USTECH TrueLine 17EC
The TrueLine 17EC brings fast, non-destructive, and laboratory-grade Near-Infrared (NIR) analysis directly to the point of need. Eliminating the latency of sending physical samples to centralized laboratories, the TrueLine 17EC operates seamlessly alongside the ProChem Mobile application and USTECH cloud infrastructure. Whether receiving raw materials at the gate, optimizing processing lines, or sorting polymers in recycling yards, operators can execute high-precision quantitative measurements and qualitative identifications in seconds.
Versatile Analysis Across Industries
Bringing fast and reliable NIR analysis directly to the point of need, eliminating conventional laboratory bottlenecks.
-
Feed & Animal Nutrition Rapid quality control from raw materials to finished feed. Enables instant on-site analysis of incoming grain shipments, feed ingredients, and finished pellets with multi-parameter calibration models (Moisture, Protein, Fat, Fiber, Starch, Ash).
-
Plastics & Polymers Recycling Fast material identification and quality assessment. NIR spectral information enables rapid classification of virgin and recycled polymers (PE, PP, PET, PS, ABS), flake sorting, and incoming raw material verification directly on the processing floor.
-
Textile & Fiber Identification Non-destructive fiber blend determination. Instant verification and sorting of natural, synthetic, and blended fibers without damaging expensive rolls or apparel samples. Eliminates destructive burn tests.
-
Chemical & Industrial Processing Flexible analysis and safe sampling for complex materials. Eliminates dangerous manual handling in hazardous environments while providing precise reaction endpoint determination and solvent identity verification.
