A robotic sample preparation cell engineered specifically for the dynamic requirements of today’s mineral laboratory operations. The system is based on the bullet proof Essa LM2/LM5 pulverising mills. These mills have been the cornerstone of the assaying industry for 20 years and are used extensively on mine sites, exploration camps and in commercial and research laboratories around the world. Essa pioneered large capacity fine pulverising. This next generation system offers proven technology in an adaptable, yet uncomplicated, automated cell. Essa’s design philosophy
was based on developing a simple robust modular system that provides high sample throughput. The modular design simplifies transport and enables rapid onsite mobilisation. A number of options have also been developed to allow the end user to adapt the cell to meet specific requirements. These are easily retrofitted to suit changing workloads or application. Cell Functionality The Modular Sample Preparation system provides a high throughput, low cross-contamination option for large volume sample preparation applications. The system is offered with LM2 or LM5 pulverising mill configurations (MSP2 or MSP5). The cell equipment and industrial robot are seamlessly integrated with FLS Automation’s state of the art QCX/ RoboLab software. This PC-based software supports flexible and dynamic operation and control of the entire cell and optional equipment.
