Plastic pellets inspection system

Ensure product quality by accurately detecting impurities and variations in plastic pellets, optimizing throughput, and minimizing defects in your continuous, high-speed production processes.

Inspects and Analyzes Plastic Pellets

The Plastic Pellets Inspection System from Inspect Technologies offers a robust solution for manufacturers seeking enhanced quality control in plastic production. Designed for seamless integration into existing production lines, this system inspects up to 1,000 kg/hr (2,200 lbs/hr) with scalable options for increased capacity or resolution. Utilizing a single or multi-camera setup, it effectively detects impurities, analyzes pellet contours, and monitors grain size variations to ensure on-spec products. The color camera system enhances detection of color deviations, crucial for maintaining product consistency in industries such as plastics manufacturing, packaging, and chemicals. Its mechanical simplicity—no motors or belts—facilitates easy cleaning and maintenance during quick product changeovers. Ideal for plastic manufacturers, the system bolsters quality assurance processes with minimal operational disruption.
