New England Machinery recently introduced its latest model the NELIR, inline inspection rejection system. This system will automatically identify and eliminate containers on a production line that can cause jams or problems. The NELIR can detect down bottles, upside down bottles or misaligned bottles. Once detected the errant bottles are rejected using an air blower, diverter arm, or pusher cylinder to a table, collection bin or transferred to an existing removal system.
The unit is modular and self-contained. It can be easily mounted to a conveyor or, with an optional free-standing frame, it can slide up to an existing conveyor. Depending on the inspection requirements, the NELIR can use photo eyes, proximity switches, limit switches or a vision system. It can keep up with the production line speed and is adjustable for different line speeds up to 450 cpm (depending on container size and inspection requirements).
The benefit of the NELIR is the flexibility it provides to be able to immediately mount it anywhere on the line where potential problems can occur and/or move it around the production plant accordingly.
