Benefit from our expertise – 3,000 tests already completed

Ensuring pure pellets is a top priority for manufacturers and processors. However, if the causes of impurities are not found, they cannot be avoided but can only be sorted out later. Therefore makes sense to integrate a root cause analysis into the quality control process. As a manufacturer and distributor of innovative laboratory testing systems, SIKORA is happy to support you with free material tests to help you decide on a suitable system.

In a preliminary discussion, we will clarify with you what requirements you have for your material and how an analysis with our PURITY CONCEPT V optical inspection and analysis system works. You then send us samples of the materials you would like to test. Once we have received the samples, we will analyze them free of charge. The PURITY CONCEPT V detects optical impurities such as discoloration and black as well as colored specks down to 50 µm in size. If required, the material can also be analyzed for metallic impurities using the PURITY CONCEPT X X-ray measuring system.

As part of the evaluation, we create a comprehensive test report for you. It contains a large number of images from the software used to analyze the materials. These show the detected contaminants in various analysis modes in an overall and gallery view as well as information on the color distribution of the contaminants and extensive statistics. This gives you complete transparency as to which samples are suitable for analysis and how this is carried out. You can also see how varied the results would look depending on the selected analysis mode and parameter settings.

With our technical capabilities and expertise gained from over 3,000 material tests, SIKORA is a reliable partner when it comes to analyzing your materials. With the help of the generated report, we can provide you with further information if necessary, such as where problems with impurities are coming from. In this way, you will be professionally and competently supported in your cause research.

Dr. Linda Mittelberg, Group Leader Spectroscopy at the SKZ:

“In May last year, we opened our new Training Center for Quality Management (TZQ) at the SKZ in Würzburg. With this practice-oriented facility, we want to make the plastics industry more competitive in the long term through high qualification and further training of specialists. Among other things, we are also presenting the PURITY CONCEPT V from SIKORA for the inspection and analysis of plastic pellets in the laboratory.”
