PSSA: Pellet Shape and Size Analysis

   Regular granule size and shape greatly contribute to the safe guarding of quality during further processing. Recognizing quality at the right time means a large contribution to competitiveness.

  The solution? This robust instrument, which can be used for the characterization ov variety of plastic granules and pellets handled or produced in various industries.

   The PSSA allowa a very precise qualification and quantification of sizes as well as shapes of the particles and the related distribution.

   This instrument generates a wide range of parameters useful for research and quality control aplications: size, shape factor, roudness, roughness, elongation, convexity, sieve diameter...

   This software (windows interface) offers a multitude of configuration possibilities, enabling the user to adapt the system exactly according to individual requirements.

   The Pellet analyzer is applicable for laboratory purposes as well as on-line inspection. The pellets can be submitter as a sample or it can be withdrawn from the production line by creating a bypass. Using a bypass system gives the user the advantage of direct inspection of the material during the production process. This allows quicker reaction to any defects.

   The inspection can be observed on a monitor and visible defects marked and indexed. Images of special importance can be stored and the results represented by a variety of graphics and tables, that can be printed. The data, software adjustments, the time and duration of the inspection can be easily accessed. This facilitates later evaluation or long-term evaluation.
