IC-17H Handheld NIR Spectrometer | Portable Plastic & Material Identification
IC-17H Handheld NIR Spectrometer | Portable Plastic & Material Identification
Handheld Near-Infrared Spectrometer
Identify plastics and materials in 1–3 seconds. Compact, gun-grip design with a 900–1700 nm InGaAs detector — built for recycling lines, quality control, and field inspection without lab infrastructure.
Key Capabilities
Instant Plastic Identification
Identifies ABS, PE, PET, POM, PP, PVC and more in 1–3 seconds. Continuously updated material library for expanding coverage.
Non-Destructive Analysis
NIR spectroscopy requires no sample preparation, no reagents, and no damage to the material — measure directly on the surface.
High-Performance InGaAs Detector
900–1700 nm spectral range with high sensitivity and resolution for reliable discrimination between similar polymer types.
Truly Portable Design
At 1.4 kg with a gun-grip form factor, the IC-17H is designed for continuous handheld use on production lines, sorting facilities, and field sites.
Intuitive Touch Interface
Built-in touchscreen with one-tap measurement. Results displayed immediately with material name and confidence level — no spectroscopy expertise required.
Expandable Library
Open material database supports custom additions. Add proprietary materials or new polymer grades as your application evolves.
Application Areas
Deployed across recycling, manufacturing, and quality assurance environments.
Plastic Recycling
Sort mixed waste streams by polymer type at the point of collection or on the sorting line.
Quality Control
Verify incoming raw materials and finished goods against specification without lab delays.
Customs & Inspection
Rapid material verification at border checkpoints and import inspection stations.
Manufacturing
Prevent material mix-ups on production lines with instant in-line or at-line identification.
Waste Management
Classify and segregate plastic waste for compliance with recycling regulations and circular economy targets.
Research & Education
Portable NIR platform for polymer research, teaching labs, and material science fieldwork.
