Scrap Metal Sorting and Alloys analysis

Scrap metal sorting and alloy grade identification are some of the most popular tasks in recycling. The fire assay or lab analysis might take days, weeks or even months. But using portable XRF guns, you can make fast and efficient scrap metal sorting.

Scrap Metal sorting allows to identify alloys

Portable XRF (pXRF) guns allow to measure element concentration and alloys identification with the next alloy bases:
  • Alluminium
  • Magnesium
  • Titanium
  • Cobalt
  • Nickel
  • Copper
  • Zinc
  • Precious metals
  • Rare-Earth metals
  • Niobium
  • Lead
  • Zinc
  • Tin
Our spectrometers are calibrated for above-mentioned metal bases for efficient identification of a wide range of numerous alloys and scrap metals.

Handheld XRF guns Elvatech

Elvatech was established in 1989, and all this time was evolving and improving the product line. But the best scrap metal analysers are the next models:

ProSpector 2

ProSpector 3

ProSpector 2 is a model proved by time and recognized by customers as a perfect XRF analyser for scrap metal analysis. It demonstrates fantastic speed of more than 500,000 CPS count rate, adjusts pressure and temperature which is necessary for accurate results and works for 10 hours on one battery charge.
Protective capton and prolene films can be replaced with no tools when needed. This scrap metal gun measures alloys in seconds and is very light, ruggedized which is very useful for analysis in hard environment conditions.

ProSpector 3 is a newer, significantly advanced scrap metal analyser. It includes all the advantages of PrpSpector2. This instrument is lighter, faster, and has two CCD cameras for macro and micro-view.
It can work up to 16 hours on one battery charge, which is very important for in-field workflows. ProSpector3 is compatible with ElvaX TM PC software and offers advanced detector protection. ProSpector 3 is certified IP67 which means this is dust and waterproof. That makes it more ruggedized and reliable investment. It is the lightest on the market!

Benefits of pXRF guns for Scrap metal Sorting

All portable Elvatech XRF guns are suitable for fast and accurate sorting of alloys because:

  • ProSpector 2 and 3 are the lightest instruments on the market
  • Our XRF guns for scrap metal sorting are the fastest on the market
  • The spectrometers are also protected from dust and damages
  • A wide range of calibrations for accurate alloys identification
  • Cost-effective options

Investment into spectrometers allows you to save money and give you a portable lab for quick analysis anytime and anywhere.
