ARP-1C, 2C: for mining masters
Quality management of mined ore
As a rule, managing the quality of mined ores is a solution to two problems.
Task 1 — increasing the amount of useful elements in the mass of mined ores.
Task 2 is to ensure a flow to the processing plant, which is stable in terms of its quality.
The highest quality of ores can be achieved only under one condition, if it is possible to quickly obtain reliable data on the quality of the resulting raw materials at any stage of the flow.
Full control
To achieve the highest quality, it is necessary to provide control points at each operational point of the system, both the quality of the mined ore and its quantity.
Most factories use mechanical or manual testing methods. Each of these methods has its own disadvantages. For example, with regard to the mechanical method, its weak point is the presence of a flow of large pieces, as well as all kinds of fragments of wire and fittings. All this causes irreparable damage and reduces the service life of automatic samplers.
As for the manual method, a significant disadvantage of this method is the large labor and time costs.
The weak points of both methods include the human factor, as well as the inability to obtain results in real time.
Purpose of the device
The device is capable of determining the amount of various chemical elements in rocks, minerals and ores in a stream. Online, the instrument is capable of tracking elements in the source ore over a measurement range of 0.05% to 70.0%. This, in turn, also allows for rapid response, increasing production efficiency.
Ore control equipment
Our company has a unique opportunity to offer its customers ultra-precise equipment, which is represented by such devices as ARP-1Ts and ARP-2Ts. It is very convenient that both devices use the same software in their work. They differ from each other in their sources of X-ray radiation.
If the ARP-1Ts device uses radioisotope sources, then the ARP-2Ts uses an X-ray tube.
Advantages:
Our devices have been designed and developed to operate in the most severe climatic conditions.
The ARP-1Ts device is capable of operating stably over a fairly wide temperature range: from minus 30 °C to plus 40 °C. Accordingly, it is usually installed in workshops and on streets where climatic conditions are far from comfortable. In places where it is difficult to work, where it is difficult to climb. The ability to function completely autonomously distinguishes this device from its analogues.
As for the ARP-2Ts device, its temperature range for stable operation lies from 0 °C to plus 40 °C. The X-ray tube in its design seems to be the safest solution in terms of protection from possible radiation.
It is very convenient that the identity of the hardware components of the devices makes it possible to easily convert the analyzer from equipment, for example, with an X-ray tube, into an analyzer of the radioisotope operating principle, and also, of course, vice versa.
Thus, given that most of the hardware components, as well as the methodological software of the devices, are identical, you can easily keep the uninterrupted flow of ore under control.
Operating features
There is a fairly common problem when large pieces or foreign debris in the form of rebar, etc. are found in the ore flow. All this can affect control and analysis devices, thereby reducing their service life.
Our specialists took this point into account, so they designed the analyzers in such a way that they have smaller overall dimensions compared to their analogues. Accordingly, mounting them above the conveyor belt has become noticeably easier. Taking these nuances into account, we have ensured that the heterogeneity of the supplied ore has less impact on the devices, extending their stable operation.
The weight of the devices does not reach more than six kilograms, and on the widest side they do not exceed 32 cm, therefore, their installation is possible in the most inaccessible places. Moreover, we also thought about the shape of the device. It is cylindrical, which means that all impacts one way or another occur tangentially, excluding and dampening the force of the impact and the impact on the body.
Potential
Our team uses exclusively innovative technologies in the field of applied nuclear physics in its work. Our research efforts are aimed at increasing the sensitivity of measurements and the accuracy of the readings of our equipment. Considering that we fully devote ourselves to the research process, gain a wealth of experience and never rest on our laurels, we are ready to take on even the most difficult tasks and complex problems that may arise on the conveyor belt.
Due to the ability to compensate for the influence of a change in distance on the measurement result, the device operates stably when the distance changes.
Automation of control allows you to obtain operational data on the quality of the ore mass, optimizing the operation of the entire enterprise.
Our offer
The in-line analyzer ARP-1Ts/2Ts is ready to measure the mass fraction of chemical components from sulfur to uranium in all products of processing rocks and ores, minerals, solid, powdery, liquid materials, as well as pulp density in technical streams. For example, this could be a conveyor belt, a slurry pipeline, etc. Moreover, the device does not even have to take a sample for this.
The main advantage of the analyzers is their versatility. ARP-1C is used both in a solid medium (charge, ore) and in a liquid medium (solution, pulp). This advantage makes it possible to use the analyzer at almost all stages of the production process.
Consequently, the entire mining and processing enterprise uses a single system of equipment, as well as uniform software and metrological support.
