Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2019136503A1] The invention relates to a device (1, 15, 17) for ejecting bad products (2a, 2b) from a product stream (3), comprising a detection unit (5, 5a, 5b), which is designed to detect the product stream (3), and a computer unit (6), which is designed to obtain characteristic data of the product stream (3) from the detection unit (5, 5a, 5b) and to thereby detect bad products (2a, 2b) in the product stream (3). The device (1, 15, 17) according to the invention has a compressed air ejection unit (7) controlled by the computer unit (6) and a deflection element ejection unit (8), which are designed for passively ejecting bad products (2a, 2b) from the product stream (3). The computer unit (6) is designed to classify the detected bad products (2a, 2b) into bad products (2a, 2b) of the first order or of the second order and to actuate the compressed air ejection unit (7) for actively ejecting the bad products (2a) of the first order, and to actuate the deflection element ejection unit (8) for passive ejection of the bad products (2b) of the second order.
