  • Method and device for identifying inorganic particles which contaminate loads containing organic particles
    Patent number: 10024805
    Abstract: The present invention describes a method for identifying inorganic particles which contaminate loads containing organic particles, characterized by including the steps of collecting a sample of the load of organic particles, magnetizing the sample, illuminating the sample, capturing images of the sample and sending the images to a computer for processing, analyzing, and evaluating the images, and finally diagnosing whether the load is contaminated, retaining or releasing the load. The device for identifying inorganic particles which contaminate loads containing organic particles, characterized in that it comprises at least one magnetic field source, at least one lighting source, at least one photographic camera, and a computer.
