Slat Rejector

The LS-3 Slat Rejection System provides the capabability to divert product from the production conveyor without product spillage due to missing caps or defective seals. Handles virtually any container type, shape or size.

LS-3 Slat Rejector

	Conveyor Chain Speeds: From 0 - 350 fpm. Top speed may vary due to the s stroke distance and container stability.
	Air Requirements: 70 - 120 psi
	Accumulation Chain Requirements: Refer to Installation Drawing 1-00473 or 1-00474 (Plan View) for more details.
	Container Shapes: Any.(Refer to Industrial Dynamics Installation Drawing 1-00473 or 1-00474 for more details.)
	Adjustable Stroke: Standard Stroke - From 3.5" at 350 ft/min. (89 mm at 107 m/min.) to 5.5" at 250 ft/min (140 mm at 76 m/min.) Long Stroke - From 5" at 250 ft/min. (127 27 mm at 76 m/min.) to 7" at 200 ft/min. (178 mm at 61 m/min.)
	Space Requirements: 1560 mm long x 300 mm deep
	Container Types: Glass, Metal, Paper Board, and Plastic
	Change Parts: No change parts are required for different container types or shapes.

	Automatic Oiler An automatic oiler lubricates all moving parts on a preprogrammed basis, reducing wear and subsequent maintenance downtime.
	Stronger and More Rugged Components Stronger and more rugged components have been utilized on the LS-3, making it more reliable and giving improved performance over long periods of time.
	Access Ports Access ports and unique alignment keys provide easy access to align internal components, thereby reducing maintenance downtime.
	Missing/Broken Slat Detector A Missing/Broken Slat Detector signals the operator when a slat is missing or has malfunctioned for any reason. This reduces the possibility of defective containers reaching the customer.
	Parabolic Reject Ramp A new custom designed parabolic reject ramp results in minimum acceleration during the rejection cycle. This ensures gentle handling of small and unstable containers.

The LS-3 Slat Rejection system is driven from the production conveyor chain, thus it will operate from full speed down to zero speed and still maintain synchronization with containers on the production line.

The LS-3 System can be utilized with Industrial Dynamics' Fill Level and Filler Monitor equipment.

The LS-3 can also function as a "stand alone" rejection system to be integrated with inspection systems from other companies. When utilized in this manner, it is controlled by the Free Standing Reject Controller.

The LS-3 Slat Rejector is a refined and updated version of the LS-1 and LS-2 systems which were originated by Industrial Dynamics in 1967. There are now over 1,000 of these units operating worldwide.

This system utilizes a continuous motion rejection sequence that is ideally suited to handle containers of any shape and size without change parts. These containers may be randomly spaced and run at variable rates on high speed production lines without affecting the performance of the system.

The LS-3 uses multiple slats that move parallel to and are synchronized with the production chain. When a container is to be rejected, a slat (or slats) adjacent to the faulty container is extended, gently pushing it off the production chain onto an adjacent takeaway chain (refer to Figure 2). This rejection method allows handling of all types of containers without product spillage from missing caps or missealed tops.
