ARP-1C, 2C: Technical control department

Cost efficiency

Today, in most mining and processing plants, the analysis of ores and other technological products is carried out using the chemical method. This method is quite labor-intensive, as it takes a lot of time to prepare samples. After all, to check, you first need to take the sample itself, then it should be crushed, and only after that you can proceed directly to the analysis. As practice shows, in factories this process can take from two to three hours.

It would seem that we are talking about just a couple of hours, but let’s not forget that such enterprises operate around the clock. Consequently, during this time a fairly decent amount of ore passes through. This means that during the time spent on sample collection, sample preparation and analysis, the percentage of elements in the ore can change noticeably.

Now imagine that due to loss of time, the product came out of inadequate quality. This means that its value will decrease by more than twenty percent, which, of course, leads to economic losses.

Today, all mining enterprises are trying to adhere to modern trends. Namely, bringing the level of product quality to the highest level, reducing defects to zero.

One of the ways to achieve this goal is to equip enterprises with automation tools.

The ARP-1Ts/2Ts device, developed by our specialists, makes it possible to automate the process of monitoring all technological stages. What does this give? In production, all labor-intensive operations disappear. The device makes it easier for workers and significantly saves time. Our analyzer is capable of determining the content of elements in the mined ore, as well as in the concentrate, in real time. But saving time and eliminating unnecessary labor costs is not all that this device can boast of. It has established itself as a very reliable equipment that reduces to almost zero all possible errors when taking samples and determining the content of elements in primary raw materials and final products.

Our technology

Our equipment for mining and processing plants 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.

Device stability

The reliability of the devices and the stability of their performance, coupled with the ease of installation due to their modest dimensions, makes it possible to carry out tests at minimal cost (all that remains is to compensate for travel expenses).

During industrial testing, the analyzer readings are compared with the readings obtained during testing in the enterprise’s chemical laboratory. During such tests, fine tuning of the device is carried out over two weeks. After this, the tests themselves are carried out for about a month. After receiving the results, it is possible to accurately establish that the obtained indicators absolutely coincide with the indicators obtained during tests in a chemical laboratory. That is, the device shows absolutely accurate values. The process of industrial testing itself allows the company to personally verify the accuracy of all measurements that the device shows as a result.

Reliability and uniqueness of equipment

The ARP-1/2Ts analyzer is a unique device that organically combines various scientific and technical fields. This includes metrology, instrument engineering, mining, and physics. By and large, our analyzer represents a harmonious symbiosis of scientific knowledge and advanced technology, while remaining simple and reliable. All this is explained by the fact that even at the design stage, each methodological and engineering solution was studied and worked out as carefully as possible, in order to implement it in the simplest and most reliable way. And this, in turn, bore fruit: the device produces reliable and stable results.

Considering that our specialists deeply understand the physics of absolutely all processes of the device, it becomes possible to customize and configure it for each organization individually. As a rule, no two enterprises are identical, the processes in which are identical. All enterprises are different, all their production processes are different, so a very big advantage of the device is the ability to customize it for each enterprise separately, in order to be able to solve even the most complex problems.

Examples

The main result of integrating the ARP-1Ts/2Ts device into the technological processes of an enterprise is the fact that, having installed it once, the enterprise continues to use it in its activities for many years. And given the fact that it becomes possible to control all processes online, there is a significant economic effect.

If the quality of any product at any stage of the production process is lost, factory employees instantly receive a signal about this, which means they can immediately react and adjust the process according to new inputs.

If the technical control department of an enterprise receives the ARP-1Ts/2Ts analyzer into its arsenal, then it becomes the owner of a powerful tool that is able to instantly respond to the receipt of substandard products and reduce to almost zero the possibility of getting a defective final product.

Cooperation with us is a guarantee of reliability

Thanks to the knowledge and rich experience of our specialists, we will provide high-quality assistance in integrating the device into technological processes at the customer’s enterprise. The most important thing is to get a 100% result, and our equipment is capable of achieving this even in the most difficult operating conditions. Moreover, our service department will not leave you after purchasing and installing the device in production. We will answer any of your questions and solve any of your problems even at the post-warranty stage.

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. 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.
