Bruker Elemental
S1 TURBOSD for mining applications
The Bruker S1 TURBOSD Handheld Mining
Analyzer is a fast and accurate tool for all
aspects of mining. It can directly make
on-site geochemical analysis of mine face,
drill core or prepared samples. On-site real
time analysis with the S1 TURBOSD will
boost productivity by reducing turnaround
times for results from days to seconds
comparing to laboratory analysis. The S1
TURBOSD allows fast real-time surveys to
quickly define ore boundaries and identify
areas of highest potential profit.
The key is the Bruker X-Flash® Silicon
Drift Detector (SDD), which offers count
rates and resolution far superior to
alternative SiPIN detector technology.
This makes for even faster analysis –
It takes only few seconds to make typical
mining analysis, that’s about five times
faster than previous generations.
Not only that, but the improved resolution
and count rates means lower detection
limits for all elements analyzed. Combine
that with Universal FP calibration which
can be used for all mining sample types
and you have one of the most powerful
handheld analyzers currently available on
the market. To complete our package, we
offer world-class customer service at key
locations around the globe.
The Bruker S1 TURBOSD provides rapid
and accurate geochemical analysis for all
steps of mining from ore exploration to
concentrate analysis.
Geological and Ore Exploration
The S1 TURBOSD can analyze
geochemistry of soil, sediment and drill
core samples in the field to guide and
speed-up the ore exploration.
Mine Mapping and Grade Control
The S1 TURBOSD can be used to guide
drilling operations and manage excavation
by measuring multiple samples on-site in
real-time.
Ore-body Assessment
Evaluate ore grade on-site without the
delay and cost of laboratory analysis. With
S1 TURBOSD, analysis results are available
immediately and need of the expensive
and time consuming laboratory analysis
can be cut by a factor of ten.
Analysis of Feeds, Concentrates
and Tailings
The S1 TURBOSD can be used to analyze
feeds, concentrates and tailings to monitor
ore enrichment processes or as a backup
tool for primary on-line process analyzers.
