trinamiX NIR Solutions
– Flexible Applications for Plastics and Textiles

tri­na­miX PAL One is a por­ta­ble near-infrared (NIR) spec­tro­me­ter used to iden­ti­fy pla­s­tic and tex­ti­le mate­ri­als based on their spec­tral fin­ger­print. It com­bi­nes robust hard­ware with advan­ced cloud-based ana­ly­sis to deli­ver mate­ri­al insights within seconds.

tri­na­miX offers fle­xi­ble NIR spec­tro­sco­py solu­ti­ons for pla­s­tics and tex­ti­les, enab­ling recy­clers, QA teams, and sus­taina­bi­li­ty pro­fes­sio­nals to iden­ti­fy mate­ri­als and assess qua­li­ty with unmat­ched speed and simplicity.

Workflow Overview

Here’s how the tri­na­miX solu­ti­on works in practice:

  1. Place the spec­tro­me­ter direct­ly on the sample
  2. Press the but­ton – NIR light is emit­ted and reflected
  3. The spec­trum is ana­ly­zed instant­ly via the app
  4. Results appear on screen and are saved to the cloud

FAQ

What plastics can the trinamiX PAL One identify?

Depen­ding on the licen­sed app, the device can iden­ti­fy HDPE, LDPE, PP, PVC, PS, ABS, PLA, PET, PBT, PEI, and over 30 other com­mon and tech­ni­cal plastics.

Is the device suitable for quality control?

Yes. The Cor­re­la­ti­on App allows you to compa­re each sam­ple against a refe­rence using spec­tral simi­la­ri­ty (R/R²). This is ide­al for inco­ming goods inspec­tion and batch validation.

Can I use the device for textile applications too?

Yes. The same device sup­ports apps for tex­ti­le sort­ing, PA 6 vs PA 6.6 iden­ti­fi­ca­ti­on, wool sort­ing, and more. Learn more here.

Can I upgrade my configuration later?

Abso­lut­e­ly. All soft­ware appli­ca­ti­ons are modu­lar. You can add licen­ses for new appli­ca­ti­ons any­ti­me wit­hout chan­ging the hardware.
