basis. The Purity Concept Systems inspect material samples directly from the production and provide the material producers with valuable information about their processes. Sophisticated products such as, for example, medical tubes require a reliable control and processing of raw materials. In the different processes of manufacturing plastic products contamination may occur. During the transport of material, contamination can get into the plastic pellets (eg at the unloading of the transport vehicles to the silo caused by dust or other foreign objects). Commonly, manual samples are tested before the material is further processed. However, the smallest metallic or organic contamination from 50μm is not visible to the naked eye. There are, for example, high demands placed on purity in the area of injection moulding as the spraying nozzles can get clogged by contamination, which causes high follow-up costs.

With the new Purity Concept Systems from Sikora there are modularly designed systems available to plastic manufacturers and processors for on- and off-line inspection and analysis of pellets, flakes and films/tapes. The systems are based on X-ray, infrared or optical technologies and are suitable for a large range of applications. While the Sikora Purity Scanner inspects online plastic pellets for contamination and sorts contaminated pellets out automatically, the Purity Concept Systems are used for on- and off-line inspection and analysis of plastics material. They detect and analyse contamination from 50μm and assure the highest material quality and stable production processes. For monitoring production processes the plastics material is tested during raw material manufacturing on a random

The Purity Concept System

The Purity Concept Systems provide an efficient solution for automatic sample inspection at the incoming goods inspection and ensure that only pure raw material gets into the next production step and further processing.
