Model 1500 Natural Gamma Minerals Monitor

The Model 1500 is an economical on-line ore quality monitoring system which is easily installed directly under production conveyor belts. The system does not contain any nucleonic sources and therefore does not require site to obtain a radiation license for its use.

The Model 1500 uses the natural radiation signature of the material and known correlations with the composition to derive ore quality information. The precision improves with bed depth.

The major features of the Model 1500 Natural Gamma Minerals Monitor include:   

• Easy installation and simple operation
• No radiation sources - no requirement for licensing
• Underbelt configuration - suitable for coarse ore and high tonnage applications
• Fully automatic operation - no operator intervention required
• No mechanical moving parts - low maintenance costs
• Automatic electronic stability checks - drift free performance
• No operational upper limit to particle size or conveyed bed depth
• Flexible system interface to suit specific site requirements
• Non contact technique - no high wear components
• Superior total cost of ownership
• Designed for long product lifecycle

IRONSCAN Model 1500 is used to derive the composition of conveyed iron ores. It can be used as a dilution indicator to monitor quality of mined ore and provide feedback to mining operations. It can also be used to redirect the flow if unsuitable material for treatment is detected.  This technology has been found suitable for many hematite and magnetite ores.

GOLDSCAN is used for recovering gold ores from conveyed waste rock where the natural radiation signature correlates with gold content. Uranium, mineral sands and other ores with natural radiation signatures can be analysed using the Model 1500 Natural Gamma Minerals Monitor. 

The same technology is used in the COALSCAN Model 1500 to measure ash content in some coals at early stages of conveying so that decisions on treatment amenability can be made prior to stockpiling or feed to the wash plant.
