Used Posimat Bottle Orienter - Year 2021 Technical Specifications and Performance Data This POSIFLEX-A-20 bottle orienter is a proven solution for highly efficient bottle handling at the beginning of a used bottling line. Manufactured by Posimat, it is designed to reliably orient and feed empty bottles to downstream industrial packaging equipment, supporting beverage production environments that require consistent availability and gentle container handling. Manufacturer: Posimat Model/Type: POSIFLEX-A-20 Year of Production: 2021 Production Speed: Up to 100 bpm (bottles per minute) Application: Automatic bottle orienting and feeding onto conveyors Compliance: CE marking; Designed according to 2006/42/EC (Machinery), 2014/30/EC (EMC), 2014/35/EC (Low Voltage) Container Handling: Optimized for bottle feeding in beverage production lines Use: Ideal for repurposing and retrofitting existing layouts of used bottling lines Advanced Automation and Control Systems The POSIFLEX-A-20 is designed for automated operation with coordinated control of the hopper, orientation system, and discharge. Operators benefit from intuitive control interfaces and precise speed adjustment to align with downstream equipment, improving changeover efficiency and minimizing downtime. Integrated control panel for speed and function management Automatic bottle orientation with high repeatability Sensor-based jam detection and bottle flow monitoring Recipe-compatible settings for quick format adaptation Designed for continuous operation in industrial packaging environments Production line integration capability This orientor integrates seamlessly at the start of a beverage production line, feeding bottles onto overhead conveyors or tabletop conveyors leading to rinsing, filling, closing, and labeling machines. It supports standalone or in-line operation and can be configured to accommodate a wide range of bottle sizes Compatible with standard conveyor interfaces Flexible layout options for compact or extended lines Format changeover capability for different bottle heights and diameters Suitable for integration into water, juice, wine, beer, and general beverage production processes Machine condition and maintenance history Built in 2021, this pre-owned unit features a modern service life and is offered in ready-to-use condition. Its contemporary engineering and CE-compliant construction make it a strong candidate for plants looking to expand or modernize their existing bottling line with minimal risk and reduced commissioning time. Operational Performance and Versatility Designed for stable performance up to 100 bpm, the POSIFLEX-A-20 provides gentle bottle handling, consistent orientation, and smooth discharge onto conveyors. This improves downstream efficiency by reducing underfeed or blocked conditions at washes, fillers, and labelers, improving the line's overall OEE. Gentle handling for lightweight bottles Consistent bottle orientation for reliable downstream processing Designed for 24/7 packaging operations Scalable performance to synchronize with different line speeds Installation and Site Preparation Requirements The machine is designed for simple installation with standard utility connections. Proper site preparation ensures optimal performance and operator access.
