    can't tell the difference?

    There are different types of waste plastic recycling


    .


    trinamiX, ​​a wholly-owned subsidiary of BASF Europe, has announced the development of a new application for a portable near-infrared (NIR) spectrometer solution for plastic sorting and recycling


    .


    With trinamiX technology, ordinary users can also detect different plastic components


    .


    What is Near Infrared Spectroscopy?

    What is Near Infrared Spectroscopy?

    Near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy is an optical analysis method used in many industries for quality control, process analysis, and material identification


    .


    trinamiX's portable near-infrared spectrometer enables advanced field data analysis via wireless cloud upload


    .


    Adrian Vogel, Sales and Business Development Manager, Spectrometer Solutions, trinamiX: "We have incorporated proven testing and analysis techniques into one portable NIR spectrometer


    .


    With the trinamiX NIR spectrometer solution, inspectors can easily identify all popular plastics in seconds


    .


    In addition, the device can accurately identify various engineering plastics, such as ABS (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene) and PA (polyamide), from a variety of compound plastics in the field


    .


    Unique combination of portable hardware, data analysis capabilities and materials expertise

    Unique combination of portable hardware, data analysis capabilities and materials expertise

    The trinamiX NIR spectrometer solution, publicly demonstrated in March 2020, includes a portable NIR spectrometer, cloud-based data analysis (chemometrics), and an app for displaying results and recommending actions
    .
    Spectral data for various plastics is stored in the cloud and can be matched with spectrometer measurements within seconds

    .
    The user receives the identified material name directly in the application

    .
    Measurement results can be displayed not only on mobile devices, but also on the customer's PC

    .
    This enables rapid on-site analysis as well as subsequent evaluations and downloads

    .

    Thanks to the flexible system design, trinamiX continuously adapts its solutions to meet the unique needs of customers and specific applications
    .
    Users can easily upgrade their trinamiX NIR solution to incorporate new material identification spectra or new applications, take advantage of continuous improvement, and save on new hardware

    .

    Add value to users without increasing costs

    Add value to users without increasing costs

    The trinamiX solution has the advantage of rapid identification and is a good decision aid
    .
    In the plastic recycling industry, its target customers are companies that do not require large stationary sorting equipment, but rather flexible mobile solutions, such as recycling stations, waste plants and manufacturers of recycled products

    .
    The solution is also suitable for demolition companies and large dealers

    .

    Talking about the benefits of the solution for the environment and users, Adrian Vogel said: "If valuable plastic waste can be sorted locally and collected separately, then the cost of transporting to a central sorting plant can be reduced, thereby reducing CO2 Emissions
    .
    In addition, pure plastic material can be sold as a resource
