Flamboro Technical Services offers a variety of options for lid unscramblers and de-nesters. Our unscramblers are capable of sorting and orienting lids of various shapes, such as round and non-round, and various sizes of lids. Designed for 100% wash down, they are constructed from stainless steel and plastics, ensuring durability and ease of cleaning. These systems are user-friendly, self-contained units, utilizing internal electrical controls to regulate their start and stop functions, ensuring proper feed control to the downstream systems and allowing a variety of production needs to be accommodated. Users simply load lids into the hopper, and the system manages the carrying, sorting, and orienting of the lids for application to your packaging downstream.
We offer several models of unscramblers, each with unique features. Each of these models is tailored to meet specific needs in lid handling and packaging processes.
This compact unscrambler is designed for sorting and orienting round lids. It utilizes gravity and mechanical adjustments to achieve this. The model also features a manual discharge gate, which helps in singulating the lids as they exit the machine.
An advanced version of the 16-075, this compact unscrambler is also for round lids but is taller and includes several design upgrades. It features a photo-electrical backward lid detection system and uses pneumatic blow-off for lid orientation. Additionally, it has an automatic discharge gate assembly, enhancing automation and user interface.
This model is specifically designed for non-round lids. Like the 16-075-TB, it uses a photo-electrical backward lid detection system and pneumatic blow-off for sorting and orienting lids. It also includes an automatic discharge gate assembly, facilitating automation and ease of operation.

In a fast-paced packaging environment, the right unscrambling solution can make all the difference. FTS’s lid unscramblers stand out in the industry, not just for their robust design but for their commitment to precision, efficiency, and reliability. Here’s why choosing FTS is the smart decision.
FTS’s unscramblers are meticulously engineered to provide optimal lid orientation every single time. Our designs, rooted in extensive industry experience, ensure that lids are conveyed from bulk hoppers and sorted in the most efficient manner, reducing waste and optimizing the flow to your packaging line.
Our unscramblers come equipped with easy-to-use control mechanisms, allowing operators to adjust speeds as production needs change. With a single start-stop button and a photo eye that automates operational decisions, our unscramblers are as user-friendly as they are efficient, making them an indispensable asset to your facility.
“FTS consistently delivers a high quality product while maintaining the flexibility for a quick response required by our business.”
The FTS lid unscrambler is designed to convey lids from a bulk hopper, sorting them as they travel vertically. It ensures lids are oriented correctly, with improperly oriented lids cascading back to the hopper for re-sorting. Once sorted, the lids are aligned in a single-file format, ready to be conveyed to the packaging filling line.
Absolutely! Our unscramblers are driven by a 230-volt, wash-down gearbox controlled by a VFD (Variable Frequency Drive). This allows for easy speed adjustments to perfectly align with your production requirements.
Yes, our unscramblers are 100% wash-down compliant. Every component of our unscrambler design meets both FDA and CFIA standards, ensuring the utmost cleanliness and adherence to regulatory benchmarks.
Lids that are not oriented correctly as they travel upward will cascade off the conveyor belt and return to the hopper. This design ensures that only properly oriented lids continue on the conveyor to the packaging filling line.
The operation of our lid unscrambler is straightforward. With a single start-stop button and an automated photo eye, the unscrambler can determine when to operate based on the production line’s needs. This user-friendly design ensures minimal training and easy integration into existing processes.
