The new OCS XP7 X-ray pellet scanner uses innovative X-ray technology to detect metal defects in highly transparent and opaque pellets. The scanner analyzes images of the pellet stream in real time, and due to the different absorption of X-rays by metal and polymer, it can detect embedded metal particles as small as 50 micrometers. This helps to improve the quality control of polymers and products by ensuring that contaminated pellets are sorted out. The XP7 can test a variety of raw materials, including highly transparent and opaque pellets.
