Flake Analysis

FlakeAnalyser

Flake Analyser 3.0

In a world where the focus on recycling, the circular economy, and manufacturing cost savings is growing, the requirements for accuracy and speed in laboratory analysis are also changing. FlakeAnalyser 2.0 is a next-generation intelligent device that significantly streamlines the quality control process for plastic regrind and flakes.

By combining hyperspectral imaging (HSI) technology with artificial intelligence (AI), FlakeAnalyser can accurately evaluate the material type, its color, size, and volume – fully automatically, non-destructively, and in a fraction of the time compared to conventional methods.

While traditional laboratory measurements often require manual sampling, time-consuming preparation, and operation by qualified personnel, FlakeAnalyser handles the entire process on its own. From loading the material through measurement, evaluation, and data export to returning the sample back – everything takes place without human intervention.

FlakeAnalyser 2.0 – an intelligent revolution in plastic flake analysis

RTT System GmbH has specialized in state-of-the-art instruments for non-destructive laboratory and industrial material analysis since its founding in 2010. With 100% in-house development and manufacturing in Germany, we deliver solutions that combine precision, reliability, and easy operation.

Key fact: FlakeAnalyser 2.0 is the first multi-sensor system on the market combining hyperspectral imaging with artificial intelligence for complete quality control of plastic flakes.

Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) technology

Thanks to state-of-the-art hyperspectral imaging in the near-infrared (NIR) spectral range, FlakeAnalyser detects the detailed spectral “fingerprint” of each flake. This means the system can distinguish even very similar materials and identify hidden contaminants or color deviations before further processing.

  • Spectrum 400–1000 nm with ~5 nm resolution
  • 2 MP color camera + HSI sensor in one module
  • Instant data processing on the integrated industrial PC

Artificial intelligence

FlakeAnalyser 2.0 uses advanced AI algorithms that can learn from your samples and adapt to different types of plastics. The result is continuously improving classification accuracy and minimal error rates, even for visually challenging fractions.

Statistical evaluation of dark flakes

A unique module for analyzing black and dark flakes expands quality control capabilities where traditional cameras fail. FlakeAnalyser evaluates even the darkest materials and provides detailed statistics on fraction size and frequency.

Fully automatic operation

From loading the material to data export: all steps (vacuuming, dosing, measurement, sample return) are performed fully automatically. No manual camera setup, no delays – FlakeAnalyser saves time and operating costs.

Key benefits for your operation

  • Fast inspection: results within 10 s per batch
  • Lower scrap rate: classification accuracy > 98%
  • Cost savings: up to 30% less manual work
  • Reliability: robust design for industrial environments
  • Flexibility: offline and inline measurement modes
