In 2024, global reject chutes will sell approximately 87,500 units, with an average market price of around US,200. A reject chute is an automated material diversion and waste removal device installed at the end of a conveyor line or sorting machine. It typically uses a pneumatic actuator, flap mechanism, or gravity chute to quickly divert unqualified products, foreign matter, or materials requiring recycling to a designated collection area. It is widely used in food processing, pharmaceuticals, ore grading, solid waste recycling, and logistics sorting. This equipment is crucial to production line continuity and product quality control. The upstream supply relies on stainless steel sheet metal, pneumatic components, sensors, and PLC control systems; the downstream supply primarily serves food and beverage companies, pharmaceutical factories, mining processing companies, waste sorting centers, and e-commerce warehousing and logistics companies.
Product Overview
Reject Chutes are widely used in industries such as food processing, pharmaceutical sorting, ore grading, solid waste recycling, and e-commerce logistics. A medium- to large-scale food packaging production line typically requires two to four reject chutes. In home appliance housing and electronic component production lines, each injection molding machine is typically equipped with one reject chute. These chutes, coupled with a robot or belt conveyor, collect defective parts or runner material, becoming a key component in ensuring sorting efficiency and product quality.
Supply Status
Upstream raw materials primarily include stainless steel sheets, industrial aluminum profiles, pneumatic components, photoelectric/weight sensors, and PLC control systems. Typical suppliers include BMH, SMC, Festo, Siemens, and Omron.
Manufacturer Features
MTF Technik is a leading European company in the field of small plastic and electronic component rejection, with an annual production capacity of approximately 7,200 units. EMI Corporation, with an annual production capacity of approximately 6,000 units, leads the North American plastic molding and automated sorting market. Vortex specializes in bulk material and powder rejection, particularly in the minerals and chemical industries.
Applications
Food Processing and Packaging: Removing foreign matter and defective products. Customers include Nestlé and Mondelez.
Pharmaceutical and Fine Chemicals: Ensuring pharmaceutical sorting and safety. Customers include Pfizer and Roche.
Waste Recycling and Environmental Protection: Used for waste sorting and resource recovery. Customers include Veolia and Waste Management.
Ore and Bulk Material Handling: Used for powder and granular rejection. Customers include Rio Tinto and BHP.
E-commerce Logistics and Express Delivery: Ensuring sorting accuracy and efficiency. Customers include Amazon and DHL.
Technology Trends
Reject chutes are evolving towards higher speed, greater intelligence, and greater flexibility. Newer generation equipment generally supports pneumatic/electric actuators with millisecond-level response times, improving rejection accuracy and speed. Sensors are evolving from traditional photoelectric detection to high-resolution vision and AI recognition, enabling real-time tracking and defect detection. Modular and detachable designs enhance compatibility with diverse packaging and sorting lines. Domestic substitution is accelerating in the sensor and pneumatic component sectors, resulting in a 3–5% decrease in the overall average price, fueling rapid adoption in emerging Asian markets.
Market Influencing Factors
The continued improvement of safety standards in the food and pharmaceutical industries is driving demand for precision rejection equipment to meet stringent product quality screening requirements. The booming e-commerce and express delivery industry and the accelerated construction of logistics sorting centers have created a wide range of application scenarios for this type of equipment, expanding the market. Furthermore, tightening environmental regulations and the advancement of resource recycling policies are stimulating demand for related equipment in the solid waste sorting sector, further expanding its application potential. The market competition level shows obvious stratification characteristics: international leading companies occupy a dominant position in the high-end market with their technological advantages, while local manufacturers rely on price advantages and flexible customization capabilities to focus on entering the mid- and low-end markets, and the differentiated competition landscape is gradually becoming clear.
