Turner/divider reject system

摘要

A turner/divider system for turning and separating or dividing a flow of product packages from a packaging machine that includes a turning section and a dividing section. A series of guide tracks extend along the turning section and guide a series of slats on which the product packages are being conveyed laterally across their path of travel so as to cause rotation or turning of the product packages. A reject system further monitors the incoming product packages moving along the turning section and causes rejected product packages to be diverted to a reject lane while non-rejected packages proceed along the turning section for turning. The turned product packages are then separated into a series of lanes as they are moved along the divider station.
