Overview
The Banner MINI-BEAM® Clear Plastic Detection System consists of a special emitter and receiver with a unique optical arrangement that actively detects the presence of clear plastic material in the beam. When clear plastic material is introduced, there is a dramatic increase in the intensity of the light which reaches the receiver. As a result, clear plastic is reliably detected and differentiated from all other materials.
AC-operated or DC-operated Sensors for Clear Plastic Detection
• Senses the presence of clear plastic materials while ignoring all other materials
• A highly reliable, cost-saving alternative to ultrasonic sensors
• Applications include glass/plastic sorting and clear plastic web break detection
