Cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) is a modified polyethylene material, which is used in the manufacturing of electrical wires and cables, construction materials, and automotive interior components. The purity and cleanliness of the plastic pellets are crucial.
Recently, SIKORA, a globally leading supplier of quality inspection solutions, has launched a detection and sorting system named PURITY SCANNER ADVANCED specifically for cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE).
In addition to the targeted detection and sorting of the smallest black spots and yellowing, this system can also achieve seamless detection and sorting of the tiniest metal particles, which is essential for improving the sorting effect of cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE). It can accurately sort out the smallest impurities within a range of 25µm and sort out metal particles with a size of 50µm during a single material inspection.
During the process of processing cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) into finished products, it is required that the transportation and sorting of the materials will not cause any additional external contamination to the material flow. SIKORA's innovative sorting solution adopts a material transportation system with stainless steel channels to avoid impurity contamination.
This system also uses clean compressed air for targeted and intelligent purging, which can reduce the ejection of clean materials.
SIKORA's PURITY SCANNER ADVANCED solution optimizes the processing of cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) and contributes to achieving cost-effectiveness and sustainable production.
