Analysis systems for plastic flakes and regrind
Ensuring high-quality plastic flakes and regrind is critical for determining whether plastic processors can profitably use and sell plastic recyclate. Conventional manual, visual, or thermal sample analyses often present challenges in terms of accuracy, resource requirements, and time consumption.

Analyze polymer types, colors, and metal particles quickly
The FLAKE SCAN by Sesotec is designed for precise and rapid quality assessment of plastic flakes and regrind. This system can analyze sample batches for polymer types, false colors, and metal particles within minutes, using integrated sensors. Up to three sensors – a color sensor, an NIR sensor, and an optional metal sensor – work together to provide reproducible and detailed material assessments. The system can handle up to 8 liters of sample volume and has a throughput of up to 20 kg/h. With its touch screen interface, FLAKE SCAN allows for straightforward operation and automatic reporting and archiving of analysis results. It eliminates the need for labor-intensive manual inspections, making the process more profitable for users. The results from the FLAKE SCAN also offer valuable insights into the recycling process, ensuring efficient functionality of recycling components.
