The Thermo Scientific™ AnStat-330 Online Sampling and Elemental Analysis Station is a high availability, low head loss solution for:
- Metallurgical accounting
- High-quality measurement of critical slurry streams in mineral processing plants
It features an integrated analyzer and a full-flow, multistage, representative sampler, delivering:
- Accurate real-time assays
- Enhanced control of flotation circuits, including:
- Flotation plant feed
- Roughing and cleaning circuits
- Final concentrates and tailings
🔧 Key Advantages
- Eliminates:
- Costly and unreliable sample transport systems
- Measurement lag from cycle time delays and cross-contamination common with centralized analyzers
- Delivers:
- Reliable and rapid response to process upsets and feed fluctuations
- Low head loss design, removing the need for sample pumps
- Simplified flotation plant layout and installation
⚙️ Operational Benefits
Use the AnStat-330 to:
- Improve processing efficiency
- Reduce life-of-mine OPEX for sampling and analysis
- Lower energy consumption
- Optimize reagent use
- Improve metal recovery
- Maximize Net Smelter Return (NSR)
📌 Key Features
- Real-time elemental analysis and composite sampling for effective process control and metallurgical accounting
- Very low head loss for simplified plant design – no sample pumps required
- Advanced EDXRF detector (Ca to U), with Peltier cooling for stable, reliable operation in harsh environments
- Versatile, compact system – easy to integrate into existing plants
- 24/7 high availability for both analysis and sampling
- Multistage proportional sampling, including final-stage hardened cross-cut sampler for representative samples
- Low maintenance – only moving parts in final-stage cross-cut sampler
- Final-stage sampler identical for both AnStat-330 and SamStat-30 across full flow range
🧩 Optional Features
- Pebble screen: Removes oversized particles from cyclone overflow; acts as backup to upstream primary screen
- Outlet distributor: Splits slurry flow into 2+ streams with defined volume ratios
- Upwelling/reverse flow sampling zone: Ideal for particle size analysis (with PSM-500)
- Vacuum filter: For use with composite sampling
