trinamiX - Textile Scanner

Description

The tri­na­miX PAL One iden­ti­fies tex­ti­le fibers and blend rati­os within seconds using hand­held NIR spec­tro­sco­py. It is desi­gned for on-site use in tex­ti­le sort­ing, recy­cling ope­ra­ti­ons and qua­li­ty control.

Typical Applications

• Tex­ti­le recy­cling and sort­ing facilities
• Pre-sort­ing of post-con­su­mer textiles
• Qua­li­ty con­trol in tex­ti­le processing
• Veri­fi­ca­ti­on of mate­ri­al com­po­si­ti­on in inco­ming goods

Starter Configuration (Webshop Version)

• 1 × tri­na­miX PAL One hand­held NIR spectrometer
• Tex­ti­le iden­ti­fi­ca­ti­on application
• Licen­se dura­ti­on: 1, 3 or 5 years
• Access to mobi­le app and cloud por­tal (Android, iOS, Windows)

Expan­da­ble within your orga­niza­ti­on: Addi­tio­nal appli­ca­ti­ons and devices can be added later if required.

Why trinamiX PAL One?

• Hand­held NIR solu­ti­on for pro­fes­sio­nal tex­ti­le iden­ti­fi­ca­ti­on workflows
• PA6 / PA6.6 dif­fe­ren­tia­ti­on whe­re rele­vant for nylon-based textiles
• Blend ana­ly­sis for sel­ec­ted mate­ri­al com­bi­na­ti­ons such as cotton/polyester
• Sca­lable sys­tem archi­tec­tu­re for advan­ced tex­ti­le applications

Detectable Materials / Capabilities

• Natu­ral fibers: cot­ton, wool and silk
• Semi-syn­the­tic fibers: viscose
• Syn­the­tic fibers: poly­es­ter, poly­ami­de, acrylic, poly­pro­py­le­ne and elastane
• Blend ana­ly­sis for sel­ec­ted com­bi­na­ti­ons such as cotton/polyester and cotton/elastane

Typi­cal blend accu­ra­cy: ±7%, depen­ding on mate­ri­al and structure.

How It Works

1. Place the scan­ner direct­ly on the tex­ti­le surface
2. Start the mea­su­re­ment in the app
3. Review mate­ri­al type and blend composition

Results are pro­ces­sed secu­re­ly in the cloud and dis­play­ed in the appli­ca­ti­on environment.

Important Notes

• Mate­ri­als con­tai­ning car­bon black may not be detec­ta­ble due to NIR-rela­ted phy­si­cal limitations.
• Best results are achie­ved on clean, non-coa­ted surfaces.

Available Extensions

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens after the license expires?

The hard­ware remains your pro­per­ty. The licen­se can be rene­wed to con­ti­nue using the appli­ca­ti­on and cloud services.

Can the system be upgraded later?

Yes. Appli­ca­ti­ons and licen­se dura­ti­ons can be expan­ded later within the same organization.

Does it work on dark textiles?

Mate­ri­als con­tai­ning car­bon black may not be detec­ta­ble. Mea­su­ring inner or less dyed are­as can impro­ve results depen­ding on the sample.

Is this suitable for industrial sorting?

Yes. The PAL One can be used in semi-auto­ma­ted table set­ups and hig­her-through­put sort­ing workflows.
