Smart Scanning Solutions
for Plastics, Textiles, and QA
Solid Scanner connects professionals in recycling, manufacturing, and sustainability with the most effective mobile material analyzers on the market. Our NIR-based solutions help identify materials, verify quality, and evaluate recyclability — instantly and reliably, wherever they’re needed.
All solutions are powered by portable NIR spectroscopy and backed by robust data processing in the cloud.
Explore Our Scanning Solutions
Plastic Sorting
Identify plastic types (e.g. PE, PP, ABS, PET, PVC, PA6 & PA6.6) on the spot using the trinamiX PAL One. Distinguish between common packaging materials, technical plastics, and recyclability-critical properties.
- Handheld analysis for recycling lines and manual sorting
- Works with solid parts, foils, and granulates
- App: 10 Plastics, Plastics Max
Recyclability / APR Reflectivity
Check if packaging materials meet industry sortability standards based on near-infrared reflectivity. Supports eco-design and material selection workflows.
- Visualizes reflectivity % per sample
- Supports APR Design Guide compliance
- App: 10 Plastics Reflectivity
Multi-Material Film Detection
Determine whether flexible packaging films are mono- or multilayer. Quantify PA content in percentage to guide sortability and recycling decisions.
- App: Multi-Material Films
- Ideal for packaging producers and film converters
Compostable Plastic Identification
Identify bio-based and compostable plastics such as PLA, PBAT, starch blends, and cellulose acetate. Helpful for sorting and sustainability validation.
- App: Compostable Plastics
- Supports bioplastics separation in waste streams
Textile Sorting & Analysis
Identify common textile fibers and blends (cotton, polyester, elastane, PA 6/6.6, wool) quickly and easily. Available for handheld and semi-automated table setups.
- App: Textile Sorting, PA 6/6.6, Wool Sorting, Carpet, PU Mattress
- Supports recyclers and incoming goods control
Quality Control & Correlation Analysis
Compare production materials to a reference sample using spectral correlation (R / R²). Detect variations and confirm consistency in compounds and batches.
- App: Correlation
- Ideal for QA labs and incoming goods inspection
PE/PP Ratio Analysis
Quantify the proportion of polyethylene and polypropylene in mixed materials. Valuable for compounders, recyclers, and material developers.
- App: PE/PP Quantification
How It Works
- Scan the sample with the handheld NIR device
- Receive material ID or analysis in the app within seconds
- Export results via secure cloud portal
