Flake Analyzer™

An equipment manufacturing and engineering company, National Recovery Technologies (NRT) provides cutting edge sorting solutions to the plastics recycling industry, esp. for PET bottles. Here presents one of them -  Flake Analyzer^™.

Overview

Application

The NRT On-Line Analyzer is the world's first automated process monitoring instrument offering accurate high-speed spectral analysis of plastic flakes. A typical application is the measurement and reporting (in parts-per-million) of PVC and low melts contaminations in flake produced during the processing of post-consumer PET for recycling.

Technology

The On-Line Analyzer system combines leading edge polymer-specific infrared spectroscopic detection with proprietary high-speed identification algorithms to scan, identify, and characterize polymer flakes. PVC content and Low Melts content are measured and displayed graphically in real time on an industrialized computer screen with Ethernet capability.

Features

• Fast & Accurate IR Spectroscopy
• Continuous measurements taken on a process line slipstream sample
• Large samples provide improved statistical reliability
• Alarm outputs if ppm exceeds operator specified levels
• Graphical viewing of historical data
• Eliminates Wait for Critical Quality Control Information
• Easy use graphics oriented operator interface and remote connectivity
• Development sponsored by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
