SHOW PREVIEW | CHINAPLAS 2021
Right: Sikora’s Centerwave 6000 uses millimetre wave technology to control pipe quality during extrusion
ric dosing unit. The machine ensures production flexibility and high precision, even in the presence of vibrations – thanks to its Vibration Immunity System (VIS). The unit can be installed directly onto processing machinery, including extruders. Thanks to its multiple connections, it allows real time production traceability. “China is an important growing market for us,” said Silvia Moretto, marketing manager at the company. “Chinaplas will not only be an opportu- nity to showcase our products, but above all a return to direct contact with our customers.” The company will also show X Comb, a compact and fully electric mini dryer. It helps to ensure full polymer dehumidification thanks to homogeneous treatment of the material inside the OTX (Original Thermal eXchanger) hopper. This solves the problem of falling flows to guarantee uniform dehumidification more quickly, which the company says makes it more than 66% more energy efficient than conventional hoppers. The dryer can be installed on the machine’s throat with fast and immediate programming: the user only has to set the material type and hourly throughput. The dryer can be combined with Moisture Meter,
a moisture analyser specifically designed for plastic granules. Moisture Meter uses patented Power Peak technology to allow in-line and just-in-time moisture measurement – eliminating any offline analysis. It ensures that the polymer enters the processing machine at the correct dehumidification level.
Measured approach Sikora will present a range of its measuring, control, inspection, analysis and sorting systems at Chinaplas. For quality control during pipe extrusion, Sikora
offers the Centerwave 6000, based on millimetre wave technology. The device precisely measures diameter, ovality, wall thickness, the inner profile as well as the sagging of the pipe. The measuring principle does not require any coupling media or calibration and is not influenced by temperature or the plastic material. “The easy operation of the Centerwave 6000 and its precision lead to the highest quality of the final product as well as cost savings and optimal efficiency,” said Wanbin Chen, president of Sikora China.
The company will also show its X-Ray 6000 Pro, which measures the wall thickness, eccentricity, inner and outer diameter and ovality of hoses and tubes. The thickness of up to three different material layers can be measured. Sikora will also show the diameter measuring systems of its Laser Series 2000 and 6000 – which also offer a lump detection. For online inspection and sorting of plastic
material, the company offers its Purity Scanner Advanced, which combines an X-ray with up to three optical cameras. This means that metal inclusions down to 50 microns in raw material can be detected. At the same time, the optical cameras can detect black specks and burns on a pellet’s surface.
Once detected, faulty pellets are immediately
removed via compressed air. Integrated software provides the operator with a statistical evaluation including information about the size, area and number of the detected contaminants during production.
