Definition
This function allows you control whether one or both
of two sequential units of product are rejected, when
there is uncertainty about which one is contaminated.
The pack-gap function is expressed as a percentage
and, for a typical conveyor application, should be set
to 100%.
The length of the individual units of product (for
example, packets of salted butter) placed on a
conveyor.
