The Social Impact topic of

Sesotec under the Banner of of "Circular Plastics Economy"

Schönberg, November 2019

From 16 to 23 October Sesotec GmbH was present as an exhibitor at the K trade fair in Düsseldorf and now looks back on a fully positive trade fair appearance. The key topic of "Circular Plastics Economy" attracted many customers, partners and interested visitors to the trade fair stand where Sesotec provided a summary of the subject and presented customised solutions which at decisive points in the plastics cycle - production, processing and recycling - contribute to the conservation of resources and to increased production efficiency.

Valuable insights into the challenges of the plastics industry
"The K trade fair is held every three years and is an optimal opportunity to learn about current topics in the industry and to exchange information about these topics. We are more than satisfied with the results of the trade fair", says Marc Setzen, CEO of Sesotec GmbH, and concerning the focal topic of the K trade fair continues: "Circular Economy not only is a technical challenge but also requires a change of the way people think. The attitude that plastics are throwaway products must be abandoned, and people must become aware of the fact that plastics are valuable reusable materials. Our machines and systems only are one component in the material cycle, but they nevertheless make an essential contribution because they ensure the high quality of secondary raw materials made from recyclate and guarantee that the cycle really works." Michael Perl, Group Director Sales Division Sorting Recycling, adds: "The immense interest in our new Flake scan plastic flake analysis system both among plastics producers and processors as well as recycling companies indicates that the subject of "Circular Plastics Economy" has become a 'Hot Topic' in the industry."

Video series, topic page and Circular Economy blog

After the K trade fair Sesotec continues to further extend the competences concerning the "Circular Plastics Economy" topic. Already in the middle of the year Sesotec published a video series titled "Plastics: Part of the problem ... Part of the solution" which shows the problems with plastic waste and also presents solutions for a functioning circular economy.

Sesotec created a topic page at and as of late the Sesotec website also contains a special Circular Economy blog that in the future will feature articles, white papers and e-books on the subject. In addition to basic information on Circular Economy, trends and topics will be discussed there that are of practical interest for plastics recyclers, producers and processors. For 2020 Sesotec plans several blog articles and additional formats.

Advantages and benefits of OPC UA in the plastics industry
Machines communicate with each other, exchange data and optimise themselves Schönberg, May 2019 For years now, the world has been talking about “Industry 4.0”. The exchange of data in production plays an important role in making the introduction of Industry 4.0 a success. The open communication protocol OPC Unified Architecture, or OPC UA, is increasingly gaining popularity as a way of promoting data sharing. But what advantages and benefits does using OPC UA offer the plastics industry, for example? In the plastics industry, the OPC UA machine communication standard helps to optimise processes from production to service while minimising the loss of time, resources and products (rejects), thereby ensuring top quality and maximum value creation. An example of OPC UA communication: metal separator “talks” to mixing and dosing unit A plastics company that produces caps and lids for the cosmetics industry, for example, may have multiple injection moulding machines in use on the shop floor.

Metal detector protects Wanner granulators from damage
ELCON detects all metal impurities, even if they are enclosed in the sprue materials Schönberg, May 2019 Wanner´s granulators are used in plastic recycling to granulate sprues and defective parts coming from the production of injection molded, blow molded or extruded thermoplastic products. The machines from the Xtra series have hardened cutting tools made of high quality steel. This guarantees a long service life even when processing abrasive plastic materials. Metal impurities in sprues can nevertheless cause damage to the cutting chamber. In order to reduce impurities and thereby costs, Wanner was looking for a metal detection solution for the inhouse recycling of plastic sprues. The metal detector should be especially suitable for the Xtra series and easy to sell for Wanner´s sales network. Cutting unit safe protected Wanner opted for the plate type metal detector ELCON 250 from Sesotec GmbH, since a successful cooperation between the two companies existes already for a long time. With this metal detector are the cutting tools of the granulator

Sesotec Canada’s move provides base for further growth
Demo centre for product testing and customer training Guelph Ontario / Schönberg, April 2019 Sesotec Canada Ltd. is a subsidiary of Sesotec GmbH, a manufacturer of metal detectors, x-ray inspection systems and sorting systems based in Germany. For over four years, Sesotec Canada was based in Cambridge, some 90 km west of Toronto. As of 1 April, it moved from Cambridge to Guelph. Sesotec Canada is expanding rapidly and the premises available in Cambridge became too small to cope. For this reason the company made the decision to move to Guelph, some 75 km south-west of Toronto. Situated only one hour’s drive from Canada’s largest airport in Toronto, the new location at 275 Hanlon Creek Boulevard Unit 3 provides enough space for offices, a meeting room and a showroom with demo equipment. Metal detection, x-ray inspection, and checkweighing systems will be available for product testing and customer training. In addition, the new location also houses on-site spare parts storage, making it possible to quickly support customers
