Reject Bin

Applications & Use Cases

• Used for temporary storage of out-of-specification products or waste materials on food production lines.
• Ideal for segregating rejected items during quality control checks or sorting processes.
• Suitable for collecting by-products or waste streams from various food processing operations.
• Can be integrated into conveyor systems for automated rejection of faulty items.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

Reject bins for this class of equipment commonly range from 50 to 500 litres, depending on the specific application and line speed.

Power supply

Most standalone reject bins are unpowered, relying on gravity or manual handling. Integrated systems may require a 230V single-phase supply for associated sensors or actuators.

Material construction

Typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) for hygiene and corrosion resistance, or robust food-grade plastics.

Footprint

The footprint varies significantly, but a common industrial reject bin might occupy an area of 0.5m x 0.5m to 1.5m x 1.5m, with heights up to 2 metres.

Cleaning access

Units are typically designed for easy cleaning, often featuring smooth internal surfaces, rounded corners, and sometimes removable components.

Mobility

Many units are static, but some may be fitted with castors for ease of movement and positioning within a facility.
