How can automated sampling and analysis of ore and mining materials be carried out?

Accurate chemical analysis can provide important data for enhanced mining operations, such as improving mining in mining areas and optimizing the allocation of mining

However, sending samples to distant laboratories can cause delays

An introduction to automated sampling and analysis on conveyor belts

The solution for automatic sampling on conveyor belts enables immediate chemical analysis of bulk mining materials, such as ores

• Real-time chemical analysis of mining feeds on conveyor belts

• Excellent sensitivity for detecting trace elements

• Up to 30 elements can be quantified in one measurement

• Key elements as low as 1 ppm can be detected

• Analyzes light elements including magnesium (Mg), aluminum (Al), silicon (Si) and sulfur(S)

Automate a three-step process of belt analysis

Here are three simple steps in this process to help you understand how automated band analysis works:

Collect samples

Use the cross-belt sampler to automatically collect samples from the conveyor belt without stopping or slowing down the conveyor belt

Prepare the sample

Crush the collected sample to the desired particle size

Analyze the sample

Analyze the prepared samples

The main benefits of automation belt analysis for mining operations

Automated belt analysis brings many benefits to mining operations, including:

• Fully automatic operation for continuous high productivity

• Can be seamlessly integrated into existing plants

• No use of radioactive material (unlike other methods)

• Direct analysis of the sample produces higher quality results than measured by conveyor belt

• Real-time measurements with laboratory quality levels

• Modular design for easy maintenance
