Heuft container rejector for beverage and food industries

Ensure flawless product flow by efficiently removing faulty or non-brand containers before they reach subsequent production stages, optimizing quality control in high-speed beverage, food, and pharmaceutical lines.

Rejects and Sorts Containers with Precision

HEUFT SYSTEMTECHNIK’s range of container rejectors, including the HEUFT pusher, mono, e-mono, flip, DELTA-FW, DELTA-K, and XY models, are designed to ensure precision in rejecting and sorting processes for high-speed production lines. These rejectors effectively remove faulty containers, ensuring only quality products proceed, crucial for maintaining standards in beverage, food, and pharmaceutical manufacturing.

HEUFT rejectors use segments that adapt swiftly to different container types and weights, ensuring accurate sorting without disrupting the flow. Their single-segment rejectors, like the HEUFT pusher, handle up to 130,000 containers per hour, ideal for high-speed canning lines. The e-mono offers an energy-efficient alternative, operating pneumatically-free with adaptive force controls, reaching throughput of up to 180,000 containers per hour.

For larger tasks, the multi-segment models such as the DELTA-FW and DELTA-K allow precise rejection and distribution. The DELTA-FW’s intelligent segment control ensures no disruption to subsequent good containers, functioning optimally at outputs reaching 150,000 containers per hour. The XY model specializes in distributing and sorting PET and glass containers without altering alignment, suitable for PET lines up to 36,000 and glass lines up to 60,000 containers per hour.

These systems support seamless integration into existing production lines, facilitated by automated control systems, minimizing downtime for maintenance with their efficient design. HEUFT’s robust construction options cater to various operational environments, contributing to comprehensive production line efficiency.
