Overview

Our Preform Orienter is an efficient highly automized preform orienting system. The six components work together to handle your Preform Material and provide you with a flawless operation.

These components are :

Summary

The Gaylord Dumper deposits the Preform in the Storage Hopper. The Loading Conveyor then carries the Preform into the Orienter. Finally, the oriented material travels through the Neck Guide and is fed out by the Singulator into the Blower, Quality or any type of Preform Machine for its further processing.

PREFORM RECEPTION in the STORAGE HOPPER

The Gaylord Dumper works pneumatically and is equipped with electrical controls that allow its operation. The main function of the Gaylord Dumper is to deposit the Perform into the Storage Hopper. Once the Gaylord is in position and secured to the Dumper, the operator can easily turn over the content into the Gaylord.

ELEVATING or LOADING Conveyor

The Elevating or Loading Conveyor features a control panel that allows variable speeds. Speed Variability is crucial for the proper working of the system as it allows control over the amount of Preform being fed into the Orienter.

The Loading Conveyor is an 18" wide PREMIER conveyor with a caliber 12 steel body, featuring 4" stainless steel side rails, and a stainless steel cover to ensure hygienic Preform handling. Included is an intralox food grade belt with 2" cleats spaced every 9 inches. The featured control panel allows variable speeds ranging from 0 to 100 feet per minute.

ORIENTER

The Orienter is the heart of the ORIENTEC System. It consists of a Stainless Steel Hoper with two 3.5 meter long and 3.5" wide Stainless Steel Rollers at its bottom, which are constantly turning in opposite directions (outward rotation from 800 rpm to 1000 rpm). The Orienter receives the material from the Loading Conveyor. The constant turning of the Rollers plus the degree of inclination of the Orienter causes the Preform to place itself vertically. The Rollers can be adjusted to different speeds and openings depending on the dimensions of the Preform being processed.

Preform that is not properly oriented is deposited back into the Storage Hopper through the Reject Chute.

The Orienter is equipped with sensors to prevent preform overflow inside the rollers.

NECK GUIDE

The Neck Guide consists of a high density polyurethane guide made of low friction UHMW guides, with Stainless Steel interior, through which the preform slide down by gravity from the Orienter into the Singulator. The Neck Guide opening and inclination angle are adjustable to the size and type of preform being processed.

SINGULATOR

The Singulator feeds the machine at the output of the ORIENTEC System. The preform can be delivered and separated at different speeds by adjusting the Singulator's CD Drive Speed.
