HIGH VOLTAGE is present within the control box enclosure. Install according to local electrical codes to
insure personnel safety. When SERVICING, technician must insure that external electrical power is
disconnected and locked out before making contact with the equipment.
As with any piece of ELECTRICAL equipment, one should become familiar with the manual and all
associated drawings furnished before applying power. Proper connections and operation are required for safe
use. FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS for safety of personnel when operating or maintaining this equipment.
SAFETY AND WARNING
Before you install this Eject System, you should
take the time to carefully read all the instructions
contained in this manual.
Before installing, wiring, starting, operating or
making any adjustments, identify the components
of the Eject System, using this manual as a guide.
The operator should use common sense and good
working practices while operating and maintaining
this unit. Check the safety devices following the
procedures contained in this manual.
Qualified personnel, adequately equipped with
proper tools should do maintenance. Follow the
maintenance schedules as outlined in the manual
to insure problem free operation after start-up.
Safety instructions in this manual are bold-faced for
emphasis. The signal words WARNING and
CAUTION are used to indicate hazard seriousness
levels as follows:
*** CAUTION ***
Caution is used to indicate the presence of a
hazard, which will or can cause minor
personal injury or property damage if the
caution is ignored.

GENERAL
The Enercon Eject System was designed to provide
the packaging industry with a simple system to
eject bad containers off a conveyer. The eject
system can be used with any “bad container”
detectors, such as; missing foil detectors, high cap
detectors and missing cap detectors to name a few.
The system accepts a contact closure from the
desired “bad container” detector which starts a
delay timer. Once timed out, the eject timer is
activated, causing the plunger to eject the container
off the conveyor.
EJECT SYSTEM FEATURES
a. Delay timer
Used to set the time from when the bad
container is detected to when the container
reaches the eject zone.
b. Eject time
Used to set the time for how long the eject
plunger is activated.
c. Cylinder speed adjust
Used to set the extension and retraction
speed of the plunger .
d. Air pressure regulator and gauge
Used to set the force of the plunger.
EJECT SYSTEM SPECIFICATIONS
Electrical
a. A power cord is supplied for customer
connection to a local power source. The
power required is either 120VAC or 240VAC ±
10%, 50/60 Hz, 1ph, 2A. Check rating plate of
eject system for correct voltage.
b. A 12ft. two conductor cable is also supplied
for the external signal input.
Air requirements
a. Filtered air is required at 70-90 PSI.
*** WARNING ***
BE SURE ALL POWER IS DISCONNECTED AND
LOCKED OUT FROM UNIT BEFORE PERFORMING
ANY PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES.

SECTION 2- INSTALLATION
UNPACKAGING AND INSPECTION
Carefully open all shipping containers and remove
the contents. Each item should be thoroughly
inspected for damage.
NOTE: Be extra careful if using a sharp instrument
when removing the protective wrapping from the
equipment. File a claim with the freight carrier for
any damage incurred. Enercon Industries should
also be contacted as soon as possible to expedite
the shipment of replacements parts.
CONTACT:
IMPORTANT:
If concealed loss or damage is discovered after
delivery, notify your carrier at once and request an
inspection. This is absolutely necessary for the
carrier to consider your claim. If damage is
detected, be sure to note it on freight bill before
signing it to acknowledge receipt. The carrier agent
should make an inspection and issue a loss or
damage report. If you give the carrier a clear
receipt for goods that have been damaged or lost in
transit, you do so at your own risk and expense.
EJECT SYSTEM CONTROL BOX
The eject system control box should be mounted
near the bad container detection system that is
being used. If the eject system is being used with
an Enercon supplied Foil Liner Detector it should
be mounted “downstream” of the detector (See
Figure 1). If the eject system is being used with an
Enercon supplied Cap Inspection System it should
be mounted between the high cap sensor and the
power supply (See Figure 2). The eject system
must be mounted no further than 9.99 seconds
“down stream” due to the maximum range of the
delay timer. To calculate the maximum distance the
ejector can be mounted from the bad container
detector simply multiply the conveyer speed in
feet/second times 9.99 seconds. The ejector should
then be mounted somewhere within this window.
The ejector can then be mounted on the side of the
conveyor using the angle brackets and hardware
supplied.
COMPRESSED AIR
Once the eject system control box has been
installed, filtered compressed air (70-90 PSI) will
need to be supplied to the control box (see the
installation diagram for the location). For ease of
installation, a one – touch fitting for 3/8 outside
diameter plastic tubing is supplied.
EJECT SIGNAL
The eject control box requires a normally open
contact signal that momentarily closes from the bad
container detector for activation. A 12ft two-
conductor cable for this signal is supplied. If you
have purchased this for an Enercon cap sealer this
cord will have a plug on the end which is to be
connected to the back of the power supply.
INPUT POWER
A power cord is supplied with the eject system and
can be plugged into a standard 120V receptacle to
power the system. (240V power is optional.
Observe the rating plate for the correct voltage)

SECTION 3 – PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
METHOD OF OPERATION
Once the eject system has been installed, adjust
the air pressure regulator to 70 PSI. Apply power to
the eject system by using the power on switch on
the right side of the box to turn the unit on. (Insure
the timer displays energize with power applied.)
The system is now ready for testing and calibrating.
The eject system is designed to use an external
eject signal from a bad container detector. Upon
receiving an eject signal, the delay timer is
activated. As the bad container approaches the
eject box, the delay timer will time out. Once timed
out the plunger will be activated for a set time and
consequently push the container off the conveyor.
If the plunger activates prior to the container
reaching the plunger increase the delay time by
using the up arrow and repeat the test. Continue
this process until the plunger makes contact with
the center of the container as it passes in front of
the plunger.
If the plunger activates after the container reaches
the plunger decrease the delay time by using the
down arrow and repeat the test. Continue this
process until the plunger makes contact with the
center of the container as it passes in front of the
plunger.
The amount of time the plunger is in the extended
position is also adjustable and can be increased or
decreased by using the up/down arrows. (It is
recommended to adjust this time to approximately
0.08 seconds as a starting point when setting up
the system) This timer should not be operated with
a timer setting longer then the delay timer setting
To ensure the proper ejection on the container you
may need to adjust the speed of the cylinder
plunger by adjusting the speed control valves
located on the front of the eject box.
NOTE: The ejector was designed with a built in
cache of 29 containers, which means a total of 29
bad containers can occur between when a bad
container is sensed and when the first bad
container is ejected. This should be more than
adequate for the spacing between the detection
device and the eject system. (If more than 29
containers are detected before the first bottle is
ejected the timing function of the ejector will be out
of synchronization.)

SECTION 4 – EJECT SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
Due to the nature of this system the amount of maintenance required will be minimal. The main priority for
maintenance will be keeping the unit and air supply clean and properly adjusted.
CLEANING
As long as clean air is supplied to the ejector
minimal cleaning is required for proper operation.
ADJUSTING
If the line speed or product type does not change
there should be no reason to make any
adjustments to the system, however you may want
to periodically check the mounting hardware, if this
loosens the timing of the system may be thrown off.
NOTE: For each new product that is run you may
have to adjust the eject delay, eject time and
plunger speed to ensure proper ejects.
