CarpeTell for Carpets
Grade-Based Pricing

A bale is only worth
what you can prove it is.

Buyers price carpet bales on confirmed composition, not visual estimate. CarpeTell turns "probably nylon" into a documented grade, pile and backing identified separately, in seconds.

The Problem

"Mixed nylon" and
"pure nylon" aren't
the same bale.

Buyers can't price what isn't proven

A recycler offered an unverified bale will price it conservatively, assuming the worst-case mix, because they're the one left holding the cost if it's wrong.

Pile and backing are different materials

A nylon pile on a polypropylene backing isn't pure nylon by weight, and recyclers who buy it as pure nylon without checking the backing get an unwelcome surprise at the processing stage.

Without grading, everything is one price

Sorting yards that can't distinguish fibre purity end up selling high-purity nylon at the same rate as a mixed-fibre bale, leaving value on the table on every load that's actually better than average.

Disputes happen after the truck has left

Without scan-backed evidence at the point of sale, a buyer's claim that a bale didn't match spec is hard to contest after the material has already been processed.

The Solution

Grade it before
you price it.

Pile and backing scanned independently

Two scans, one second each, give you the full picture: "Pile: Nylon 6 | Backing: Polypropylene", not a guess based on the visible face alone.

9 pure fibres, 3 common blends

CarpeTell distinguishes nylon 6 from nylon 66, separates wool and polyester blends, and identifies polypropylene backing, the resolution a grading system actually needs.

Sample the bale, not just the top layer

Spot-scan across a bale before sale to confirm consistency, rather than assuming the visible top layer represents the whole.

Logged scans settle disputes before they start

A timestamped composition record at the point of sale is hard evidence, for both sides, if a buyer questions what they received.

A Grading Framework Built On Real Data

From unverified
to provably pure

Grade A, Confirmed Single Fibre

Pile and backing match

Both scans return the same polymer family, e.g. PP pile on PP backing. The highest-confidence, highest-value bale category, with composition logged for the buyer.

Grade B, Identified, Mixed Layers

Pile and backing differ

Both layers are confirmed and known, e.g. Nylon 6 pile on a polypropylene backing, but the bale isn't a single-polymer stream. Priced and routed accordingly, with full transparency.

Unverified, No Scan Data

Visual estimate only

No composition data behind the claim. Priced defensively by buyers, and the first category to get downgraded or rejected when a load doesn't match expectations.

FAQ

Common Questions

Why choose a subscription over a one-off purchase? +
A subscription spreads the cost into predictable monthly payments, includes software updates, and can be easier to justify as an operating expense rather than a capital purchase. A one-off purchase gives you full ownership with no ongoing fees. Both options include access to the Matoha app and Cloud dashboard. Compare options →
How long is the contract for subscriptions? +
Subscription terms vary by plan. Please contact us for current contract lengths and flexible options — we can often accommodate rolling monthly or annual arrangements depending on your needs.
What is the cancellation policy? +
One-off purchases come with a 21-day money-back guarantee — if the device doesn't work for your materials, return it for a full refund. For subscription plans, cancellation terms are outlined in your agreement. Get in touch if you have any questions.
How long does delivery take? +
FabriTell, PlasTell and CarpeTell handheld devices ship within approximately 60 days of order. The S-Bench system has a longer lead time due to custom configuration — contact us for current availability. We ship worldwide.
Can I try before I buy? +
Yes — we offer a live demonstration where we scan samples you send in advance, so you can see results on your own materials before committing. All devices also come with a 21-day money-back guarantee. Book a demo →
Do the devices work without an internet connection? +
Yes — all Matoha devices identify materials fully offline. The AI runs on-board, not in the cloud. Wi-Fi is only used for syncing scan data to Matoha Cloud and receiving firmware updates, both of which are optional.
