Under the motto “Economy meets Ecology”, Sesotec will present solutions with intelligent technologies and sustainable management at Fakuma 2024 on October 15-19.

Besides the PRE-SORT platform, Sesotec will also present other proven systems, including the GF metal detector, the RE-SORT metal separation unit, the RAPID VARIO metal separator with rotating separation unit and the PROTECTOR metal separator for extruders, injection molding and blow molding machines, as well as the FLAKE SCAN material analysis system.

Sesotec will present the improved PRE-SORT sorting platform at Fakuma 2024.

PRE-SORT sorting platform

The PRE-SORT sorting platform will be the centerpiece of Fakuma 2024. This all-in-one solution combines the VARISORT COMPACT sorting system, dedusting units, material conveying and a central control system.

The platform offers easy access to the respective device components and the system components are further optimized to achieve even more precise sorting results. In addition, a maintenance area has been implemented that allows direct access to each control of the individual components.

PROTECTOR metal separators

Another highlight exhibit is the new “Monitoring Package” for PROTECTOR metal separators, which solves challenges such as fluctuating product quality, heterogeneous input material and confusing process parameters.

The Monitoring Package is an optional sensor unit that records parameters such as moisture, temperature and color fluctuations of the material passing through directly on injection molding machines and extruders. This enables deviations to be reported to higher-level systems, allowing processes to be adapted and the highest product quality to be ensured.

The monitoring package enables rapid integration into the processing line, reduces plastic waste and ensures a constant melting point of the conveyed material. It also reduces the energy required for the melting process, which is environmentally friendly and increases profitability.

FLAKE SCAN analysis system with new features

Three new functions have been added to the FLAKE SCAN analysis system, significantly enhancing precision and efficiency in plastic sorting.

1. Label printer for labeling sample bags: A label printer can now be connected to facilitate direct assignment of the analysis results to the respective samples. This function can be used to print labels that can be attached directly to big bags or sample containers. This option can be retrofitted, which means that existing FLAKE SCAN systems can also benefit from this new function.

2. Barcode scanner for simplified batch number entry: FLAKE SCAN now offers the option of connecting a barcode scanner via the system’s USB ports for faster and error-free batch number entry. This reduces the effort required for manual input and minimizes the risk of input errors.

3. Particle size distribution: The enhanced FLAKE SCAN software now enables precise flake size analysis. This function supports users in accurately determining the size distribution of the material, which is of great importance for optimizing the recycling process.
