Summary
The TR-A100 Raman plastic analyzer uses non-destructive Raman laser spectroscopy to identify materials at the molecular level. Already used in forensics, pharmaceuticals, and materials science, it enables precise, accurate identification of plastics—including hard-to-sort black plastics—supporting the high-purity sorting needed for advanced recycling.

How could Raman analyzers like the TR-A100 be integrated into existing recycling lines to reliably sort black plastics at scale without slowing throughput?

The TR-A100 Raman plastic analyzer uses non-destructive laser technology to molecularly identify materials. Widely used across forensics, pharmaceuticals and materials science, it is designed to enable precise analysis of a material’s chemical composition. The TR-A100 helps enable accurate identification of plastic materials using Raman spectroscopy. Effective plastic recycling typically requires high material purity, meaning materials […]

Our NIR sorters choke on black plastics, and handheld Raman mostly gave us D/G carbon bands or fluorescence instead of a clean PP/PE ID. How does the TR-A100 get past that at line speed, and what are you doing for laser safety interlocks and keeping the viewport clean on a dusty belt - air knife or purge?
