Zusammenfassung:	The present disclosure relates to methods and apparatuses for rejecting defective absorbent articles from a converting line. At a downstream portion of a converting process, a continuous length of absorbent articles may be subjected to a final knife and cut to create discrete absorbent articles advancing on a first carrier. From the first carrier, the discrete absorbent articles may be transferred to a transfer apparatus, which in turn, transfers the discrete absorbent articles to a second carrier. The transfer apparatus may include carrier members that orbit around an axis of rotation and may be adapted to receive the absorbent articles from the first carrier and transfer the absorbent articles to the second carrier. Defective absorbent articles may be detected by an inspection system, which may be operably connected with the transfer apparatus and/or the first carrier to remove the defective absorbent articles from the converting process. La présente invention concerne des procédés et des appareils de rejet d'articles absorbants défectueux d'une ligne de conversion. Au niveau d'une partie aval d'un processus de conversion, une longueur continue d'articles absorbants peut être soumise à un couteau final et coupée pour créer des articles absorbants distincts, avançant sur un premier support. A partir du premier support, les articles absorbants distincts peuvent être transférés vers un appareil de transfert qui, à son tour, transfère les articles absorbants distincts vers un second support. L'appareil de transfert peut comprendre des éléments de support qui gravitent autour d'un axe de rotation et peuvent être conçus pour recevoir les articles absorbants provenant du premier support et transférer les articles absorbants vers le second support. Les articles absorbants défectueux peuvent être détectés par un système d'inspection, qui peut être raccordé de manière fonctionnelle à l'appareil de transfert et/ou au premier support, de manière à retirer les articles absorbants défectueux du processus de conversion.
