CE/UKCA
Operating principle:
NIR reflectance spectroscopy, within a band in the 1-2 µm range. On-board AI algorithms instantly interpret the results.
Algorithms & library:
state-of-the-art machine learning / AI algorithms included, no additional setup or fees. Own libraries can be created and materials added.
Cloud-enabled for detailed insights into scanning data, for operations and traceability.
Free iOS / Android app included
Identification speed: 0.5 s
Operating temperature: 10-40 C°
Operating max. Altitude: 2000 m
Connectivity:
Wi-Fi (2.4 GHz) for updates & connection to the cloud, Bluetooth 4.0 for connecting to the app.
App & cloud are included, as well as 1 GB of data storage and open-source communication library. Each PSMK2 can be registered to one account/e-mail.
The NIR scanner can not identify black plastics. Some very thin (< 10 µm) films can also cause issues although most films can be easily identified.
Wet and contaminated material needs to be cleaned and dried before scanning.

the workflow
1
Only a few steps are required to unpack and set up the scanner. The identification process can start immediately after turning on the scanner. A built-in battery allows continuous measurements for up to 6 hours without recharging.

NIR analysis is very quick and typically no sample preparation is needed. However, the accuracy of this technique is lower than a full laboratory analysis of your sample.
getting started
the scanning process
The plastic object is placed on the scanner.
The NIR sensor detects the plastic type and shows the result on the display.
Additionally the app with an open-source communication library can be used.
NIR analysis is very quick and typically no sample preparation is needed. However, the accuracy of this technique is lower than a full laboratory analysis of your sample.
