Automated Sample Inspection and Detection of Metallic Contamination in Plastic Pellets
Even smallest metallic contamination in plastic pellets can cause signifi cant problems during the production and processing of plastics. SIKORA has developed a special offline inspection system that reliably detects and analyzes contamination from 50 μm in plastic pellets. With the support of X-ray technology, a non-destructive look into and through plastic pellets is possible
