Purity Scanner

Sikora India offers a Purity Scanner that sets new standards for material testing. Contamination in raw material can be a major problem in the production of medical tubes or of other products where quality demands are outstandingly high. Therefore, the usage of highly pure material has an essential importance. Challenging is the detection of contaminations which are embedded in the pellet or granulate material – in particular in colored ones. Damages caused by contaminated material can easily be running in the millions. The Purity Scanner is an intelligent system, which can detect contaminations reliably. The impressing system intelligently combines the advantages of an x-ray measuring technology and an optical system. Thus, impurities of 50 µm in the pellet itself and on the surface are detected. Contaminated pellets are sorted out reliably. Not only the use of x-ray technology for this application is unique, also the performance of the optical system is exceptional and exceeds previous solutions on the market. The goal is to provide with this combination a 100 % inspection of the raw material used. Outstanding features: dual inspection – X-ray and optical; detection of contaminations from 50µm on the pellet surface as well as inside the pellet; hermetically sealed system; identification of the dispersion; for transparent and colored pellets; easy to integrate in existing lines; automatic sorting; and flow rate – 500/1,000/2,000 kg/h.
