Process Description
- The operator pours empty containers into the feed hopper. The feed hopper is equipped with a sensor that detects the fill level of the containers inside. When the fill level in the feed hopper is low, the machine emits an optical and acoustic signal to inform the operator. The container feed hopper is connected to a bucket elevator in the lower area.
- The conveyor transfers empty containers to the orientation bowl. The orientation bowl orients the containers and transfers them into the belt system. The belt system performs the final orientation of the containers and loads them onto outfeed conveyor.
