Plastic has become indispensable these days. There is no industry sector that can disclaim working with polymer or petrochemical material. In addition, conventional manufacturing materials substances are slowly being replaced by plastic, because of its low cost.

The polymer and petrochemical industries are the leading branches, and the level of their requirements has risen equally.

The quality of raw material has to improve to remain competitive; avoiding defective goods, miss production and financial penalties. Therefore, not only the physical properties of pellets and powder are important, furthermore the extrusion process has to be checked as well as the rheological behaviour or rather the molecular structure and the chemical composition of the appropriate material are revealing quality indicators.

OCS raw material inspection systems are designed as adequate reaction to the new requirements. As highly developed optical, rheological, physical and chemical control systems, they guarantee best properties for the fields of polymerisation, processing and application.

When used as on-line systems to optimise the process control, they shorten the response- and product change time, and provide quality assurance (QA) and quality control (QC) when used as off-line lab systems.
