Drill core and cuttings analyses
Our fully automated measuring systems for drill cores and cuttings provide fast, precise analyses of mineral materials – directly in the process. Thanks to the combination of proven LIBS technology and an end-to-end automated workflow, they record the chemical composition of the samples in the shortest possible time – reliably, efficiently and with minimal effort.
Our analysis results can be linked directly to external information such as drilling depth, drilling feed rate or GPS data from the sampling if requested by the customer. The collected data is evaluated and visualized – for example as multidimensional element maps or as geological layer models for exploration drilling.
Key features:
- Precise analysis of drill cores and cuttings: LIBS technology enables high-precision analysis of the chemical composition of drill cores and cuttings at the microscopic level. This is crucial for the characterization of materials in mining, geology and research applications.
- Fully automated process: Our LIBS measurement systems are fully automated – from sample handling to analysis and results documentation. All steps are carried out without manual intervention. This increases efficiency, minimizes operating errors and enables uninterrupted, continuous data acquisition.
- High speed and throughput: By using powerful laser beam sources and fast detectors, the machine achieves impressive measuring speeds. Samples are analyzed quickly so that high sample throughputs can be achieved.
- Multi-element analysis: LIBS technology enables the simultaneous analysis of several chemical elements in the sample. This provides comprehensive information on the chemical composition in order to fully characterize drill cores and cuttings.
- User-friendly software: The machine’s control software is designed to be user-friendly and offers a wide range of functions for data analysis and reporting. Users can quickly access results, analyze trends and generate reports.
- Robust construction: The machine is robustly built to withstand the high demands of industrial environments. It ensures reliable operation even under demanding conditions.
Applications:
Our fully automated devices for analyzing drill cores and cuttings are ideal for a variety of applications, including:
- Mining and geology (drilling equipment, soil sampling technology, drill cores, drill cuttings)
- Exploration of mineral deposits
- Process monitoring and quality assurance in the drilling industry
- Materials research and development
Our machines enable the precise analysis of drill cores and drill cuttings (drill dust) – directly on site, in the shortest possible time and without the need for a laboratory. You benefit from a fast, flexible and fully automated solution that delivers reliable results and efficiently integrates the analysis process into your workflows.
