TR-A100 Front Facing

Identify Black Plastics In Seconds - High-Speed Precise Batch-Sampling

The TR-A100 is a high-speed plastic analyzer powered by advanced Raman spectroscopy, specifically engineered to address the "black plastic" hurdle. Historically, these materials have been difficult to identify, often evading traditional sorting processes due to their light-absorbing properties.

By fusing Canon’s high-precision optical technology with innovative laser control, the TR-A100 delivers reliable identification of black plastics with speed—scanning up to 100 samples in as little as 60 secondsFootnote1. Designed for rigorous research and quality control, this system significantly reduces hands-on inspection time and manual effort for batch testing. The TR-A100 empowers teams to extract maximum value from previously overlooked materials, supporting a more resource-efficient and sustainable industrial pathway.
