Turn to Innovation: The Non-Powered Starwheel Bottle Turner

Turning containers on a production line for your downstream applications can present many challenges. From slow and costly manual labor to needing repetitive positioning, this is a key application where automation can solve your problems.

Rather than submitting to decreased profits and slow production speeds, you can implement a simple, yet effective mechanical solution: the Non-Powered Starwheel Bottle Turner. This mechanical device uses Morrison change parts to mount onto a conveyor, turning containers efficiently with the help of backlog and bottle pressure. Designed to increase production capacity, repeatability, and reliability without the need for expensive powered interventions, the Non-Powered Starwheel Bottle Turner represents a leap forward in this ongoing quest, offering a simple yet effective solution.

Key Benefits

• Cost-Effective: This solution is significantly more affordable than its powered counterparts.
• Labor-Saving: Automating the container turning process help decrease labor cost, speed up production, and allow you to move your employees where they are needed most on the line.
• Flexible and Adaptable: Can be easily retrofitted to most existing line layouts and adjusted for different container sizes or turning configurations.
• Durable and Low-Maintenance: This solution is crafted with high-quality UHMW material and designed with minimal parts to reduce wear and tear.

Positioning for the Future

This solution not only addresses the immediate challenges of manual labor and high costs but also positions manufacturers for growth and adaptability in an ever-changing market. The non-powered turner is built on Morrison’s core plate and guide system so if you are running multiple containers or turning configurations on the same lane, you can simply change out the guides to accommodate the new operation or container size.

Handling high-speed operations?

No problem, our turning screws are designed to tackle more complex applications that require more positive control of your containers. For example, maybe you are running at 500 containers per minute, and you need to turn your container narrow side leading for a filling process downstream. Utilizing a timing screw drive unit with turning screws would allow you to overcome this challenge.
