Drying samples prior to weighing or pulverizing.
75°C - 225°C, 115VAC, 60Hz
45.7x55.25x35.5cm interior size
To image and record digitally the structure of mineral samples, under both natural and polarized light.
40X - 600X Infinity Corrected
Polarizing Trinocular Microscope
W/ Case + Mineral Slides Set
W/ Usb Jpg Image Digital Camera
3Mpixel Resolution
To weigh bulk samples of ores, concentrates and wastes for mass balancing flows and as part of analytical analyses.
75°C - 225°C, 115VAC, 60Hz
Capacity 2200 g, resolution 0.1g
To fractionate pulverized mineral samples in various size classes. A broad range of Tyler Sieves offer flexibility in particle sizes.
115VAC, 60Hz
To determine the level of acidity or alkalinity in mineral slurries for chemical analyses or to perform flotation tests on the same.
115VAC, 60Hz Automatic Temperature Compensation
To perform flotation studies on samples provided by mineral processing facilities. Can separate concentrates from tailings.
115VAC, 60Hz with 0.5L and 1.0L cells
Analytical scales are extremely sensitive and are used for fine measurements of mass on small samples.
75°C - 225°C, 115VAC, 60Hz
Capacity 220 g, resolution 0.001g
To cut and polish rock samples to mount on slides for microscopic examination.
115VAC, 60Hz
To reduce crushed minerals to a fine powder, possibly to sub-micron size.
115VAC, 60Hz, 20A with 500ml Grinding Bowl and 100 - 10mm φ Steel Balls
To reduce large pieces of rock (up to 2.5”) to a much smaller size. Usually a first step in reduction prior to grinding.
230VAC, 60Hz, 6.6A
Can reduce from 60mm to below 4mm
To perform fire assays, melt alloys or to calcine mineral samples.
115VAC, 60Hz, 15A
To provide fast elemental composition determination of almost any mineral, soil sample or alloy.
115VAC, 60Hz 50 kev and SDD Detector
To obtain highly representative sampling for mine grade control use during blast hole drilling. Can be used on both R/C and in normal production blast hole drill rigs.
24VDC, 6A, 600mm D x 900mm H, 55kg
The machines utilize the principles of a centrifuge to enhance the gravitational force experienced by feed particles to effect separation based on particle density. It is used for the recovery of fine particles of free gold, meaning gold that does not require gold cyanidation for recovery
