MAYA cross belt analyzer is an advanced process control and real-time optimization solution for the mining and mineral processing industry.
The elemental analyzer measures the chemical composition of bulk materials on a conveyor belt, detecting all elements, in real-time, without sampling. They are used in mining, ore beneficiation (sorting, flotation), raw mix composition stabilization, sintering, quality control in potash, phosphate, coal, refractories, iron, copper, nickel, aluminum, rare earth, cement and other industries.
The cross belt analyzer does not produce any radiation and is thus fully safe. It can operate 24/7 in automatic mode under heavy industrial conditions.
Cross Belt Analyzer
Examples of Cross Belt Analyzer Installations
Potash Production
Technological Task:
Product Quality Control, Grade Sorting
Analytical Task:
KCl, NaCl, Mg
Financial Benefits:
• Higher recovery of potassium
• Additional earnings from high-grade fertilizers
• Elimination of quality claims
• Reduced consumption of water and energy
Environmental Benefits:
• Reduced consumption of water and energy
• Minimization of harmful materials in the final potash product and tailings
Coal Power Plant
Technological Task:
Continuous coal quality control
Analytical Task:
Ash, calorific value, moisture, volatiles matter
Financial Benefits:
• Increased efficiency in the generation of electricity
• Optimized coal blending, allowing the plant to involve lower-quality coals
Refractory Production
Technological Task:
Grade Sorting
Analytical Task:
MgO, SiO2, CaO, Fe2O3
Financial Benefits:
• Additional earnings from high-grade refractories due to extraction of additional high-quality ore
• Elimination of penalties for off-grade refractories due to rejection of poor-quality magnesite ore
Environmental Benefits:
• Decreased CO2 emission
• Reduced consumption of energy
Phosphate Production
Technological Task:
Prompt Process Control, Grade Sorting
Analytical Task:
P2O5, Bone Phosphate Lime (BPL), MgO, Fe2O3, Al2O3, Insoluble phase and Metal Impurity Ratio (MER)
Financial Benefits:
• Early removal of impurities
• Additional earnings from higher-grade product
• Reduced consumption of floatation additives and water
Environmental Benefits:
• Reduced consumption of water and reagents
• Minimization of heavy metals in the final product
