LOI 800 Automatic Loss on Ignition Analyzer
Benefits:
Loss on Ignition is used to measure the change in mass
as result of heating a sample under specified
conditions. It is often used as an auxiliary technique
supporting other analytical techniques such as XRF
analysis of fused beads. It can also be used to evaluate
the efficiency of a pyro-processing operation or total
organic carbon. The LOI-800 supports different time
and temperature settings defined for different purposes.
The unit is available in several configurations; as a
stand-alone unit for laboratory use, as an integrated unit
in an automated laboratory or as a containerized
process solution located at the process line. In the
stand-alone configuration the LOI800 can be equipped
with a 30 sample exchangeable sample rack.
Consistent Performance
Automated operations include sample dosing and
weighing, as well as handling, heating and discarding of
the sample. The system supports continuous
unmanned operations at all hours, only requiring the
occasional batch of samples and crucibles. This
ensures reproducible results with a consistent accuracy
regardless of who performs the analysis. Proper
procedures are always followed and the system
ensures full traceability regardless of who performed
the analysis.
Improved Quality of Work Life
When the mundane and unpleasant task of performing the LOI analysis is performed automatically,
the skilled technical personnel is freed up to do more important work. The automated process also
keeps personnel away from potential harmful fumes as well as the high temperatures of the furnace
and associated equipment. Hence, the solution improves not only the quality of the laboratory
results but also the quality of work life of the personnel involved.
Rapid Data Availability
Especially in the at-line configuration is it important that data are collected with minimum delay.
Automated operations ensure quick sample processing as well as seamless transfer of data. This is
achieved through the automated analytical process and by automatically transferring data to a
LIMS or ERP system.
Functionality:
Samples are received through a buffer rack, robot or process by-pass tube. The sample is then
dosed volumetrically before it is weighed and heated in the furnace. When the furnace process is
finished the sample is weighed again before the sample is discarded.
