Begin with the product and line duty: pack dimensions, weight, stability, maximum rate, belt speed, minimum pitch, inspection output and available space. Then define the reject destination, confirmation method and response to each critical fault. The guides below explain the choices without replacing a product trial or site-specific risk assessment.
A complete reject decision
From failed inspection to verified removal
A dependable reject station is a chain of linked decisions. Inspection identifies the failed product; tracking maintains its identity; the mechanism removes or diverts it; independent sensing confirms the outcome; and the controls respond if any critical stage is not completed.
These guides answer practical questions raised while planning new systems and retrofits. They cover additional reject mechanisms, flexible and rigid product formats, high-speed timing, PLC tracking, testing and food-line fail-safe considerations.
