    • Plastic preforms(1) are fed to a sorting unit with a rotating table(55). Centrifugal force created by the table rotation forces preforms radially outwards to a guide rail(62). Preforms are then individually spaced at the outer edge(63) of the table prior to feeding to a blow molding machine. Preforms are pre-sorted between the center point(59) of the table and the second guide rail(62) by a first guide rail(58). From the central area(56) of the table preforms pass through an opening(60) in the first guide rail into the sorting area which is bordered by the second guide rail. Centrifuged preforms(1) become aligned along the perpendicular second guide rail located above the rotating table(55). During alignment the preforms enter a gap between the second rail and the table equal to at least their body diameter. The second rail provides support until an output area(66) is reached at the outer table edge(63). On reaching the outer edge preforms may be supported, e.g. by an additional rail(68). The second guide rail may alternatively follow a spiral path over at least part of its length. Separated preforms may be additionally guided by recesses around the outer edge of the table. Separation of preforms may also occur along a ring shaped separating system around the outer edge of the table and rotating at a different speed to the table. The separating ring is coupled to a drive unit of the blow molding machine(44) and links with the heating section of the blow molding machine. Prior to sorting preforms are stored in a container vertically above the sorting unit(45). An independent claim is made for the process equipment which has a rotating table(55) and adjacent fixed guide rails(58,62). A separating system at the outer edge(63) of the table spaces individual preforms prior to feeding to the blowing machine.
