Unscrambling system for containers for the Pharma industry
The unscrambling system for containers is one of the most important elements in a company’s production line.
It is an unscrambler that streamlines the filling of bulk bottles and makes them go through the filling process.
The first big question to ask the manufacturing companies when suggesting a type of empty container unscramble is whether or not they have to work with pucks.
If so, you have to know if the Puck is a “loose puck” type or on the contrary, it is a “label puck”.
From here the unscramblers are divided between linear and rotary ones.
Rotary positioners, very popular in Europe, can be classified into systems with random movement of bottles (random) or pre-positioning systems for bottles.

We have recently supplied a rotary unscrambler to an international pharmaceutical company, specialists in dermatological products for the treatment, care, and beauty of the skin.
ROTRAK Rotary Unscrambler Pucks by Traktech
The bottle unscrambling machine supplied is our ROTRAK – 1300 model with 19 stations, with outlet with pucks and OL-180 linear orientator with vision camera.
Some of the most outstanding characteristics of this packaging positioner:
- Ideal for productions of up to 12,000 bottles per hour (BPH) with any type of format.
- It is a compact machine, whose selector and funnel are integrated in one piece.
- The format change is done in minutes, without the need for special tools.
- It is an efficient equipment that allows companies to save up to 40% of energy, thanks to the fact that it does not use compressed air, instead it incorporates a high pressure blower fan.

The installation consists of a feeding hopper that supplies the containers to an unscrambler prepared for pucks. It also incorporates a bottle orientator to feed the filler with the containers in the correct position.
Because the unscrambling system of the supplied machine is random, the filling efficiency of pucks is approximately 75-80%, so the pucks that come out empty will be recirculated by means of an intermediate “U” shaped conveyor and a gate system with brakes.
The supplied bottle unscrambler is prepared to position three types of bottles at a speed of 6000 BPH to 6600 BPH.
It is a machine that contributes to saving time and energy, low maintenance to avoid production stoppages and compact in terms of the space it occupies.
