Malvern Panalytical - X-Ray Diffractometers (XRD) - CubiX³ Range

CubiX³ is the preferred choice for industrial X-ray diffraction (XRD) applications providing the highest speed phase analysis for process optimization and quality control on the market. CubiX³ delivers exceptional analysis speed, reliability and reproducibility. Introducing new features such as high-intensity data collection and extra flexibility in sample handling for automated environments, CubiX³ can be set up for fully automated, push-button operation.

The initial investment in this platform is rapidly earned back because of the ease of operation, the independency of operators and safety for users when compared to traditional methods like wet-chemical process control or microscopy. Rapid measurement equates to real cost savings and rugged construction ensures maximum uptime of the system.

Analysis of the minerals present in an ore body optimizes mining and process operations such as flotation and separation, etc. By understanding and mapping precise mineral compositions, it becomes possible to effectively mine increasingly low grade deposits. CubiX³ Minerals is the ideal investment for exploration and control of mineral grading, processing and quality. By removing the need for intensive wet-chemical analyses, delivering better grade differentiation and decreasing the costs of ore beneficiation and processing, the initial investment in equipment is easily earned back.

The development of new, low-CO2 emissions cements has led to an increase in the need for compliant, operator-independent mineralogical analysis. CubiX³ Cement features a detector designed for rapid data collection and sample measurement takes less than five minutes. Specially configured for high-throughput production and process control in cement industries, the diffractometer can be integrated in an automation setup for a variety of sample types (e.g. 40 mm or 51 mm rings) and fed by a robot or a transport belt.

CubiX³ Iron is ideal for exploration and control of grade, process and quality. A high-speed XRD system, CubiX³ Iron, allows the use of standardless methods such as Rietveld mineral quantification. Cluster analysis of XRD data facilitates multi-dimensional compositional mapping of ore deposits and drill cores. Resulting maps can be used to identify regions of favorable mineral paragenesis for better definition of grade blocks.

The aluminum industry is known for its demanding production processes. PANalytical's CubiX³ Potflux has been the system of choice for this industry for many years because of its speed, ruggedness, quality and support. Delivering high sample throughput and rapid turnaround times, the system’s Industry software can be set up for fully automated, push-button operation while the rugged construction ensures maximum uptime.
