PackFeeder of Barcelona have now launched a new concept in-line unscrambling system for plastic bottles onto the UK market.
The PackFeeder system allows the bottles to effectively unscramble themselves in linear transit through the machine, by utilising the centre of gravity of the container to gradually place it into a vertical position.
The new PackFeeder machine is compact and entirely mechanical in its' operation. No compressed air is required, reducing power and maintenance costs. Changeover for different bottle sizes is simple and quick with no tools required.
Recently appointed UK agents, F. Jahn & Co. Ltd., claim that the PackFeeder machine gives users a simple, efficient and cost-effective solution to the problem of transferring lightweight plastic bottles onto a continuously moving conveyor.

Managing Director - F. Jahn & Co. Ltd.
I graduated from Nottingham University in 1975 with a degree in Production Engineering and Production Management.
In 1977, I joined my father at F. Jahn & Co. Ltd., working initially in the After Sales side of the business. I transferred to the Sales Department in 1980, with responsibility for the marketing and sales of the range of canning equipment, HEMA fillers and also retorts from Barriquand STERIFLOW, who had recently appointed F. Jahn as their UK representatives.
Together with my father, then Sales Director, we purchased the company in 1990 from the Chairman and last remaining member of the Jahn family, Charles Jahn. In 1991, I took over the position of Managing Director and from that time have continued to oversee the development of the company and our portfolio of overseas suppliers.
