Description
Álava Ingenieros has consolidated, together with Evident, as a reference in the supply of advanced solutions for elemental analysis by means of fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF).
Evident is a reference in advanced technological solutions in the field of microscopy, setting new standards in precision, innovation and reliability for the scientific and industrial sector.
What is an XRF Analyzer?
An XRF analyzer is a device that allows non-destructive elemental analysis by X-ray fluorescence. These devices identify and quantify chemical elements in a sample quickly and accurately.
Evident’s XRF analyzers can detect elements from Magnesium to Uranium, which makes them essential in sectors such as:
– Mining and geology: for mineral exploration and control.
– Metallurgy and recycling: for alloy and scrap sorting.
– Quality control: for positive material identification (PMI).
– Environmental analysis: to evaluate soil quality.
– Regulations: RoHS compliance.
Evident has developed XRF technology to suit the needs of the market with portable, desktop and in-line solutions.
Portable XRF: Ideal for field analysis, the Vanta series stands out for its ruggedness and enhanced sensitivity for rare earths.
- Vanta MaxHigh power (55 kV) portable analyzer, ideal for demanding applications, features a tungsten tube optimized for light and rare earth element detection.
- Vanta CoreStandard model, focused on fast identification of alloys with good accuracy and durability.
- Vanta Element: the most economical model for alloy identification.
Benchtop XRF: Equipment designed to work in laboratories and controlled environments, offering fast and highly accurate results. Ideal for precious metal analysis, they are widely used in jewelry stores and pawnshops thanks to their compact and sophisticated design.
In-line XRF: Systems designed for integration into production lines. They allow to automate the analysis of materials and alloys in real time, operating 24/7 for continuous quality control.
