PLASTICS WITH MAXIMUM PURITY

During the manufacturing of polymer granules, optical defects reduce the quality of the final product. If you are looking for a solution to these problems, you are in the right place. At Optical Sorting, we help companies like yours bring back the original value to your product.

How do we do it? Muy sencillo, gracias a la separación óptica detectamos y eliminamos todas las imperfecciones ópticas y garantizamos una pérdida mínima de material. The result of this process is high-quality impurity-free polymers ready for industrial use. Would you like to read more and get to know us a little better? Together, we’re sure to find the best way to purify the plastic you produce.

How do we purify polymers?

We know that the quality of your polymers is very important. That’s why we use cutting-edge technology in all our services. It’s the only way we can ensure maximum purity of plastics that pass through our hands (or better said, our equipment!). Click on the services we offer to find out which is the best for you.

OPTOELECTRONIC CLASSIFICATION

Using a high-resolution linear camera, we detect and eliminate any optical defects with air shots. This means that we analyse aspects such as colour or shape to detect and eliminate impurities, thus obtaining top quality materials free of imperfections ready for industrial processing.

DUST REMOVAL WITH CONE SEPARATOR

The product is dedusted with countercurrent air in a conical separator. To reduce the electrostatic charge we use ionised air.

DEMETALLISATION

With an inductive metal separator we remove the smallest metal particles (NE + FE) from 0.35 mm (FE-Ball).

SCREENING TECHNIQUE

With the specially developed double-deck screens, we remove larger particles such as long or double granules as well as smaller particles such as fines or broken particles.

How do we ensure our quality?
