SORT-RAIL
Generalities
It is an automatic orienter particularly suitable for compatible Nespresso and similar coffee capsules or objects that have a collar, such as preforms.
It consists of a collection tank, a brush elevator, a track orientation unit, and a multi-track ventilated air or brush conveyor. The machine is equipped with a PLC to control all functions, and the materials are all certified for food use. As mentioned orientation is on tracks, up to sixteen or more if required.
Accessibility is excellent and the layout very compact as the collection tank is placed under the machine, plus the elevator is vertical with minimal floor space occupancy.
With brush technology, we have oriented very delicate products that underwent breakage and deformation with other systems. The flow rate varies according to the number of tracks, reaching well over 500 pieces/min.

Frequently asked questions
Toggle title
These are machines that use technical brushes in their production process.
What are the main types of brush machines?
Dedusters, orienters, elevators, conveyors.
What are the advantages of this type of machine?
Industrial brushes are characterized by great adaptability to surfaces, great flexibility of use, and virtually unlimited variety of shapes and hardness. Therefore, the use of brushes in machines succeeds in being very efficient in many industrial processes.
In particular, dust collectors with brushes are more efficient than traditional non-contact dust collectors, while in the case of orienters, brushes replace other techniques (compressed air, vibration, etc.) managing to treat parts with low energy consumption, gently and quietly. The small footprint is another important advantage.
Can the brushes contained in the machines cause product contamination through filament loss?
It can happen only if the brush is damaged due to an unforeseeable cause, such as a defective product that enters the machine and gets stuck in the brush destroying it, as on the other hand can happen with any other type of part in the machine. It should be mentioned that the same type of brush is currently used in pharmaceuticals and food without any problems.
Are your machines economically competitive?
Speaking of dust collectors, they are definitely cheaper than the main competitors.
As far as the orienters are concerned, they are aligned, but when looking at energy and space savings they are also more advantageous.
How often should the brushes be replaced?
There is no one answer, as this time depends on many factors, such as product speed, materials, pressure, shifts, etc. As a broad indication, it can be said that a set of brushes can last between one and two years, sometimes longer.
