analysis. Integrated into the company’s quality control laboratory, the system inspects rPET samples before shipment and automatically detects visual defects such as black specks and discoloration, as well as other contaminants as small as 50 micrometres. The company says that by replacing manual inspection processes, the concept improves both accuracy and efficiency. “With the Purity Concept V, we have significantly

tool more powerful as it detects any abnormal process values and automatically triggers remote analysis using AI-supported algorithms to identify potential damage and pinpoint affected components. In the event of anomalies, the machine operator receives precise diagnoses and specific recommendations for action directly on the BluPort platform, while regular status reports provide an analysis of monitored components and detailed long-term data can be viewed online.
Visual defects Hiroyuki Industries has established itself as a key player in the production of food-grade recycled PET with a product portfolio that includes bottle-to- bottle recycling, strapping bands, and stretch films. To ensure that only the highest quality material leaves its facility, the company relies on Sikora’s Purity Concept V system for optical inspection and
improved our ability to detect visual contaminants of the pellets,” said Chan Shuang, QA Assistant Manager at Hiroyuki. “This not only enhances product quality but boosts confidence in our material among our customers.” The company says use of the Purity Concept V has led to measurable improvements in product consistency with defects being detected far earlier which allows for immediate corrective action and a reduction in the number of non-conforming batches. Furthermore, each inspection is recorded and archived, creating a reliable data trail that supports traceability, customer assurance, and regulatory audits. At K2025,
Inspec.tech – which makes camera- based pellet inspection and sorting technology for sheet and film –unveiled upgrades to its in-line Raw Material Inspection systems, which now benefit from improved camera and lighting technology. Additional improvements include enhancements to camera and lighting positioning for improved detection and rejection of defects based on size, shape, colour, contamination such as black specs or burnt material, and cross-contamination. Based on this technology, the company also introduced its new Material Recovery System which performs automatic,
