The sorter can be used as an option for AMATA checkweighers equipped with a metal detector.
In the event that the measured weight value does not match the allowable settings, as well as in the case of metal detection in the product, the control system sends a signal to the rejection installation, and the defective object from the discharge conveyor moves to the rejection zone. In this case, a product that does not correspond in weight, and a product in which a metal is found, are rejected separately.
This prevents further movement of the defective product along the production line.
The design of the sorter depends on the product. It can be made in the form of pneumatic pushers, rotating blades, shifting conveyors and so on.
Equipment AMATA can be equipped with a sorter of any type: flipper, pusher or dropper.
