Abstract (en)
[origin: US4754881A] Apparatus for classifying elongated tablets, pills and similar objects according to their lengths has a rotary wheel-shaped conveyor with a peripheral groove which receives a succession of objects and advances them past a testing station where the objects are monitored by an optical reflection type detector which generates signals denoting the lengths of the objects. Such signals are used to expel by jets of compressed air those objects whose lengths are unsatisfactory ahead of the location where satisfactory objects leave the groove by gravity. The objects which approach and move past the testing station are attracted to the conveyor by suction.
