Bottle Handling Equipment

About Bottle Handling Equipment:
One size does not fit all in bottling lines. Many bottles are tall, irregularly shaped, poorly balanced and generally unstable on a moving conveyor line.  The faster the conveyor line runs, even "good" bottles become more unstable. Instability and imprecise movement of containers means packaging downtime and lost profits.

Inline Filling Systems has mastered the "art" and science of precise container and bottle handling with many specialized designs of gating systems, gripper assemblies, timing screws, transporters, starwheels, etc.  This often overlooked expertise is what you get when you buy a packaging system from Inline Filling Systems, Inc.

Timing Screws
Maintain proper spacing between containers that like to jam together on a moving conveyor. Timing screws are often use for oval bottles in filling machines.

Starwheels
Keep the bottling line "choke fed" with no spaces between containers so that they remain upright even in high speed conveyor lines.

Motorized Belt Grippers
Often used to keep the container stable when transferred over "dead" spaces from one conveyor to another. The belt speeds are matched with the conveyor speeds so that the bottle's momentum is never disturbed.

Neck Grabbers
Grab the necks of tall bottles with narrow openings or large bottles with significant manufacturing variances. The necks are forced to line up equally spaced apart so that nozzles can find their way into the opening.

Gating Systems
Pneumatically controlled gates are adjustable on three axis with adjustable height stabilizing fingers. This ensures bottles are in the right place, standing up straight, and keeping the bottle steady during the filling process.
