Abstract

An apparatus for organizing containers in a centrifugal organizer apparatus is disclosed. The centrifugal organizer apparatus includes a centrifugal feeder, a tote dumper, and an exit ramp. The centrifugal feeder includes a conical diverter and an external wall adjacent to a circumference of the conical diverter. The centrifugal feeder is configured to rotate and create centrifugal force such that containers within the centrifugal feeder are directed to the external wall. The tote dumper includes at least one tote configured to release at least one container into the centrifugal feeder. The exit ramp is tangential to the external wall and is configured to allow the container under the centrifugal force to exit the centrifugal feeder.
