SCANMIN KUTSCAN ANALYSER

Several minerals and ores have natural radiation as the result of low levels of Potassium, Uranium and Thorium. The ScanMin KUTScan analyser incorporates the latest in digital technology to measure the natural gamma ray radiation of these elements. Physical reactions of gamma rays are captured by a large scintillation detector located directly below a moving conveyor.

The target element is calculated by correlation to direct measurements of the natural radioactive signatures of Potassium, Uranium and Thorium. The technology is suitable for un-beneficiated Run of Mine applications where correlations between K, U & T and analytes of interests are stable. A moisture analyser can be added as an optional extra.

The ScanMin KUTScan analyser can measure the bulk material on a conveyor belt

It is a rugged design that can operate in most industrial environments. The analyser has a wide range of applications.

Results can assist operators with:

ore grade control
bypass control
contamination monitoring (e.g. Potassium concentration to smelters) Real time elemental analysis enables active process

Possible applications

Coal mineral matter (Ash)

Determination of quality by reporting CV and Ash content
Moisture as an optional extra

Mineral applications

Direct measurement of K, U and Th
Other minerals determined by direct correlation to above
