Bottle reject system

A bottle reject system comprising

• a conveyor for carrying formed bottles,
• an inspection device for inspecting bottles carried by said conveyor and for issuing a pass signal in the event an inspected bottle is not found to be defective and for issuing a reject signal in the event an inspected bottle is found to be defective and
• a first rejector located downstream of said inspection device for removing a defective bottle from the conveyor,
• a chute sensor for issuing a chute signal confirming that the operation of the first rejector removed a bottle from the conveyor,
• a reacquire sensor located intermediate said inspection device and said first rejector for issuing a reacquire signal indicating the presence of a bottle,
• a second rejector located downstream of said first rejector for removing a bottle from the conveyor, and
• a control for receiving
• a pass signal,
• a reject signal,
• a reacquire signal, and
• a chute signal,
• the presence or absence of each of these signals defining a control state,
• said control operable to selectively issue an operate signal to said first rejector when a defective bottle is in front thereof, and
• said control comprising means for issuing an operate signal to said second rejector when that defective bottle would be in front thereof when one of a plurality of selected control states exist.
