FOREIGN OBJECT DETECTION FOR PLASTIC COMPOUNDS

Pure Compounds

In the compounding industry, processing a wide range of raw materials from various suppliers is routine—and it comes with an increased risk of contamination. Sesotec's innovative metal detectors and separators provide effective protection for your production facilities, ensuring your plastic compounds meet the highest quality standards. Discover our solutions for reliable foreign body detection!

Remove What Doesn't Belong

Iron

Iron typically originates from machine parts and can lead to contamination and rust formation.

Stainless Steel

Stainless steel can enter production through abrasion, affecting visual quality.

Copper

Copper particles often originate from pipes or machine parts and can cause color changes and chemical reactions.

Metal Detection and Separation

Using inductive technology, Sesotec metal detection systems identify all metallic foreign bodies during compound production.

Magnetic Systems

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

Material Management

FLAKE SCAN and PRE-SORT systems ensure top-tier material quality for plastic processors.

Where Are Sesotec Solutions Used in the Compounding Industry?

A typical application is the analysis of granules and plastic flakes at various process stages. 

For instance, during incoming goods inspection, in production within conveyor lines, directly at the material feed of an extruder, after a screening machine, and during outgoing goods inspection (before or after packaging). 

Automotive Industry

Plastic compounds for vehicle parts must be free from impurities to ensure stability, safety, and flawless performance.

Construction

Compounds for pipes, insulation, or construction profiles must be free from metallic or non-metallic impurities.

Electronics & Electrical Engineering

Pure plastic compounds are crucial in the production of cables, plugs, and housings, ensuring electrical safety and functionality.

Packaging Industry

Packaging for food, pharmaceuticals, and consumer goods demands impeccably hygienic compounds.

Medical & Pharmaceutical Industry

Medical devices and plastic packaging must meet the highest purity standards.

Across the Entire Production Line

Maximum security for your entire production: Our metal detection and magnet systems identify and remove foreign bodies throughout the entire production line. This ensures stable processes, compliant products, and high productivity—from material intake to the finished product.

Total Equipment Effectiveness

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

Customer Demands and Quality

The compound industry faces pressure to deliver products of the highest purity and quality. Foreign bodies in the final product jeopardize customer satisfaction and can lead to complaints or loss of orders.

Avoid 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 Machines

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

With Sesotec's metal separators, our complaint rate due to metallic contamination is zero.
