LSX laboratory scanner/sorter

Comex LSX type XRT laboratory scanner/sorter

Scanning system LSX  series provides a wide range of test possibilities to characterise and separate different materials. Use of XRT and XRF technology combined with Comex analysis software allows a wide range of analyses tests of minerals. Installed software enables for analysis directly on the LSX or send information to operator laptop. Installed analysis configurations enable carry out multiple analyses. This information can further be used for industrial scale sorting systems.

You can easily use the scan results you receive for:

Use of XRT and XRF technology combined with COMEX analysis software allows a wide range of analyses tests of minerals.
Automated handling system for analyses materials allows the full safety operated. This solution allows for 100% operator protection.
Installed software enables for analysis directly on the LSX or send information to operator laptop.
Installed analysis configurations enable carry out multiple analyses.

The Comex LSX scanning system provides another benefit. You can use the Comex LSX identification methods to separate such particles into two separate fractions. The LSX system will then serve you as a sorting device. You can then use this information in your industrial-scale sorting systems.

How does the Comex LSX scanning system work?

The following procedure can be used for most of the applications, where different materials should be identified and separated:

Particles must be placed inside the feeder (LSX-MAX) or or in a drawer (LSX-400)
In LSX-MAX The feeder places material on the conveyor belt and the conveyor belt transports the samples threw the sensors
The particles are scanned by all installed sensors
After scanning, the material is separate by mechanical sorting flaps and samples fall in to the separation cuvettes (LSX-MAX)
In the LSX-400, the samples remain in the drawer
Ability to scan material on a conveyor belt with the ability to return to the input position, with the classification result displayed on the computer screen, and specific particles illuminated with colored light (color light marking) to clearly indicate objects marked to be separated

The collected data is displayed on the scanner screen and each particle is described in the form of the statistical data showing which sensor provides the most significant difference between the particle groups. Consequently, the particles are gathered into the groups of materials, which are identified by different sensing techniques. These groups can be identified by a single sensor or their combinations. These calculations can also be done off-line (outside the scanner).

Choose a system:

LSX-400

Scanning unit
The material is scanned in the drawer
Scanning unit include: XRT, XRF, RGB, 3D

LSX-MAX

Scanning and sorting unit
The materials moves on a conveyor belt under scanning sensors
After scanning, the material is sorted according to the selected preferences
Scanning unit include: XRT, XRF, Gamma, SWIR, RGB, 3D

LSX MAX 400

More information:

Unit for analyse and laboratory sorting or unit for analyse and laboratory sorting, with capacity up to 250 kg/h
The particles are supplied at the inlet window manually by placing them on the slowly moving belt or the particles are supplied manually by placing them into feeder.
The particles are transported on the belt and analysed by different sensors, operator chose sensors from local unit desktop
At the end of the transport belt a simple rejecting flap is installed to divert the analysed particles to two separate containers, when the system is operating in the sorting mode. The containers are equipped with scales, thus both fractions can be weighted online under sorting mode, or each individual particle can be weighted in the scanning mode.
Applicable size range 5 mm-100 mm
Analysis of the material by scanning as the conveyor belt moves forward across all sensors, followed by a return to the starting position
Scanning unit made of a combination of stainless steel, standard steel, aluminum profiles
Standard paint for indoor use
Radiation protection system (the requirement of a fully shielded device is met, i.e. the residual radiation at a distance of 100 mm from any accessible external surface does not exceed 1uSv/h)
Feeding unit, Conveyor belt (with a width adapted to a minimum scanning field of 400 mm and a minimum feed speed of 0.3 m/s.), Separation unit (optional flaps or nozzles)
