[PuryChecker] check the purity of recycled plastics using NIR technology

by Repla 2023. 12. 4.

 

Purity of recycled, single material plastic can play an important role in the plastic industry. Although environmental laws are implemented all over the world to increase the use of recycled plastic, in reality, there are limitations that prevent reusing. In order to produce refined goods, recycled plastic must be composed of a single material plastic. Unfortunately, plastic of poor quality and in mixed composition are often what we have to work with. 

 

Due to the reasons above, most businesses are hesitant when it comes to buying recycled plastic. A lack of an accurate evaluation system may be another reason why. 

 

In order to alleviate issues of the recycled plastic industry, Repla has devised a product that 

measures the purity of plastic. 

 

- PuryChecker is a device that measures the purity of plastic

 

PuryChecker is 991 cm in length, 488 cm in width, and 624 cm in height. It is a table type device that produces results based on the ratio of single material plastics derived from evaluating plastic flake pieces inputted using NIR sensors

 

Able to check up to 20 kg per test, the test determines 5 plastic types (PP,PE,PS,PET,PVC) on a standard basis. However, with added functions, metal types (AI,Cu,SUS,Steel) and color values (RGB) can be determined as well. 

Using the software’s algorithms on data collected from the sensors, the purity value of a single material plastic for the batch is determined. The respective data can then be stored as a documentation report accessed via mobile app or PC

-How to use?

 

 

PuryChecker is operable using the PC and custom SW provided.

After connecting the PuryChecker to the PC, open the feeder and input flakes for testing

 

Enable the software and set it to test mode (*Three modes: normal & fast & QC)

 

Input numbers for test and start. 

 

Check for the documentation report of the analyzed test on the window list.

 

 

How to use PuryChecker

 

- Goals we hope to achieve with PuryChecker

 

Our new purity evaluation system will be a better experience for those in the plastic industry. 

PuryChecker enables sale of recycled plastics more reliably than that of plastic recycling plants and encourages more businesses to join in on reusing recycled plastics. 

It is a solution to promote both quality and profitability of the plastic industry, furthermore benefit the environment. 

 

For convenience, customization of PuryChecker is available and can be provided in a form different from a table type
