Automatic Product Sampler (APS)

Optimizing Power Plant & Mining Operations

flow process APS

Automated Sampling

Samples are collected from the belt automatically using a cross-belt sampler​

  • Automatic operation using the plant’s distributed control system (DCS)​

  • No stopping or slowing the belt​

  • One sample every 15 minutes​​

​

The system can be designed to sampling and   preparation standards, including: ​

  • ISO-12743: Cu, Pb, Zn, Ni​

  • ISO-13909: Coke ​

  • ASTM-E877: Chemical Analysis​

  • ASTM-D7430: Coal

Sample Preparation

Collected samples are crushed to the required size​

  • From 15kg to a 500g puck​

  • From 50mm to 4.5mm (Crusher 1)​

  • From 4.5mm to 200µm (Crusher 2)​

​

  • Coal moisture content is recorded​

  • Entire preparation process is automatically controlled and monitored​

​

Sample is ready for chemical analysis using X-ray fluorescence (XRF)

​
