The OCS Pellet Scanner (PS800C) is able to analyze highly transparent and opaque pellets in free fall using two separate colour line scan cameras (inspection of the front and back of the pellet stream) with throughput rate of up to 1,000 kg/h, depending on pellets properties.

The system detects impurities that show a colour deviation from the product. An additional feature of the PS800C is a multi-track flap system that sorts out the contaminated pellets. The masterbatch concentration can also be determined. Further advantages are the data transfer of real-time results to the production and process control as well as product improvement through the sorting out of contaminated pellets.

Testable raw materials include highly transparent pellets, opaque pellets and coloured pellets.
