It is a handy material identification device that allows anyone to easily perform plastic material identification tasks according to the same standards.
☆34th Small and Medium Enterprises Excellent New Technology and New Product Award "Excellence Award," "Special Award for Industry-Academia-Government Collaboration," "Special Award for Environmental Contribution" recipient ☆2023 Tohoku Region Invention Award "Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Award" recipient ☆Sales performance: over 280 units Plashiru is a handheld plastic material identification device using near-infrared spectroscopy. It consists of a sensor unit with a built-in reading sensor and a tablet that displays the identification results. Material identification tasks, which have often relied on the veteran's experience in terms of texture, elasticity, smell, and burning characteristics, can now be performed "by anyone, easily, and with the same standards." With the labor shortage due to declining birth rates and an aging population, as well as increasing turnover rates, securing and training personnel are urgent issues. However, Plashiru, which is easy to carry and can be used anywhere, is also expected to be a valuable tool for on-site training. ★We are currently seeking new applications for Plashiru! By utilizing the "Pro Mode" mentioned later, there is potential for sorting materials other than plastics. We are conducting demonstrations and sample tests, so please feel free to consult with us.

basic information
■Mechanism of Material Identification Near-infrared light is irradiated onto the object being measured, and the waveform of the light reflected by the object is measured. The measured waveform data is compared with the waveform data of 12 types of plastics registered in the database, and the material with the closest waveform is displayed. ■Identifiable Materials PS (Polystyrene), LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene), HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene), PP (Polypropylene), PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate), PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride), PMMA (Acrylic), ABS (ABS Resin), PA (Polyamide), PC (Polycarbonate), POM (Polyacetal), PBT (Polybutylene Terephthalate) ■Other Functions (Pro Mode) - Matching Function You can check whether a plastic "Material A," which is not one of the above 12 types, is the same material as another plastic. Material A is required during identification. - Library Registration Mode By pre-registering the names and waveform data of plastics other than the above 12 types, such as "Material A, B, C," you can check whether an unknown material X is the same as "Material A, B, C." The physical samples of Materials A, B, and C are not required during identification.

Company information
■Introduction Yamamoto Manufacturing Co., Ltd. is a machinery manufacturer founded in 1918 in Tendo City, Yamagata Prefecture. We have gained the top market share in Japan for agricultural machinery, particularly grain dryers and straw cutters. "Because we are a company that has walked alongside agriculture, we want to contribute to improving the global environment that supports food production." This desire, combined with our cultivated technology, led to the creation of the polystyrene reduction machine "High Melter." Through the provision of our products, we aim to create a bright future for the industry together with those who are challenging themselves in the recycling industry (*). That is our mission. ■Thoughts on Development The concept of a "circular economy," which views discarded items as resources and aims to circulate resources without generating waste, is gaining attention. However, the recycling industry (*), which plays a significant role in this, does not receive much public interest, and many companies are struggling with labor shortages. Through manufacturing, we want to shine a spotlight on this industry and bring about change. This is the sentiment embedded in all the environmental equipment produced by Yamamoto Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (*) In contrast to the "arterial industries" that produce goods, industries that collect, recycle, reuse, process, and dispose of waste are referred to as "venous industries," likening them to the circulation of blood in the human body.
