Labour efficiency: Automates bottle handling, reducing reliance on manual labour.

Industries served

Beverage: Bottling for soft drinks, juices, water, and alcoholic beverages.
Pharmaceutical: Handling of medication bottles, vials, and containers in line with regulatory requirements.
Food: Condiments, cooking oils, and similar products.
