Abstract
Methods and apparatus, including computer program products for package waste management in a filling machine. A waste event is detected during operation of the filling machine. The waste event is associated with a waste event detection point in the filling machine and a corresponding web segment position of the packaging material. One or more filled packages to be discarded are identified. The identification is made based on a predetermined distance along a path to be traversed by the packaging material from the waste event detection point to a waste chute of the filling machine. The predetermined distance is expressed in a standardized length measurement format. In response to determining that the web segment position has progressed a distance equaling the predetermined distance, one or more packages formed at or in close proximity to the web segment position are ejected through the waste chute.
