Sikora West Building, Level 2 Booth W5589 Expo Hall Purity Scanner Advanced: Modular system for flexible optical online inspection and sorting of plastic pellets Sikora exhibits the Purity Scanner Advanced that is used for inspection and sorting of plastic pellets. Even the smallest, critical contamination is claimed to be reliably detected and sorted out by the system. Thanks to the modular concept, different camera types can be used depending on the inspected material. In addition to optical 2μm high-resolution cameras, which detect black specks and discolourations, an X-ray camera can be installed to detect metallic contamination down to 50μm in the pellet. Common systems on the market have a maximum of two optical cameras. However, these quickly reach their limits due to relatively low coverage as soon as the contamination are outside the cameras’ field of view. The Purity Scanner Advanced automatically sorts out detected contamination via a blow-out unit. For optimising the bycatch, Sikora has developed a “hybrid blow-out” feature. The customer defines in advance which contaminants in the material are uncritical and select a smaller blow-out unit for these, so that their by-catch is reduced. Both reliable detection and hybrid blow-out ensure high material quality. At the same time, production processes are optimised, and the reduced by-catch contributes to costefficient and sustainable production. The Purity Scanner Advanced is used for inspection and sorting of plastic pellets.
