Analyser for recycling applications

Niton UK has introduced a new analyser suitable for recycling applications. The XL2 XRF combines a tough, yellow exterior with sophisticated electronics to produce an instrument that is well suited to the arduous conditions often found in metal recycling yards and premises.

Developed by Thermo Fisher Scientific, it allows the user simply to 'point and shoot', providing rapid results that are displayed on a full-colour screen. Niton says that non-technical personnel will be able to operate the instrument easily.

A software suite, provided with the instrument, allows the analyser to be customised, including setting user permissions, producing bespoke reports, and creating personalised certificates. It also allows simple data transfer to a PC or similar using connections via USB cable or Bluetooth technology to make communication of the results and subsequent analysis or print out quick and efficient.
