Medication container singulator system and apparatus

A method for aggregating and sorting containers in a container singulator apparatus, the method comprising:

• receiving at least one container from a loading section;
• transporting the at least one container to a cleated belt by a belt support affixed to a main frame having a first end located adjacent to a loading section and a second end located a fixed distance from the loading section;
• transporting the at least one container by the cleated belt configured to move the at least one container from a first end located adjacent to the loading section to a second end located at the fixed distance from the loading section, the cleated belt having individual rows configured to receive containers from the loading section and hold the containers until the row of the cleated belt reaches the second end of the belt support, a width of each row configured to hold at least two containers in a horizontal orientation;
• orienting the at least one container on the cleated belt by a ramp positioned adjacent to a left side of the cleated belt, an end of the ramp positioned within or above the loading section;
• orienting the at least one container on the cleated belt by a divider positioned between the first end and the second end of the belt support, the divider configured to direct containers that are hanging over a side of the row to move onto the ramp;
• and
• orienting the at least one container on the cleated belt by a plate located between the first end and the second end of the belt support, a top end of the plate located adjacent to or below the divider, the plate positioned over the cleated belt and having an angled edge that increases in width from a bottom end to the top end, the width at the top end configured to enable a single container in the horizontal orientation to pass between the divider and the plate on the cleated belt.
