Plastics Processing - Sesotec GmbH

Where Purity Takes Shape

Metallic impurities cause numerous issues in plastic processing. Sesotec's foreign body detectors reliably identify metals, preventing machine damage and production downtime. For companies processing plastics, this means not only higher product quality but also improved overall equipment effectiveness.

Remove What Doesn't Belong

Ferrous Metals

Foreign bodies made of iron can enter production through abrasion from machines or transport lines.

Aluminum

Lightweight aluminum parts often integrate seamlessly into machine components for plastic processing.

Copper

Copper particles from electrical wiring or machine wear can act as conductive foreign bodies, leading to production defects or negatively impacting the properties of the plastic.

Stainless Steel

Stainless steel particles can disrupt processing, affect material consistency, and cause visible defects in the final product.

Brass

Brass, with its abrasive nature, can damage surfaces and compromise the visual quality of transparent or high-precision plastic components.

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 plastics processing?

Our Sesotec solutions are integral to every stage of your production chain—from material feed to the finished product.

They safeguard your machinery from damage caused by metal contaminants, ensure material purity, and maintain consistently high product quality. Common applications include granulate processing, extrusion, injection molding, and blow molding processes.

Recycled Material

Recycled plastics can contain foreign bodies such as metals, glass, or other impurities that enter the material during the recycling process.

Granules

Plastic granules can become contaminated by metal abrasion, machine parts, or other particles during production, storage, or transport.

Additive

Chemical additives that enhance the properties of plastics may contain unwanted particles, either from the manufacturing process or due to handling errors.

Fillers

Fillers like talc or calcium carbonate may contain foreign bodies such as mineral impurities.

Color Masterbatches

Concentrated color blends can be compromised by foreign particles, disrupting the uniformity and color quality of the final product.

Overall Equipment Effectiveness

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

Customer Demands and Quality

The plastics processing industry is under 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 Against Machine Damage

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

The initial RAPID PRO-SENSE units are performing exceptionally well in production. We are extremely pleased with the results.
