SPECTRO xSORTXHH03 HANDHELD XRF SPECTROMETER Faster scrap analysis and sorting The key to profitable metals recycling: SPECTRO xSORT Over 400 million tons of metal is recycled each year worldwide. Recycling conserves precious natural resources; its environmental benefits in saved energy and reduced greenhouse gas emissions are also well recognized. Scrap metal in a raw, unsorted form has low monetary value; is bulky and expensive to handle and transport; and attracts low margins as a trade commodity. Manual sorting to identify higher-value metals based on appearance, magnetic behavior, and similar physical properties is labor-intensive, inaccurate, and unreliable. Fortunately, the SPECTRO xSORT handheld metals analyzer can take the uncertainty out of scrap sorting — and positively identify alloy grades in seconds. THE DESIGN, PERFORMANCE, AND SIMPLE OPERATION OF THE SPECTRO xSORT HANDHELD X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrometer make it ideal for scrap sorting. XRF spectrometry is a proven technique for metals analysis, popular since its introduction in the 1950s. Today’s XRF spectrometers are a standard tool for quality control analysis in most major metal processing facilities. ADD VALUE WITH ANALYSIS EASY SCRAP METAL SORTING BUILT-IN PROTECTION AND CALIBRATION The SPECTRO xSORT Alloy model delivers With SPECTRO xSORT, operators don’t have A shutter that automatically closes grade identification in seconds. With the to switch methods between samples, or the measurement window between even more powerful SPECTRO xSORT bother with helium flushes or vacuum analyses — to protect internal AlloyPlus, most alloys can be analyzed in systems. Its compact, one-piece 1.64 kg components — also functions as the 2 seconds. For alloys containing difficult (3.62 lb) design is optimized for easy use sample material for unique, automatic light elements such as aluminum, in the field, even in tight or less accessible iCAL standardization. All calibrations magnesium, silicon, phosphorus, and spots. loaded into SPECTRO xSORT are always sulfur, metal grade identification now takes ready for use. only 7 seconds!
