Extrusion International 5-2017

45 Extrusion International 5/2017 surement with the LASER Series 2000 and 6000 to lump detectors for the detection of irregularities on the prod- uct surface and further to the X-ray measuring systems of the X-RAY 6000 series. Due to the precisemeasurement of the inner and outer diameter, the wall thickness of up to 3 layers, the eccentricity as well as the ovality of products, the systems ensure manufacturers the highest quality as well as cost savings and profitability during extrusion. spection but also data control and recording are becoming increasingly important. After all, it is this information that is finally leading to optimized processes and end products of the highest quality”, explains Holger Lieder. Offline inspection and analysis of pellets, flakes and films/ tapes with the PURITY CONCEPT systems For smaller material throughputs and for applications where sampling analysis or incoming goods inspection are sufficient, SIKORA’s engineers developed the PURITY CONCEPT Systems. Alternatively, these analysis devices can be equipped with X-ray technology, optical cameras or infrared sensors and detect contamination in pellets, flakes, films/tapes and crosshead parts. The PURITY CON- CEPT Systems are used, for example, for analyzing pellets, which were detected and sorted out by the PURITY SCAN- NER. “The interaction of online and offline inspection and analysis allows a complete control of the cleanliness of the material and the setup of a database in order to further improve processes and to avoid future contami- nation”, explains Holger Lieder.
