Ribaltino nimax

The most effective solution for rotating products on the production line


The nimax Ribaltino is the simple, effective and economical solution for all those applications where rotating products on the production line is required. It can rotate objects of different shapes and materials: bottles, jars, containers, in glass or PET, cans, flasks or cups.

The Ribaltino is a simple and effective system for rotating products travelling along a conveyor belt, even at high speed.
It is a sort of “three-dimensional guide”, shaped according to the form of the product to be rotated and the rotation angle required. Rotation is produced by the thrust exerted by the objects on the conveyor belt.

The shape and material of the objects to be rotated are not in themselves a limitation: bottles, jars, containers, in glass or PET, tinplate cans, flasks, cups, etc. Containers may be open or closed, empty or full, depending on the purpose of the application.

The Ribaltino is the simple, effective and economical solution for all those applications where rotating products on the production line is required. Product rotation may be needed at various stages of the production process, right through to final packaging.

Description

Installing the Ribaltino and any format changeover require no structural work on the line. It is enough to fix the Ribaltino about one millimetre from the conveyor belt, align the infeed and outfeed guides, and then let the products through. As well as on belts, the Ribaltino can also be installed on fixed plates. In every case, installation only requires fitting two mounting brackets, available on request from nimax.

The Ribaltino offers many advantages over systems based on helical steel guides: friction is lower, dimensions are compact, and installation — above all format changeover — is extremely simple.

The Ribaltino is made up of a set of high-density polyethylene sheets, a material that stands out for its extremely low friction and high resistance to abrasion. The screws and other assembly components are stainless steel or non-oxidising material. The material and construction characteristics guarantee high shape stability and allow wide tolerances in the dimensions of the objects to be rotated. These characteristics make the Ribaltino an extremely durable device in the most demanding industrial environments.

One of the most requested applications is turning products on the line, through 90° or 180°, to carry out coding, washing, rinsing and blow-drying operations.

FAQ

What types of products can be rotated using the Ribaltino?

The Ribaltino is designed to rotate a wide variety of containers and products, including bottles, jars, pots, cans, flasks, and cups made of glass, PET, or other materials. It can handle open or closed, empty or filled containers, making it suitable for a wide range of production processes.

How does the Ribaltino work?

The Ribaltino is a custom-designed three-dimensional guide shaped according to the product geometry and the required rotation angle. Product rotation is achieved by the natural pushing force generated by the items moving along the conveyor belt, eliminating the need for motors or dedicated rotating mechanisms.

What applications is the Ribaltino best suited for?

The Ribaltino is ideal for production lines where products need to be oriented or rotated during processing, from filling and labeling to final packaging. Thanks to its simple design, it provides a reliable, cost-effective solution that is also suitable for high-speed conveyor lines.
