X-250 XRF
Sciaps
The Fastest XRF for Alloys sorting
The X-250 SciAps is a portable XRF (Fluorescence X) analyzer designed from the ground up to be the fastest metal sorting equipment available. Result of more than 30 years of experience of our teams in the sale of analyzers to metal recyclers, it upsets the received ideas.
Advantages
- Sort 90% of your aluminum alloys in 2 seconds (including those with as little as 0.25% Mg),At Last…An X-ray gun that’s as good on aluminum as it is on high temps, stainless and turnings.
- The great performance you’ve come to expect on high temps, stainless, red metals, specialty alloys and turnings.
- Lowest cost of service in the industry. Tube or detector replacements are less than half the competition. At SciAps we view service as a loyalty program, not a profit center.
The X-250 measures Mg and Si up to 10 times faster than any other X-ray gun, with better sensitivity. Precise Mg and Si measurements are critical for highly accurate aluminum alloy testing. The X-250 measures Mg down to 0.25% and Si to 0.15% in 2 seconds, allowing a huge variety of aluminum alloys to now be precisely sorted by X-ray. And you still maintain the performance advantage of X-ray on other alloying metals like Cr, Cu, Zr, Zn, Mn — the strength of X-ray. For example Mn precision is essential to sort within the 3000 series like 3105, 3003 and other similar alloys. The same holds for small differences Cu, Cr and Zr that often differentiates 6000 and 7000 grades.
