X-ray Fluorescence (XRF)

Elemental Analysis, Process and Quality Control

XRF analysis – one of the best analytical techniques to perform elemental analysis in all kinds of samples, no matter if liquids, solids or loose powders must be analyzed. XRF combines highest accuracy and precision with simple and fast sample preparation for the analysis of elements from Beryllium (Be) to Uranium (U) in the concentration range from 100 % down to the sub-ppm-level.

Energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) is the best choice for dedicated applications in quality and process control with demands for ease of use and compact size. It delivers analytical flexibility for research and monitoring tasks.

Wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (WDXRF) is known for its unrivalled accuracy,precision and reliability. This robust analytical technology has made its way into all kinds of industrialapplications, such as cement, polymers, refineries, mining, and industrial minerals.

Achieve the next level of efficiency and product consistency in mining and coating processes with S2 KODIAK!

Real-time process monitoring is one of the most important measures to ensure products are manufactured cost-efficiently and to the desired quality.

At the same time, it is challenging to implement an analytical instrument into the process. This is where the S2 KODIAK shines! It works autonomously and maintenance-free 24/7, delivers immediate results, and the integration into plant control is flawless.

Applications include online and inline analysis of element concentrations and layer thicknesses in the natural resources industry, building materials manufacturing, coating processes, with Positive Material identification (PMI), and high volume bulk food processing.

In addition, working safety is an important topic; conventional systems are based on prompt gamma neutron activation analyzers (PGNAA) and require extensive radiation shielding and strict safety and security regulations. Not with the S2 KODIAK. X-rays are emitted only in operation; simple shielding and the safety circuit ensure the highest safety level, at any time.
