3.4.1 Ram Installation
1. The rejector should be mounted as close as possible to the last sensor relative to the
product flow. The rejector should be mounted directly to the side of the inspection
conveyor. Pneumatic rejectors are available in 12.7 mm (1/2 in.), 25.4 mm (1 in.), and
203.2 mm (8 in.) stroke models.
2. Select a location where the rails can be cut away to allow the rejects to leave the
conveyor. At faster line speeds, the conveyor cut-away must be larger as shown in
figure x-x.

3. Drill four 8 mm (5/16 in.) holes for the bracket mounting bolts.
4. Mount the rejector to the conveyor with the hardware provided. Use the spacer block
between the bracket and conveyor if required. Set the height so the reject pad hits the
container at the center of gravity.
5. Position the rejector horizontally on the bracket as close as possible to the product
flow without hitting.
6. Tighten all bolts!
