CON-X provides continuous, non-contact and non-nuclear elemental analysis of material moving on a conveyor belt, helping mining and mineral-processing operations monitor grade variation and make more informed blending, beneficiation, and process-control decisions.
Designed and manufactured by Baltic Scientific Instruments, Latvia. Distributed and supported through an international partner network.
Laboratory analysis remains important for calibration and verification, but sampling provides results for selected samples at specific points in time. Material composition can vary between samples. CON-X adds continuous on-belt measurement to give plant teams more frequent information about the material moving through their process.
Monitor elemental composition of material moving on the conveyor, rather than relying only on intermittent sample results.
Use ongoing grade information to support blending, beneficiation, and operational decisions.
Measurement data can be integrated with plant control and monitoring systems using supported interfaces, subject to project configuration.
CON-X is a non-nuclear device, without the burden of nuclear licensing, safety and high costs.
CON-X complements laboratory analysis; it does not remove the need for appropriate calibration and verification.
The CON-X on-line conveyor XRF analyzer measures characteristic X-ray fluorescence from material moving on a conveyor belt. The system processes the detected signals to provide elemental measurement results over a configured measurement period.
The analyzer head is installed above or across the conveyor to measure the moving material without direct contact.
The detector measures characteristic X-ray fluorescence signals associated with elements in the material.
Elemental results and configured averages can support grade monitoring, process decisions, historical trending, and plant-system integration.
CON-X can be configured for suitable applications where elemental composition of material moving on a conveyor needs to be monitored. Application suitability depends on the material matrix, target elements, installation conditions, calibration, and measurement requirements.
Monitor elemental composition to support grade awareness and process decisions across iron-ore handling and processing.
Support elemental monitoring for chromite ore, ferrochrome, and related processing streams.
Track relevant elemental composition in manganese-ore processing applications.
Evaluate suitable applications involving copper, zinc, and other base-metal ores.
Assess selected impurity-monitoring applications, including iron content in industrial sand.
Evaluate suitable applications for slag and other metallurgical bulk materials.
CON-X system configuration is selected according to the material, target elements, conveyor arrangement, measurement objectives, and plant environment.
