Scantech’s GEOSCAN Elemental Analyser for the iron ore industry and TBM200 series microwave moisture monitor for the minerals industry have both been in strong demand over the last financial year, according to the company.
Sales to the copper industry increased with the supply of a GEOSCAN to a mid-tier company. Plant feed rate is controlled by utilsing the GEOSCAN’s real time analysis of high grade ore.
Demand in metal accounting applications, particularly in the platinum industry, has demonstrated the value these units can bring to treatment or high value ores.
Implementation of the AMIRA International P754: Metal Accounting Code of Practice will increase demand for these technologies in the international minerals processing industry.
Scantech’s core business is the development, supply and support of on belt analysers for the resources sector, world-wide. Scantech first supplied the coal sector in the early 1980s and now supplies a range of real time technologies to the cement, minerals, power and steel sectors.
Scantech is strongly export orientated. Nearly 700 Scantech instruments have been sold in 34 countries. Around 75% of these are installed outside Australia, but all units are built in Adelaide.
In the minerals sector, real time analysis allows mines to optimise all phases of quality control and process optimisation, from mine face to train loading, according to the company.
Immediate feedback of the quality of the ore to plant personnel gives real time data to control the operation. This proactive control allows maximum extraction of the in-ground resource, optimum beneficiation to maximise saleable product, and assurance that customer specification targets are achieved.
Scantech’s analysers have applications in a wide variety of ores and concentrates, such as iron ore, manganese, copper, bauxite, zinc, nickel, uranium, platinum, gold and phosphate, in addition to Scantech’s traditional applications in coal, coke and cement. Scantech’s products are used for real time elemental and moisture analysis, ash in coal, and carbon in fly ash.
These analysers can be used for bulk material quality monitoring, bulk sorting, blending, stockpile quality allocation, dust management, and numerous other process control and optimisation applications.
