Cement QC laboratories face demanding elemental analysis requirements to determine major and minor oxides in clinker, cement and raw materials such as limestone, sand and bauxite. The preconfigured Thermo Scientific™ ARL™ OPTIM’X Cement Analyzer for dedicated cement applications offers a powerful solution that delivers high precision, outstanding repeatability and stability. Featuring a compact, reliable WDXRF platform, the ARL OPTIM’X Cement Analyzer comes with factory-installed calibration using NIST™ standards for clinker and cement, making it the fastest turnkey solution available.
The ARL OPTIM’X Cement Analyzer provides all the advantages of wavelength dispersive X-ray elemental analysis at a fraction of the cost of higher-powered systems. Its innovative optics, small footprint and ease of operation and maintenance lead to a significantly lower cost of ownership without sacrificing precision or sensitivity.
- Ultra Closely Coupled Optics (UCCO) technology with power levels of 50W or 200W provides equivalent performance to much higher-powered systems.
- SmartGonio compact goniometer covers all elements from fluorine (F) to uranium (U) in sequential mode.
- Fast analysis of solids, liquids and loose powders with excellent spectral resolution.
- Configurable with sequential and/or simultaneous elemental analysis capability for added performance or speed.
- No water cooling or gas supply required (most configurations).
Ease of Ownership
- Reduced dependence on auxiliary equipment.
- No internal or external water cooling required.
- Detector can be configured to work without external gas.
- Robust, reliable and compact design.
- Significantly lower cost per analysis vs. high-power systems.
- Small footprint.
Goniometer and Multichromators
- Can be configured with a series of Multichromators for simultaneous analysis and/or with a SmartGonio with 3 crystals for sequential analysis and flexibility.
- Two fixed monochromator channels for specific elements can be fitted alongside the SmartGonio to reduce analysis time.
- Up to eight fixed channels can be selected in a simultaneous configuration for increased speed.
Recommended for
- Major and minor oxides in cement and raw materials such as limestone, sand, bauxite, ceramics, refractories, slags and sinters.
