Eliminate Line Disruptions: Choosing the Right Down Bottle Reject System for Your Production

Down bottles can cause major disruptions in high-speed production environments, leading to line jams, inefficiencies, and wasted products. To keep your line running smoothly, you need a reliable solution that removes down bottles while allowing upright containers to move forward without interruption.

Why Choose Morrison’s Down Bottle Reject Systems?

Morrison offers both mechanical and pneumatic solutions tailored to your needs. Designed to optimize production flow, our systems use container geometry and strategic rail placement to seamlessly reject down bottles while keeping upright containers moving. This reduces manual intervention, minimizes downtime, and improves overall efficiency.

Which system is right for you? Let’s find the best fit for your line.

Mechanical Down Bottle Reject

A Low-Cost, Rail-Based Solution

If you need a straightforward, cost-effective way to automatically reject down bottles, Morrison’s Mechanical Down Bottle Reject System is the perfect solution. Designed to work solely with rail placement and container geometry, it operates without electricity, pneumatics, or extra operating costs.

Key Benefits:

No operating costs – purely mechanical system
Simple, rail-based design – relies on proper rail positioning
Quick changeover – accommodates various container sizes
Easy to retrofit – integrates into existing production lines

By aligning the rails strategically along the conveyor, this solution automatically knocks down bottles off the line while upright containers continue forward, providing efficiency without added complexity.

Pneumatic Down Bottle Reject

A Custom Solution for Unique Applications

For more complex applications, Morrison’s Pneumatic Down Bottle Reject System offers an advanced solution that seamlessly integrates with your line’s electrical and vision systems. This system is ideal for handling tricky container shapes, fragile products, or precise rejection requirements, helping to maintain smooth and efficient production.

Key Benefits:

Custom-tailored to your application
Uses vision-based technology for accuracy
Integrated electrical controls for precision rejection
Easily retrofits into existing setups

In this system, a vision sensor detects down bottles and activates a pneumatic actuator to remove them quickly without disrupting upright containers. This precise and adaptable solution is ideal for operations with strict quality control or unique packaging formats.Shape
