Metal detector ELCON from Sesotec installed below the material chute of the Xtra granulator from Wanner.

Metal detector protects Wanner granulators from damage

ELCON detects all metal impurities, even if they are enclosed in the sprue materials

Schönberg, May 2019

Wanner´s granulators are used in plastic recycling to granulate sprues and defective parts coming from the production of injection molded, blow molded or extruded thermoplastic products.
The machines from the Xtra series have hardened cutting tools made of high quality steel. This guarantees a long service life even when processing abrasive plastic materials.

Metal impurities in sprues can nevertheless cause damage to the cutting chamber. In order to reduce impurities and thereby costs, Wanner was looking for a metal detection solution for the inhouse recycling of plastic sprues. The metal detector should be especially suitable for the Xtra series and easy to sell for Wanner´s sales network.

Cutting unit safe protected

Wanner opted for the plate type metal detector ELCON 250 from Sesotec GmbH, since a successful cooperation between the two companies existes already for a long time. With this metal detector are the cutting tools of the granulator safely protected against damage because ELCON detects all magnetic and non-magnetic metal impurities before even touching the cutting chamber. The used half-wave technique stops the crushing tool when metal detection occur and thus prevents the introduction of metallic impurities into the further manufacturing process. In addition, false rejects caused by vibrations in the crushing of brittle plastic materials and hard sprues are minimised.

Carsten Weidel, Regional Sales Manager at Wanner: „What we particularly appreciate about Sesotec is their support on site and the precise implementation of our specifications from Sesotec´s development department. Our customers who use Xtra granulators benefit from the metal detection solution by reducing costs related to machine repair or production stops.“

in Neuseelands erstem PET-Recyclingwerk Schönberg, February 2019 20,000 tons of virgin PET is imported to New Zealand annually. New Zealand government’s Waste Minimization Fund supports the project to reduce that environmental harm. A grant enables the parent company Flight Group Ltd. to open New Zealand’s first PET recycling plant in Wellington and spend NZ$ 12 million (US$ 8.8 million) on a full upgrade at its facility including a wash plant for PET bottles. Flight Group was established in 1907 and initially made leather luggage. It is still privately held by members of the original Osborne family owners. Flight moved into plastic production in the 1970s. It also has PET product manufacturing plants in Adelaide, Australia, and Romsey, England. Keith Smith, CEO of Flight Plastics Ltd in Wellington said the wash plant and other work at the facility enables Flight Plastic to produce thermoformed packaging from recycled PET bottles. The company installed extrusion equipment to use recycled PET

X-Ray Technology for inspection of coffee in metalized packs Sesotec’s RAYCON garantees reliable detection
X-Ray Technology for inspection of coffee in metalized packs
Sesotec’s RAYCON garantees reliable detection The business of Sesotec´s reference customer Khao Shong Group Co.,Ltd. is the coffee blending. Over the years, developed Khao Shong the perfect manufacture process to ensure the optimal flavour of the coffee. Committed to nature and to the efficient use of resources this customer also strives to achieve highest quality. He thus was able to establish himself on the market and to win the confidence of various OEM customers for whom he produces today. In the production of coffee mix 3in1 (instant coffee, milk powder and sugar) broken metal particles from processing machines might contaminate the product. And if this coffee mix – as is the case with this customer – is packed in metallized packs it is difficult to detect such metal particles with conventional methods. Therefore, this company was looking for alternative methods for contaminant detection. The RAYCON X-Ray inspection system from Sesotec is able to detect even smallest metal particles in metallized
