Think "Different"!
Challenge conventional sample processing.
IMP in collaboration with MIRS, offer a robotic sampling solution which provides safe, fast, accurate and reliable method for sampling from trucks or train cars loaded with mineral concentrates.
While belt end sampling is always the preferred method of sampling, often plant constraints or certain brownfields projects do not allow for this, and it may not be practical to sample at the end of a conveyor. It may also be a requirement to be able to do direct truck or train sampling. Typical applications include concentrate deliveries to a toll smelter or raw materials delivery to a steel plant.
These automated sampling systems allow full integration of the sampling system to an automated robotic laboratory. Some of the process steps such as compositing, rapid drying, crushing and splitting, may be carried out at the sampling station prior to the sample being automatically transported to the laboratory for analysis.
These systems preserve the economic value of your product by ensuring sample quality which improves concentration estimation accuracy and precision.
