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.

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

  1. Scan the sam­ple with the hand­held NIR device
  2. Recei­ve mate­ri­al ID or ana­ly­sis in the app within seconds
  3. Export results via secu­re cloud portal
