Universally applicable in plastics recycling and processing
Analyze samples for polymer types, false colors, and metal particles within minutes
Perform manual, visual, and thermal analyses with less effort
The challenge
The guarantee of high quality of plastic flakes and regrind is crucial in determining whether plastic processors and manufacturers can profitably use and sell plastic recyclate. Depending on how the recyclate will be used, but also as a means of evaluating the recycling sorting process, elaborate manual, visual, or thermal sample analyses are often necessary in order to assess the quality of a batch of materials. Such sample analyses are hardly representative, and furthermore require additional resources, costs, and time.
Device features
• Analyzes flakes and regrind of materials such as PET, PP, HDPE, and mixed plastic flakes according to their material composition for polymer types, false colors, and metal particles
• Combine up to three sensors: Color sensor, near-infrared sensor, metal sensor (optional)
• Sample volume: up to 8 liters for representative results
• Throughput: up to 20 kg/h
• Simple operation via touchscreen
• Automatic reporting and archiving of analysis results
Performance characteristics
With the FLAKE SCAN analysis system, it takes only a few minutes to precisely determine the quality of plastic flakes and regrind.
Efficient
• Analyze samples for polymer types, false colors, and metal particles within minutes
• Quickly assess the composition of batches of plastic flakes
