ABSTRACT:
An inspection apparatus scans the object being sorted and produces a reject signal for rejecting an unwanted object. In the sorting of produce culls (spoiled green or overripe produce) are rejected. The rejector system employs a piston-driven rejector for removing the culls or unwanted object. An air cylinder provides air under pressure to drive the piston. A valve selectively applies from the cylinder in response to the reject signals. A flow restrictor is placed in the air supply line for controlling the acceleration and velocity of the air-driven piston.
