Scope of supply: an automated 4 robot sample preparation circuit for copper blast hole samples with drying, crushing, splitting and pulverizing. The prepared samples are then processed in two unique cartesian robotic systems to provide total copper, leach test and acid test results. Copper cathode analysis is also automated.
"This Central Analytical Service Center (CASC) includes the first “wet chemistry module” worldwide to be operated by robotics systems to perform Total Cu, Acid Soluble Cu and a Quick Leach Tests (QLT). The CASC, which operates on a 24/7 schedule, represents the most advanced and automated chemical production lab in the copper industry and achieves considerable savings in operating cost, reduced sample preparation errors and significantly increased analytical quality." |
