Sikora “on tour”

HILGER Groß, Sikora’s business development and area sales manager for plastics, is visiting customers at different locations in Germany and neighbouring countries with the Sikora mobile, and inviting them to test plastic pellets with the Purity Concept V. “The focus of our roadshow is to make the inspection and analysis system tangible,” said Mr Groß. “Customers can experience the performance of the Purity Concept V live on their own premises. Especially in the current situation, it is received very well by our customers when I arrive with the Sikora mobile and present the system, naturally always in compliance with the valid hygiene and distancing regulations.” The Purity Concept V is an automated light table used for optical sample testing, quality control and analysis of plastic pellets. The material sample is placed on a sample tray and moved through the inspection area. Within seconds, the material is inspected automatically by a colour camera, and a projector marks the contaminated material directly on the sample tray. The Purity Concept V detects all optical contamination, such as black specks, colour deviations or blendings, from a size of 50µm on the surface of transparent, translucent and coloured material. With the software PurityLab-Professional,

the operator receives images of all contamination, detailed statistics about size and frequency of the detected contamination, and sorting by size categories. A clear allocation of the contamination and follow-up inspection are possible at any time. Sikora “on tour” will continue until the end of this year for customers in Germany and in neighbouring countries such as Austria and Switzerland. Sikora AG www.sikora.net
