Analysis systems for plastic flakes and regrind
Ensure the quality of plastic recyclate with rapid, precise assessment of polymer types, colors, and contaminants, all in minutes. This solution enables efficient quality control for better decision-making in material reprocessing and recycling efforts.

The FLAKE SCAN from Sesotec is an automated analysis system designed to streamline the quality assessment of plastic flakes and regrind, such as PET, PP, and HDPE. It utilizes up to three integrated sensors, including color, near-infrared, and optional metal sensors, offering precise, reproducible analyses within minutes. This system is ideal for applications producing end-products like PET bottles, HDPE milk jugs, and synthetic fibers. With a throughput capacity of up to 20 kg/h, it efficiently processes sample volumes of up to 8 liters. Operated via a simple touchscreen interface, FLAKE SCAN automatically reports and archives analysis results, seamlessly integrating into continuous and high-speed recycling operations. The system reduces manual sampling efforts, increases profitability, and ensures compliance with quality standards. Its robust design supports easy cleaning and maintenance, while automated and customizable engineering options enhance workflow efficiency, making it an indispensable tool for plastic recyclers and processors.
