FLAKE or FAKE? The decisive questions in the processing of flakes: What exactly do they contain? Which substances and which colours in which quantities? In short: Does the milled material contain the goods I expect, or does it just look like it?
It is absolutely necessary to process more recylate. With our automatic, precise analysis of substances and colours you have the latest technology for this essential process at hand. Not only in PET recycling.
The task
Objective and reproducable contamination detection
Closed-loop recycling management, recycling quotas, recyclability. Many words which in the end presuppose one thing: Knowing how pure the plastic regrind you have produced or purchased is.
On the one hand, recyclers can achieve a higher sales price the purer the regrind offered is, the more pure it can be proven to be. Processors on the other hand can only use regrind if it is within certain specifications.
But how can impurities be reliably detected? Impurities, such as PET multilayer, which cannot be identified by eye.
High-resolution, rapid determination of the substances
A high-resolution, fast sensor technology allows us to measure high numbers of flakes in a short time. This is how we can reliably detect all essential plastics and offer a system that can determine much larger samples in a short time than would ever be possible manually.
200 channels for high-precision color measurement
Our solution uses hyperspectral camera technology and 200 colour channels to measure colours with high precision. For example, we can precisely detect the transition from clear to blue flakes.
