S+S Introduces Contaminant Detectors and Separators for Production and Recycling

S+S Separation and Sorting Technology GmbH, based in Schönberg, Germany, has introduced two new systems that offer what it calls comprehensive separation and sorting solutions for the complete life cycle of plastics. The systems comprise metal detectors and separators, as well as magnet systems for all production stages and conveying types in plastics processing and contaminant separators for plastics recycling.

S+S's Protector-HR metal separator.

The company says the new solutions solve the problem of protecting high-performance injection molds for preforms or caps and closures against metal contaminations to increase the economic efficiency of the complete production process.

With the Protector-XHT, S+S has developed a metal separator in a high-temperature version for processing temperatures of up to 200 degrees Celsius (392 F). The separator is installed directly at the inlet of the injection-molding machine or after the drier. The device inspects all the materials at the last chance control point.

High-performance molds such as those for bottle caps with up to 96 cavities or more require metal separators with highest scanning sensitivity to protect the delicate hot-runner systems. For this application, S+S has developed the Protector-HR metal separator.

To protect delicate hot-runner systems, S+S has developed the Protector-HR metal separator with highest scanning sensitivity. The S+S Varisort Compact combination system can be optimally adapted to customer-specific requirements.

S+S has subsidiaries in Great Britain, France, China, Singapore, the United States, a representative office in India and more than 40 agencies throughout the world. For further information, visit www.sesotec.com.
