Production processes in steel and non-ferrous foundries are frequently controlled and monitored with stationary metal analyzers. The
SPECTROLAB as well as the
SPECTROMAXx can be employed depending on the specialization, the number of casting processes and the semi-finished and finished products being produced. The
SPECTROCHECK is generally used by small companies.
The
SPECTROTEST,
SPECTROPORT and
SPECTRO xSORT mobile analyzers are designed especially for location-independent operation. The mobile metal analyzers can be directly integrated into onsite production processes. They help, for example, with material sorting, to ensure charge integrity for the correct material flow during further production steps.
Trace analysis of industrial waste water and liquids from production processes, e.g., of electrolyte and coating baths, is a typical application for the
ICP spectrometers, such as the
SPECTRO ARCOS or the
SPECTROGREEN, with detection limits in ppb/ppm ranges making them excellently suited to this task. But even for the analysis of the main components, ICP-OES achieves highest precision using the “nesting procedure.” The technology can be easily automated, making a high sample throughput and even unattended operation realizable.
