Controlled removal of failures

Reject systems for failed label inspections

Track every failed pack from the inspection point and remove or contain it using a reject method suited to the product and line.

UK project engineering Sample trials available Integration and support
Pneumatic reject pusher diverting a failed labelled pack
Detection to containment

A complete reject sequence

The controller associates the inspection result with the physical pack, tracks it to the reject point and confirms the expected action. The design accounts for pack speed, spacing, stability, weight and the consequence of a missed reject.

  • Pack tracking between camera and reject
  • Reject actuation timed to line movement
  • Reject confirmation and fault handling
  • Secure collection and bin-level options
Reject methods

Match the device to the product

01

Pneumatic pusher

Positive lateral removal for stable products with suitable spacing.

02

Air blast

Fast non-contact diversion for light products where containment is controlled.

03

Drop flap or retract belt

Downward removal for unstable or difficult-to-push formats.

04

Line stop and alarm

Controlled intervention where automatic removal is unsuitable.

Fail-safe options

Design around the consequence of failure

Higher-risk applications can add assurance beyond a basic reject output.

✓

Reject confirmation

A sensor confirms the failed product passed into the reject route.

✓

Bin-full monitoring

Production is alerted before containment capacity is lost.

✓

Air-pressure monitoring

Pneumatic health is supervised where loss of pressure would defeat the reject.

✓

Locked reject collection

Access-controlled containment supports controlled disposition of failures.
