Company Info
- Company Description
- We are an ambitious start-up, aiming for a significant improvement of the quality control in the plastic recycling industry. We are developing new analytical technologies to improve material property characterization of plastics and complex materials. Currently, we are realizing our Proof-of-Concept, and aim for pilots later this year. Therefor, we are actively searching for partners that can help us in this journey.
Conventional DSC devices are highly accurate and process all types (and colours) of plastics but can only process samples of approximately five milligrammes of plastic flakes per scan (about 1-2 flakes). With an average batch of plastic (one big-bag) weighing one tonne (1000 kg), a quality scan of a mere five milligrammes is not representative nor reliable to assess the quality of such batches.
In order to make analyses reliable and scalable, our MADSCAN device will be able to provide samples for up to 500 grammes of plastic per scan, whilst maintaining the same level of accuracy (99%) and plastic range. This increases the analysis capacity by a factor of 100.000 per scan without a decrease in accuracy or applicability.
