It's Time to Bake Donuts

The customer has a donut reject station after a metal detector in which they currently have an air blow-off into a chute. This set-up ends up destroying the rejected donuts, making a mess in the area. If the pressure is too low, not all donuts make it into the chute which is a problem from a contamination standpoint. With the strategic use of a solenoid valve and a small receiver tank, the customer is able to effectively move the donuts off the conveyor and without making a huge mess that added to cleanup time.
