Turntable Manufacturer & Supplier In Great Britain

In automated pharmaceutical and packaging operations, smooth container flow is essential for maintaining productivity and preventing costly line stoppages. A Turntable plays a vital supporting role by acting as a buffer, accumulator, and directional transfer unit within a production line.

Across Great Britain’s manufacturing landscape, including packaging and pharmaceutical facilities in the Midlands, Greater Manchester, West Yorkshire, and the South-East, turntables are routinely used to stabilise filling, capping, labelling, and inspection lines. Engineered by Technogen Enterprise, these turntables are designed for reliability, hygienic operation, and seamless integration into modern production environments.

What Is a Turntable?

A Turntable is a rotary container handling machine used to collect, feed, or discharge round containers such as vials, bottles, and jars. Installed at the infeed or outfeed of a machine, it enables continuous movement of containers while absorbing short-term stoppages elsewhere in the line.

Turntables are commonly used in:

• Powder filling lines

• Liquid filling lines

• Tablet and capsule bottling lines

They also allow production lines to be configured in linear, L-shaped, or U-shaped layouts, offering valuable flexibility where floor space is constrained.

Working Principle of the Turntable

The operating concept is simple, robust, and highly effective:

1. Container Transfer
   Containers arrive from an upstream machine onto the rotating disc.

2. Rotational Accumulation
   The rotating surface gently accumulates containers without scuffing or tipping.

3. Guided Discharge
   Adjustable canals guide containers toward the discharge point at a controlled rate.

4. Speed Synchronisation
   Rotation speed is controlled through a variable frequency drive to match downstream equipment.

5. Buffer Functionality
   If downstream equipment stops, the turntable continues accumulating containers, preventing upstream shutdown.

This ensures continuous, shock-free operation across the line.
