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 propperly oriented is
deposited back into the Storage Hopper through the Reject
Shute.
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.
