The sorter for parisons (10) for blow-molding bottles comprises a turntable (4) fitted with a stationary curved guide rail (6). A stop rail (12) at the end of the guide rail rotates the parisons about their longitudinal axis and feeds them to radial blades (14, 15) which remove them from the turntable. Independent claims are included for: (A) plant comprising the sorter and a star wheel, to which the parisons are fed; and (B) a method for sorting parisons using the sorter.
