customers. The company is also inviting visitors to bring along examples of their own production for testing. The system comprises an automated light table that allows the plastic pellets on a sample tray to be moved through the inspection area and inspected by a colour camera. Within seconds, a projector optically marks all contaminated pellets directly on the sample tray. The system can detect and statistically evaluate contaminants such as black specks from 50 microns in diameter on the surface of transparent, transclucent and coloured materials. It can also detect colour deviation. The company will also show an X-ray based

Schwing’s Vacuclean is a compact integrated pyrolysis cleaning system for machine parts
Schwing Technologies will launch the Vacuclean Compact, a small format fully automatic vacuum pyrolyisis system for cleaning of metallic compo- nents such as compounding extruder parts and screen packs. Designed to take a load of up to 50kg, the compact unit measures 210mm by 120cm by 100cm and weighs 750kg, including integrated catalytic converter, vacuum pump and controller. The new machine is said to be energy efficient and to minimise environ- mental emissions and is Schwing’s response to demands for smaller and lower cost cleaning systems for plastic processing machinery parts that can be installed at the point of production. �

AMI, publisher of Compounding World, will launch its new data services at K2019. Over more than 30 years, the company has assembled a global database containing individually verified information for more than 20,000 named plastics processing sites. At the show, it will introduce a new
data subscription service and demon- strate a suite of enhanced software
66 COMPOUNDING WORLD | October 2019
Purity Concept X laboratory system configured for detection and inspection of metal inclusions in coloured pellets that would be invisible with optical systems. The Concept X system can detect contaminants on the surface as well as inside the pellets. Application examples include inspection of compounds for insulation of HV cables, according to Sikora.
Inline inspection options on show from the company include a Purity Scanner Advanced system, which will be shown at K for the first time as a “Twin Pack” system. This high throughput version uses a combination of X-ray technology with up to four black and white and/or colour cameras to detect metallic contamination inside pellets and colour deviations and black specks on the surface of pellets at throughputs of up to two tonnes an hour. Contaminated pellets are identified and then automatically sorted out using Sikora’s Profes- sional Data Analysis Management (PDAM) software. This provides statistical evaluation of detected contamination, sorted by size and frequency, during production as well as an image gallery of the pellets that have been detected by the optical and X-ray cameras. �

tools that will give subscribers better access to critical information. The company says a number of its larger clients are already taking advantage of the new web-based search and analysis tools; it has now rolled out options for smaller clients that may require more targeted access to processor data. Visitors to the AMI stand will also
be able to find out more about the company’s digital magazines (includ- ing Compounding World), confer- ences and international exhibitions. In addition, they will be able to take part in a number of daily speaker sessions, where some of the company’s experts will cover topics such as recycling, compounding and masterbatch. �
