On Saturday, 14 January 2017,
JS Analytical’s Sales Manager, Joe, had a Commissionary
& Testing visit for Mah Sing
Plastics Industries (MSPI), at Port Klang.

MSPI is one of the largest high-tech plastic
manufacturers in Malaysia. They supply a wide-range of plastic products (such
as plastic pallet and plastic container) and services to local and international businesses.
Before any part of a product is formed, all manufacturing
industries will require the raw materials needed to create their range of
products from packaging, electronics, transportation parts, household furniture,
building infrastructure, etc.
The common raw material used to produce most plastic
products are known as polymer
(also known as plastics) but more specifically known as resin* to the plastic engineering industry.
*Resin: a
synthetic (man-made) product made from the secretion from trees which it is
later used in many known plastics products available today.
The two common resins mentioned below are also known as thermoplastic, a type of polymer that become soft and mouldable when exposed to a specific heated temperature and returns back into its solid state when exposed to cooling temperature:
The two common resins mentioned below are also known as thermoplastic, a type of polymer that become soft and mouldable when exposed to a specific heated temperature and returns back into its solid state when exposed to cooling temperature:
- Polyethylene (PE): helps with creating plastics that are light and soft. It can also be used to do decorative work on material/products.
- Can be used to make: films, sheets, containers, cable insulation, coatings, toy parts, pipe & tubes, etc.
- Polypropylene (PP): helps to produce tougher, durable and tear-resistant plastic items.
- Can be used to make: medical equipment parts, toy parts, electronic components, pipe & production tubing, fibres and filaments, coatings, etc.
During this visit, Joe set-up the Sesotec Metal
Detector
machine and gave a live-testing showcase on how the product could improve MSPI’s work operation.
Sometimes there are cases where small metallic bits, parts
or pieces can drop into a factory’s machinery e.g. that produce plastic material.
This may end up damaging the machinery as it was not meant to handle, crush or
mould metallic objects.
If the machine is damaged, the factory will have to
shut-down their work operation to repair the damaged machine. That would mean a
huge loss in production, especially if their work operation is a 24-hour
one.

The
RAPID VARIO-FS is used to inspect
bulk goods if they have unwanted metallic objects. It is able to detect all ferrous
(magnetic) and non-ferrous (non-magnetic) contamination (steel, stainless
steel, aluminium) – even hidden within a product. All metal contamination will
be found and rejected through the reject unit (as shown in the video below).
The Sesotec Metal Separator
- RAPID VARIO-FS, showed a 100% result with detecting and separating
the metallic parts thrown between into a bulk of black-coloured resins, for
testing (as shown in the video).
