CNA cross-belt analyzers Smart bulk ore sorting

Take your mining operations to the next level Across the mining industry, pressure to lower environmental impacts, improve quality and boost profitability are driving the need for improved processes. Accurate elemental analysis in real time can help identifying areas of improvements. The CNA: • Allows direct and safe detection of variations in ore composition • Enables efficient stockpile management and fast counteractions • Ensures a homogenous output towards the beneficiation plant • Eliminates processing of low-grade ore or waste With our Controlled Neutron Activation (CNA), mining companies...

Why PFTNA makes your mining process more efficient Pulsed Fast Thermal Neutron Activation (PFTNA) uses an electrical tube to provide a pulsed flow of neutrons that interacts with the nuclei of the atoms in the passing material over conveyor belt. The atoms emit gamma rays at characteristic energy levels that are measured, identified and quantified elementally in the raw material. PFTNA as implemented in Malvern Panalytical’s CNA is pulsed neutron generation using deuterium-tritium (D-T) interaction. Ultimate operator SAFETY Unlike hazardous radioactive isotope-based units that continuously emit...

From copper to coal and beyond Thanks to its unique and individual designs tailored to the specific ores, CNA analyzers are suitable for a wide range of mining and mineral processing applications from extraction to pre-shipment quality control Given its wide calibration range, the CNA can analyze a wide range of iron ore – from underground to ground level. The elemental information it provides can guide mining operations to: Bauxite deposits are characterized by different qualities with varying Al:Si ratios (alumina module) and amount of total available alumina (TAA). To ensure efficient mining...

CNA family Two different designs... …to cover a wide range of belts and mass CNA3 Compact, this design is particularly suitable for very large belts (up to 2.6 m wide) and huge belt load exceeding 100 kg/m. Since all components are located underneath the belt, no obstacles in the material path, recommended in case of significant particle size variations. Thanks to the offline position over railings, performing maintenance is easy and doesn’t require belt stoppage. CNA Pentos is especially suitable for confined space and low belt load. With the neutron source and gamma detector located on both...
