Waterfall Sorter, or Waterfall Cap Sorter, Cap Sorting Systems
The Waterfall Sorter sorts the caps and applies the caps to the bottles all in one packaging assembly. It sorts and elevates the caps from floor level then applies the caps to the bottles with a chute.
The basic function of the Waterfall Sorter is to orient a bottle closure and discharge it to a transfer system – generally a chute. Closures are trickled through a hopper onto a horizontal section of cleated belt. Oriented closures continue to travel up the elevator to where they are pushed and stripped sideways off of the cleated belt into a discharge area. From here the caps are transferred by a chute to where they are applied to a container.
*** Waterfall Sorter is LOADED from the FLOOR LEVEL. ***
This feature can greatly reduce your employee’s risk of falling off of a ladder, climbing a platform and loading the sorter from awkward angles and straining their backs while carrying the boxes up a ladder, improving productivity as well as help reduce labor cost.
