YOUR PRODUCT PERFECTLY ALIGNED – THANKS TO MURTFELDT TURNING UNITS


We've got the trick - our customised turning units align your products during the production process and offer maximum individuality and flexibility for your production line layout. We don't make product turners off the shelf - we design and develop them in close collaboration with you. It doesn't matter whether you are turning glasses, cans, cups, bottles, moulded products or folding cartons. The shape of the item to be turned - be it bulbous, oval, square or asymmetrical - determines the size of the turner and the design of the internal contour.

  • Increased processing efficiency due to seamless inner contour compared to turners made from plate or segment construction
  • Easy assembly and disassembly possible without tools
  • Greater stability compared to rod or wire basket turners
  • High wear resistance reduces maintenance intervals and reinvestment costs
  • Excellent surface quality thanks to machine manufacturing – no post-grinding required


  • Easy to clean thanks to simple disassembly of the upper turner part; no accumulation of bacteria in hard-to-reach areas
  • Stainless steel connecting elements are durable and support hygienic requirements
  • Suitable for many product formats and rotation angles
  • Excellent sliding properties result in minimal backpressure

Versatile applications

In almost all areas where unit goods are produced, processed, and packaged, they are a key component of the production process. Product turners play an important role in emptying, filling, cleaning, mixing, sealing, inspecting, printing, and many other process steps.

Our design supports any rotation angle between 0 and 360 degrees, with either clockwise or counterclockwise rotation.

Unique design

MURTFELDT typically manufactures block and screw turners on 5-axis CNC machines. The technical and high-performance material used for this have been known for decades for their quality. Machining is used as the production process, as it enables particularly smooth and low-friction surfaces. These surfaces allow gentle handling of the products being turned.

Flexible mounting options

The product turners offer a wide range of mounting variations to integrate seamlessly into your production line. They can be installed horizontally on a continuous conveyor belt or positioned between two conveyors. For products that cannot be accumulated, we recommend mounting with a downward slope to ensure precise alignment for reliable downstream processing. The required mounting brackets can be ordered directly from us.

Types of our turners

MURTFELDT manufactures product turners with any desired rotation angle, which can be used in virtually every stage of production and processing. Discover our most popular designs:

Turning and separating

It is often necessary not only to turn products, but also to separate or group them — for example, before packaging. In such cases, it makes sense to combine both tasks into a single process step. Our high-quality plastic screws are designed to fulfill this function, individually tailored to your product.

Two-piece design

A two-piece product turner offers numerous advantages over multi-part constructions — especially in areas with high hygiene and efficiency requirements, such as the food or pharmaceutical industries. The simplified structure with only two components significantly reduces the number of joints and transitions where dirt or bacteria could accumulate. This greatly facilitates cleaning and ensures a more hygienic overall solution.

HIGH-FREQUENCY USAGE

MURTFELDT turners are also perfectly suited for environments with high operating speeds.

About our materials To the shop

The future is hybrid.

We believe in combining manufacturing methods to create smart solutions that precisely meet our customers' needs. For example, with our product turners, significant weight can be saved — if the intended application allows — by 3D printing the turner and then finishing it with mechanical processing.
