Orientation Systems

Whatever products your packaging line handles, the process of ensuring that each item is handled carefully from start to finish can be complex.

For any type of business, it is essential for their products to be packaged efficiently, without compromising on the quality of the end materials. Orientation systems improve productivity of packaging lines as they rotate items into the correct position for each part of the line.

Orientation systems are extremely advanced pieces of machinery, so whether you are packing boxes, cartons, bottles, tins or pouches there is a solution to transport the products efficiently and safely.

Our team at Packserve have assisted many business, in improving their packaging processes, using orientation systems as one of the main components of our packaging lines.

Types of orientation systems

As with any packaging machinery, our orientation systems have been designed to transport different product types. When you work with our team we will make a recommendation for an orientation system based on your products packaging method and packaging process, using our expert knowledge to integrate a solution that fully meets your requirements.

Product turning
Often the packaging process requires products to be rotated to different angles, this is where we would implement a simple product turning orientation system. Depending on the characteristics of the product the item can be rotated completely or to different angles that are required.

Starwheel
Ideal for packaging lines that require products to be reoriented and in some circumstances for products to be timed along the line. Our specialists will programme the Starwheel orientation system to carefully transport a range of products. This piece of kit can also be re-programmed once it has been integrated into a system and is also easily removable from a packaging line.

Powered twist
Using gentle transitions our powered twist orientation system is able to twist products whilst still moving them along the packaging line. Often utilised for bags, cartons and bottles this system is ideal for beverage companies that need bottles to be stood back up without increasing packaging time.

Gravity
Finally, our gravity orientation system is a simple solution for reorienting larger products (often cartons) from a laying down position to upright. Using different levels along the conveyor the roller slightly moves the carton and gravity makes it drop down into the correct positioning.
