XRF Technology for Operational Efficiency
1. SAMPLE COLLECTION
Samples are collected from the belt automatically using a cross-belt sampler
- Automatic operation using the plant’s distributed control system (DCS)
- No stopping or slowing the belt
- One sample every 15 minutes
The system can be designed to sampling and preparation standards, including:
- ISO-12743: Copper, lead, zinc, nickel
- ISO-13909: Coke
- ASTM-E877: Chemical analysis
- ASTM-D7430: Coal
2. SAMPLE PREPARATION
Collected samples are crushed to the required size
- From 15 kg to a 500 g puck
- From 50 mm to 4.5 mm (Crusher 1)
- From 4.5 mm to 200 µm (Crusher 2)
Coal/ore moisture content is recorded
Entire preparation process is automatically controlled and monitored
