Mistral+ Pellenc has improved its Mistral platform with this new optical sorter suitable for all optical sorting applications, including operations dealing with PET. Film can be fed through the machine at a rate of almost 10 feet per second.
What's new? The system, which will begin shipping in November. Compared with previous models, the Mistral+ has a new interface and better access for inspection and maintenance. The resolution of its detection system is twice as good as the models it replaces.
Benefits Improved resolution, easier maintenance and reduced energy consumption. The updated system, which comes with a two-year warranty, features a cleaning platform that allows the machine to be cleaned while in operation. It also is equipped with a dehumidifier, which protects the nozzles by filtering out dirty and humid air.
