Contaminant Detection in the Chemical Industry

FOREIGN BODY DETECTION IN THE CHEMICAL INDUSTRY

Where Chemistry Meets Success

The chemical industry encompasses a wide range of manufacturing processes—from detergents and surfactants to silicates. Sesotec systems for foreign body detection reliably eliminate contaminants and foreign materials. At every stage of production and processing—and across all sectors of the chemical industry.

Filter Out What Doesn't Belong

Iron

Iron can enter production as a foreign body through abrasion, corrosion, or faulty machine parts. Iron is magnetic, which makes detection by magnetic separators easier.

Stainless Steel

Stainless steel can enter production through material abrasion or damage. Since stainless steel is typically only weakly magnetic or not magnetic at all, detection requires metal detectors or X-ray technology.

Copper

Copper can enter production through corrosion or mechanical wear. It is detected by metal detectors or optical inspection systems.

Metal Detection and Separation

Using inductive technology, Sesotec metal detection systems identify all metallic foreign bodies in the chemical industry.

Magnetic Systems

Sesotec magnetic systems deliver exceptional magnetic performance and efficient design to eliminate even the finest ferrous metal contaminants.

Where Are Sesotec Solutions Used in the Chemical Industry?

Sesotec systems inspect products for metallic contaminants at goods receipt or during processing, ensuring safe removal of any contaminated material.

Solutions are available for various conveying methods, such as vacuum, pressure, or free-fall conveying.

Manufacturing Cleaning Solutions

Sesotec detects and safely removes contaminants like glass, metal, or plastic particles in cleaning agents.

Silicate Production

Foreign body-free materials are essential to preserve the desired chemical and physical properties of silicates.

Surfactant Production

Foreign body detection prevents contamination that could compromise the surface tension-reducing properties.

Fertilizer Production

In fertilizer production, foreign body detection safeguards machinery and final products from contaminants like metal fragments or packaging residues.

Pigment Production

In pigment production, foreign body detection ensures purity by removing unwanted metal particles.

Overall Equipment Effectiveness

Foreign bodies in production can lead to unexpected delays, increased maintenance, and reduced output.

Customer Demands and Quality

The chemical industry faces the challenge of delivering products with the highest purity and quality. A foreign body in the final product jeopardizes customer satisfaction and can lead to complaints or loss of orders.

Prevent Production Downtime

Even small foreign bodies can halt production processes, leading to costly downtime and, in the worst case, the loss of entire batches.

Protect Your Machinery

Foreign bodies like metal parts or debris can damage sensitive production machinery. The result: high repair costs and production delays.
