Conveyors & Direction Changes
For connecting stations, changing direction or adding controlled transfer space along a packaging line.
PACKAGING LINE HANDLING
Bottle Conveyors, Turntables & Unscramblers
Connect compatible filling, capping and labeling equipment with a handling route built around your package format, line layout and required output.
LINE FLOW
Keep Containers Moving Between Packaging Stations
Use the handling equipment that matches your container, layout and point in the packaging process.
Conveyors and turntables do more than move products. They create a stable handoff between filling, capping, labeling and downstream packing equipment. A suitable arrangement helps maintain spacing, direction and accessible working flow without treating every project as a complete production line.
ENGINEERING START POINTDefine the package, transfer route and connected machines before selecting a conveyor or turntable.
For bottles, jars and selected pouches, the line layout determines the appropriate handling method.
EQUIPMENT PATHS
Choose by the Handling Task
Three practical routes for moving, orienting or buffering compatible packaging.
Turntables & Accumulation
For feeding, collecting or temporarily buffering bottles, jars and selected packaged pouches.
Bottle Unscrambling
For arranging compatible empty bottles before they enter a filling, capping or labeling process.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Conveyor, Turntable & Unscrambler FAQs
Key questions before specifying packaging-line handling equipment.
When do I need a turntable instead of a straight conveyor?
Choose a turntable when the line needs upright-bottle infeed, outfeed collection or temporary accumulation; use a conveyor for controlled transfer between stations. A standard turntable normally requires upright manual loading and does not automatically orient randomly piled bottles.
Can one conveyor connect filling, capping and labeling machines?
Often yes, when the package format, conveyor height, speed range and line layout are compatible with each connected station. Confirm guide adjustment, transfer gaps, sensors and stop logic so a downstream stoppage does not create unstable back pressure.
Do bottle unscramblers work with every bottle shape?
No. Bottle material, shape, base stability and orientation requirement determine the suitable unscrambler configuration.
Do I need to send a sample before choosing handling equipment?
For standard containers, dimensions and clear photos are often enough for an initial recommendation. Samples are useful for non-standard shapes, unstable packages or custom line integration.
How much accumulation capacity do I need?
As an initial estimate, multiply the downstream rate in containers per minute by the desired buffer time in minutes. For example, 30 containers per minute and a two-minute buffer require space for about 60 containers. Confirm usable capacity, container stability and recovery behavior with the actual pack.
