Cross belt Analyser

Cement Analyser

Whether used for sorting or blending in the quarry, optimizing stockpile quality, controlling the chemistry of the raw mix, SODERN’s Cement analyser CNA™ - with all major elements including calcium, silica, iron, and alumina along with numerous minor elements and quality control factors such as LSF and C3S will make perfect management and control of the cement making process possible.

Extending quarry life . . . improving kiln refractory life . . . lowering the cost of fuel, electricity and additives. . . while dramatically reducing kiln feed variability . . .

These are just a few of the many benefits the SODERN Cement on line analyser CNA™ (Controlled Neutron Analyzer) has achieved in the production process.

Moreover, the newest generation of SODERN analyser, the CNA™ Evolution, can reliably provide real time analysis by harnessing the power of the most advanced spectral technique: PFTNA.

For years, SODERN has been the unique supplier of on-line analyser based on an electrically controlled source instead of a constraining Cf-252 radioactive isotopic source currently used in PGNA Analysers.

The SODERN CNA™ Evolution is the upgraded version of the SODERN CNA™ GenIII that integrates the latest in digital electronics and the new electrically controlled neutron source that has an increased lifetime that exceeds 50%.

The SODERN CNA™ Evolution meets all the requirements of the Cement Industry in terms of ultimate safety, superior analytical performance, unmatched accuracy, modularity, and environment concern. Today, more than 70 SODERN analysers have been installed around the world and proven by the world's leading cement producers.

COAL Analyser

As the only coal on line analyser that performs a full elemental analysis that includes carbon and oxygen, the SODERN Coal analyser CNA™ is the only commercial coal analyser that can accurately and directly measure most coal quality parameters without prior knowledge of the coal type.

Its analytical capabilities include not only sulphur and total ash ­ but calorific value, ash minerals, fusion parameters, emission factors as well in real time.

The Coal analyser CNA™ is highly versatile and can be used at a belt feeding a coal-fired power plant, a rail load out, or a preparation plant.

Applications include the accurate sorting or blending of coal to a target, controlling SO2 emission levels improving boiler efficiency by optimizing combustion parameters, and consignment analysis at the rail load out.

Minerals Analyser

Whether it is for bauxite, nickel, copper or iron ore, the versatile and robust SODERN ore analyser CNA™ contributes to the profitability in the minerals industry by optimizing stockpile management, improving the crushing operation, blending to a quality target or providing accurate real time chemistry data to control the processing plant.

The SODERN ore analyser CNA™ offers numerous cost-saving opportunities:

• replacing a sampling tower,
• reducing laboratory costs,
• improving grinding and drying energy consumption costs,
• reducing the use of flotation chemical agents,
• improving recovery, while avoiding material waste.

Multiple materials can be analyzed using the same ore analyser CNA™ by adding additional calibrations.
