ScanMin Minalyser ™

The ScanMin Minalyser™ is a Prompt Gamma Neutron Activation Analysis (PGNAA) Elemental Analyser. The analyser uses a highenergy 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.

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. Each element will have a unique set of Gamma Ray spectrums for NIS and TNC. By selecting Regions of Interest (ROI) the ScanMin team can identify the Element and quantify its concentration.

The Minalyser’s design, high energy source and double detector system provides significant measurements and maintenance advantages.
