Second generation material ID system ideal for carpet and for plastics
Axsun Technologies recently introduced their second-generation Anavo material identification system. The system is based on the Axsun carpet analyzers that have been in use in the carpet recycling industry since early 2006. The new system is smaller and lighter than the original version, and is designed to insure reliability and longevity in the field.
The Anavo maintains the ability to be used in the vertical or horizontal orientation, making testing of carpet samples on the floor convenient, and was designed to minimize the risk of repetitive stress injuries. The system is housed in a high strength aluminum enclosure, and is sealed to protect against dust, grit and moisture. It can be powered by a quick-swap battery, or by AC power, and includes an automated calibration reference to optimize performance, and simplify operation.
Standard systems include eight LED indicators, for all the common carpet fibres, and a configuration with an LCD display is available for general purpose material identification applications, such as in post-industrial polymer recycling and other plastics, where a larger variety of materials is encountered. In all cases, the typical identification time is less than half a second.
The same core MEMS-based analyzer, high performance laser and sampling optics used in the original Axsun systems are maintained in the new system, ensuring highly accurate performance.
