This Inserter is constructed so that the customer’s existing conveyor passes through the NEM Spout Inserter. The feedscrew accepts containers in single file from the customer’s constant speed, non-stopping and continuous motion conveyor. Containers are fed from a backlog of bottles, through the feedscrew, then transferred to the infeed starwheel and into a rotary turret.

The pour spouts are initially delivered to a bulk supply hopper from which they are transported, by elevator, to the spout sorter bowl. The spouts exit the bowl in a straight line to the final orienter. From there they travel down a feed chute to the spout starwheel. At the pickup point, the spouts are transferred to the spindle mandrel heads. The heads rotate the spouts until they are properly oriented, then lowers them for insertion into the containers. To ensure a proper supply of pour spouts, an electric eye controls the automatic feed to the sorter. The high level / low level electric eyes on the chute control the feed. The container, with spout in place, is transferred into the discharge starwheel for release back onto the customer’s conveyor for transport to the capper, filler or labeler.
