主权项

1. A device for removing objects from a moving transport device having objects standing in a row thereon, comprising:
at least one removing line; a sensor determining if the objects are soiled or are no longer suitable for further processing; and a removing device for pushing and thus removing selected objects in a lateral direction with respect to a direction of travel of the transport device, the transport device being a conveyor, the removing device including a position-controlled linear actuator and a pusher to push the selected objects in the lateral direction from the conveyor onto the at least one removing line as a function of an input from the sensor, the at least one removing line including a first removing line returning the objects to a cleaning machine if the objects are soiled and a second removing line serving to collect all objects no longer suitable for further processing.
