Sorters

Sorters are among the most frequently used machines in aerosol filling lines. Different types of sorters are typically used in a production line, depending on the type of components that require sorting. Sorters enable precise selection and orientation of elements such as aerosol valves, spray heads, caps, and other components. After sorting, these elements are fed into filling modules or cap placers, where they are properly placed or affixed to aerosol containers, ensuring smooth and efficient production processes.

Magnetic Valve Sorter SMD-28

-

The Magnetic Valve Sorter SMD-28 is a device designed for the precise orientation, sorting, and feeding of aerosol valves with tubes and BOV to the filling line continuously.
Valves with tubes and BOV are transported from the input container through the sorting system and guides, then fed into a pneumatic ejector. The pneumatic ejector directs the oriented valves through the transport tube to the valve inserter, which is installed in Automatic Filling and Crimping Modules (AMR). The magnetic sorting system allows the use of only steel-body valves with tubes and BOVs. The sufficient quantity of aerosol valves in the sorter’s basket is automatically regulated by the integrated sensor system and valve elevator.
The sorter achieves a throughput of up to 100 units per minute, enabling fast and efficient sorting of valves in production lines.
Key Features:
  • Throughput up to 100 units/min
  • Precise sorting of valves with tubes and BOV and their transport to the filling line
  • Designed for steel body valves with tubes and BOV
  • Magnetic sorting system ensuring precise valve orientation
  • Integrated sensor system and the ability to integrate with the valve elevator

Bayonet Gas Valve Sorter SFK-50

+

The Bayonet Gas Valve Sorter SFK-50 is an advanced device designed for the precise sorting of bayonet gas valves with an “L”-shaped tube in aerosol filling lines. Bayonet valves, which are asymmetrical, present a challenge for many machine manufacturers as their irregular shape complicates proper sorting. Our device effectively addresses this issue, ensuring accurate positioning and transport of the valves to subsequent stages of production.
Bayonet valves are transported from the input hopper through a system of positioners and eliminators, which precisely orient the valves based on their shape. Thanks to this system, the device efficiently sorts valves with irregular shapes, ensuring smooth and efficient operation. The oriented valves are then transported via a chute to subsequent modules, such as Automatic Filling and Sealing Modules (AMR).
The SFK-50 sorter achieves a throughput of up to 60 units per minute, enabling fast and efficient sorting of bayonet valves in production lines.
Key Features:
  • Throughput up to 60 units/min
  • Precise sorting of bayonet valves with an “L”-shaped tube
  • Positioner and eliminator system ensuring precise valve orientation
  • Smooth operation ensured by minimum/maximum sensors

Magnetic PU and Threaded Gas Valve Sorter SOR-66

+

The Magnetic Valve Sorter SOR-66 is a device designed for the precise sorting and transport of threaded gas valves in aerosol filling lines. The device ensures a continuous sorting process, which is key to maintaining high production efficiency.

Valves are transported from the input reservoir through the sorting system and guides, then directed onto a chute where they are precisely oriented. The chute has minimum and maximum sensors that control the correct number of valves and ensure smooth operation. The valves are then transported to subsequent modules, such as Automatic Filling and Crimping Modules (AMR).

The magnetic sorting system ensures precise orientation of threaded gas valves, allowing them to be safely and accurately placed and subsequently crimped onto aerosol cans.

The SOR-66 sorter achieves a speed of over 60 units per minute, enabling fast and efficient valve sorting on any production line.

Key Features:

  • 60 units/min throughput
  • Precise sorting of threaded gas valves and PU valves
  • Magnetic sorting system ensuring accurate valve orientation
  • Smooth operation ensured by minimum/maximum sensors

Vibrating Sorters

+

The WIB-200 series vibratory sorters are designed for orienting, sorting, and continuously feeding a wide range of components, such as spray heads, applicators, valves, caps, atomizers, and other elements that cannot be effectively sorted using conventional methods. With vibratory technology, these devices provide precise sorting, which is crucial in production lines.
Each vibratory sorter is tailored to individual project needs and specifications, optimizing the sorting process based on the type of elements being sorted. The output capacity ranges from 20 to 60 units per minute, offering flexibility and versatility.
Sorting is carried out through vibrations with variable frequencies that precisely position the elements in the correct orientation. These elements can then be transported further, such as to mounting modules, where they are used in subsequent stages of production. The integrated sensor system and optional elevator ensure the appropriate quantity of elements in the sorting basket, ensuring smooth process flow and high efficiency.
Device Features:
  • Capacity: 20-60 units/min, depending on project and type of elements
  • Precise sorting of spray heads, applicators, valves, caps, atomizers, and other components
  • Integrated sensor system: ensures the appropriate quantity of elements in the sorting basket
  • Flexibility and versatility: customizable for different types of elements, including atomizers

Universal Valve Sorter SZP-555

+

The Universal Valve Sorter SZP-555 is designed for the precise sorting of valves with tubes and BOV, both steel and aluminum, in aerosol filling lines. Sorting is carried out through a mechanical-gravity mechanism in a continuous manner. It allows for sorting up to 60 units per minute.
The sorting basket, into which the valves are fed, features an inclined sorting wheel equipped with selecting blades. These blades guide the valves into special guides, ensuring precise alignment. The valves are then transported via a chute, and the aligned valves are pneumatically ejected into subsequent modules, such as Automatic Filling and Crimping Modules (AMR).
The sorter’s chute is equipped with a minimum/maximum sensor system, which monitors the appropriate amount of valves in the sorter and ensures smooth machine operation. These sensors maintain the proper valve supply, preventing both excess and shortage, ensuring continuous production flow.
Key Features:
  • Capacity up to 60 units/min
  • Precise sorting of steel and aluminum valves with tubes and BOV
  • Mechanical-gravity sorting mechanism
  • Inclined sorting wheel with selecting blades
  • Valve transport on a chute with pneumatic ejection
  • Minimum/maximum sensor system monitoring the valve stock in the sorter’s basket
  • Compatibility with Automatic Filling and Crimping Modules (AMR)

Cap Sorter SCZ-11

+

The Cap Sorter SCZ-11 with conveyor is used in aerosol production processes. The device is responsible for precisely orienting and transporting aerosol caps to the cap placer, ensuring proper placement on filled aerosol cans. The sorter can operate at a speed of up to 100 units per minute.
