Abstract

See full text

A singulation apparatus for preforms, including a device for eliminating mispositioned preforms. The singulation apparatus is designed as a roll-type sorting apparatus that has two conveyor rolls which rotate about parallel axes of rotation, define a common conveying plane, and convey the preforms between the conveying rolls in a direction of travel. The device for eliminating mispositioned preforms is a kick wheel that rotates about an axis of rotation, has a lateral direction of ejection, and meshes with an elimination region above correctly positioned preforms. The kick wheel is concentric with the conveyor rolls and is arranged at a vertical distance above the conveying plane, the axis of rotation of the kick wheel extending substantially in the vertical direction and being inclined by an angle >0° relative to the position extending perpendicular to the conveying plane
