trinamiX PAL One – Plastic Identification (NIR)

Description

The tri­na­miX PAL One iden­ti­fies com­mon pla­s­tics and engi­nee­ring poly­mers within 2–3 seconds using hand­held NIR spec­tro­sco­py. It is desi­gned for on-site use in sort­ing, inco­ming goods inspec­tion and qua­li­ty assurance.

Typical Applications

• Pla­s­tic sort­ing in recy­cling facilities
• Inco­ming goods inspec­tion for gra­nu­la­tes, parts and packaging
• Qua­li­ty assu­rance in production
• Veri­fi­ca­ti­on of sup­pli­er materials

Starter Configuration (Webshop Version)

• 1 × tri­na­miX PAL One hand­held NIR spectrometer
• 1 soft­ware appli­ca­ti­on of your choice:
  • 10 Pla­s­tics – iden­ti­fi­ca­ti­on of com­mon poly­mers such as PE, PP, PET, PS, PVC and ABS
  • Pla­s­tics Max – exten­ded data­ba­se inclu­ding engi­nee­ring pla­s­tics such as PA, PC and POM
• Licen­se dura­ti­on: 1, 3 or 5 years

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

• Cloud-based sys­tem archi­tec­tu­re for sca­lable appli­ca­ti­on management
• Sui­ta­ble for users requi­ring advan­ced mate­ri­al dif­fe­ren­tia­ti­on bey­ond basic poly­mer identification

Detectable Materials / Capabilities

• Stan­dard pla­s­tics such as PE, PP, PET, PS, PVC and ABS
• Engi­nee­ring pla­s­tics with the Pla­s­tics Max application
• Mate­ri­al iden­ti­fi­ca­ti­on direct­ly on-site wit­hout labo­ra­to­ry analysis
• Typi­cal mea­su­re­ment time: appro­xi­m­ate­ly 2–3 seconds

Which Application Do I Need?

• 10 Pla­s­tics – for stan­dard sort­ing and basic iden­ti­fi­ca­ti­on tasks
• Pla­s­tics Max – for engi­nee­ring pla­s­tics and more com­plex mate­ri­al streams
