Quantum Linear Sorter

A conveyor-synchronized linear rejector that removes faulty bottles at high speed with a controlled side transfer instead of a hard impact.

What it does

QLS rejects faulty bottles by matching its movement to the conveyor. When the upstream inspection system calls for a reject, synchronized segments extend from the machine frame, contact the bottle around its most stable point and guide it sideways. After the bottle is clear, the segments return into the frame. The reject movement can be adapted to empty or filled containers so bottles stay upright instead of falling or taking extra damage.

In the line

The rejector can be supplied as part of an ENOS inspection package, for example after EBS, or as a stand-alone rejector connected to another system that identifies faulty bottles. It follows bottle flow on the conveyor and can be arranged for right- or left-hand production lines.

Built for controlled rejection

  • Controlled side transfer for bottles rejected by inspection
  • Gentle handling that keeps vertical bottles upright
  • Adaptable reject movement for different bottle sizes and fill states
  • Right- or left-hand line arrangement
  • Optional reject confirmation and accumulation handling when supplied as a complete rejection package

Variants

  • QLS 12 Compact model for controlled single-path rejection where available line space is tighter.
  • QLS 15 Longer model that gives a gradual, stable transfer for high-speed lines.
  • QLS 15-2 Dual-sorting model for applications that need two rejection or sorting paths instead of one side discharge.
  • H7 Stand-alone version for lines where the reject decision comes from another inspection system.
