Time to look at inefficiencies IMP has been involved in the field of laboratory automation for the past 22 years, and together with our customers have navigated a number of previous downturns of the commodity cycle. Our experience is that during this stage of the cycle there is an increasing focus on cost saving and greater efficiency. Increasing numbers of customers are adopting automated solutions to assist in bringing about these cost savings and efficiencies. While these solutions do require capital, often payback is in less than one year and the benefits are considerable. Frequently solutions do not involve large automations or even automation requiring robotics. We can offer simple semiautomated solutions that can significantly improve efficiencies in the laboratory environment. Please contact us to audit your systems from sampling through sample prep and analysis and allow us to provide you with a proposal on how you can significantly improve the efficiency of your facility using our state of the art technology. |

AMMTEC Invests in Automated Milling Solutions Ammtec is a Perth based publicly listed metallurgical testing company. Ammtec has recently invested in automated milling (pulverizing) solutions supplied by IMP. These include 4 HP-MA grinding mills each with 60 position magazines and two larger HP-M1500 mills each with 30 position magazines. The HP-MA mills are used for fine grinding (to nominally 40µm) of up to 100g of ore samples. The process involves loading of 1 to 60 samples in a magazine and pressing the start button. No further operator intervention is required. The mill sequentially automatically removes the sample from the magazine, loads the sample into the mill and pulverizes the sample for the predefined time. Once milling is complete, the pulverized sample material is placed back into the same sample cup and the cup is transported back into the 60 position cup magazine. The mill grinding vessel and sample input funnel is thoroughly cleaned using compressed air and vacuum extraction. This can be followed by a quartz flush and or water cleaning (optional). This rigorous cleaning ensures no cross contamination between samples. |
