Development of an advanced system for the separation of secondary raw material transparent polycarbonate

Main applicant: Plastika Skaza d.o.o.

Development partner: Fakulteta za strojništvo, Univerza v Mariboru

In PLASTIKA SKAZA d.o.o. we want to use secondary scrap material in the production of demanding parts. Aiming to obtain adequate appearance of such parts, we developed a system for the separation of secondary raw material transparent polycarbonate together with the Faculty of Mechanical engineering at the University of Maribor. Due to the complexity of this process, We developed a system for visual detection of imperfections on transparent polycarbonate particles, that adopts machine learning methods and a mechanical system for the separation of visually analyzed granulate with use of dedicated nozzles for compressed air. Together with our research partners we applied for a patent for this developed solution.
