Extrusion International 4-2019

PREVIEW 62 Extrusion International 4/2019 OCS will be presenting its entire product portfolio at the K Trade Fair in Düsseldorf. As a solution provider for the polymer and petrochemical industries, OCS celebrates the Trade Fair premiere of the new X-Ray Pellet Scanner XP7, which impresses with its X-Ray technology and new de- sign. The participants of the K-Show can inform themselves about the entire product range, starting with QM mea- suring systems, system integration up to turnkey labo- ratories at the OCS booth. The new X-Ray Pellet Scanner XP7 combines the high-quality mechanical engineering with state-of-the-art X-Ray technology in an appealing design. It was specially designed for the special require- ments of polymer plants and the processing industry. The New X-Ray Pellet Scanner XP7 The polymer industry strives for 100 % pure raw mate- rial. Metal contaminants in pellets and films are a serious problem – especially in the manufacture of high-voltage cables or for medical applications. The XP7 opens up new ways to detect metal defects, resulting in improved poly- mer and product quality. The innovative X-Ray technolo- gy in the XP7’s measurement system continuously records pellet stream images. Due to the different absorption of the X-rays in the metal and in the polymer, the embed- ded metal particles can be captured with a resolution of 50 µm. Contaminated granulates are sorted out by a multi-track air nozzle discharge system. The new XP7 has a high-speed throughput of up to 600 kg/h, depending on pellet properties. In terms of safety, the XP7 meets all safety requirements according to DIN 54113 and can be used as a full protective device. On-Line Laboratory Solutions Trend-setting technologies can also be seen in other ways at the OCS booth. With VR glasses, visitors can experience tailor-made laboratory solutions virtually on site. Directly inserted in production plants, customer-specific measur- ing systems take quality control and assurance to a new level and to optimise the production process.
