X-Ray Pellet Scanner (XP7)

The new OCS XP7 X-Ray Pellet Scanner detects metal defects in highly transparent and opaque pellets, which improves the polymer and product quality. The innovative X-ray technology in the measuring system of the XP7 analyses images of the pellet stream in real time. Due to the different absorption of the X-rays in the metal and in the polymer, the embedded metal particles can be detected from a size of 50 µm. Contaminated pellets are sorted out by a multi-track air nozzle system.
