APPLICATIONS

The ScanMin Analyser™ is a Gamma Activation Dual Response Analysis (GADRA) Elemental Analyser. The analyser uses a high energy Am241Be radionuclide neutron source, which irradiates ALL the material on the belt as result of the temporary excitation of the atoms in the material This provide opportunity to measure two physical reactions:

1. Neutron Inelastic Scatter (NIS)
2. Thermal Neutron Capture (TNS)

The source life is 432 years which ensures no source top up during the lifetime of the analyser.

This dramatically reduces the OpEx costs , Isotope administration and recalibration requirements.

The ScanMin’s patented double decker detector system measures the Gamma Rays emitted by the NIS and TNC reactions above and below the conveyor, compensating for any mass variation on the belt.

A modular system facilitates installation.

The system is safe, and radiation levels are so low that personnel can safely be next to the system while in operation . For additional safety an automated Source Retraction System automatically moves the Ambe Source into a shielded area during shutdown or for maintenance requirements.
