In-Stream Analysers

CSIRO Minerals offers In-Stream Analyser, UltraPS. This is suitable for a wide range of industrial applications. It operates on high solids content slurries, with a submersible probe inserted into the stream to measure particles over the range 0.1 to 1000 microns. Getting the particle size right in a minerals processing plant is critical. The particles need to be ground fine enough that gold, platinum and other precious metals can be separated from the waste rock, without being unnecessarily fine. If the particle size is wrong, then precious metals can be lost to the waste stream, or waste rock dilutes the purity of the desired concentrate stream. An on-line analyser will get the same result as a laboratory analyser but in a period of one to two minutes instead of hours.
