Choosing the Right Reject System

Contaminant detection plays a critical role in food safety. However, the reject system performs an equally important task – removing food safety risks and preventing contaminated product from reaching consumers.

Fortress Technology offer a variety of reject systems customised to suit each production, application and food safety need, as well as processing plant configuration. Automated reject systems are recommended as they increase production uptime and ensure compliance with food safety programmes, including BRCGS, GFSI, SQF and FSSC.

The type of device used will depend on multiple factors, including pack size, weight and shape, whether the product is free-flowing or packaged, factory layout, size and floorspace, as well as line pitch, speed and belt width of the conveyor. Reject options range from Air Blast, Flap Gate, Belt Stop Alarm, Diverter, Drop-nose, Kicker and Heavy Duty Kicker reject systems to Bi-directional Sweep, Overhead Sweep, Retracting Belt, Reversing, and Lift Nose systems.
