Nutraceutical Down Bottle Reject

Customer Container Handling Challenge 

A Morrison customer needed a solution for pushing bottles down their production line. The customer found that many of their bottles were falling over to their side on their line, causing jams and increasing downtime to reorient the containers. Before the customer was removing these down bottles by hand, proving to be a long and mundane task. Wanting to automate this task, Morrison sought to save the customer time and money with an automated process.

Morrison Solution 

To solve this container handling challenge, Morrison implemented a down bottle reject system—a non-invasive retrofit for your existing production line. This system safely guides bottles through, ejecting downed bottles out the side while allowing upright bottles to continue smoothly down the line. Our reject systems have proven effective at rejecting glass bottles at high speeds without causing any damage to the products.

To address this container handling challenge Morrison implemented a down bottle reject system. A non-invasive retrofit to your already existing production line. This reject system leads the bottles into it, then safely ejects downed bottles out the side while upright bottles continue down the line. Our reject systems have successfully rejected glass bottles at high speeds without causing damage to the products.

Construction 

The system was created from UHMW plastic that is food-safe and stainless steel. This construction solution provides a highly robust yet lightweight design.

Morrison’s down bottle reject system led to increased efficiency by significantly reducing the downtime to manually reject fallen bottles, streamlining the customer’s production process. The retrofit solution greatly increased the customer throughput while reducing downtime. This system met the expectations of the customer and the strict standards of the pharmaceutical industry.
