At the 2014 Annual Society of Mining, Metallurgy and Exploration
(SME) Meeting, Bruker (NASDAQ: BRKR) today announced the new online
multi-element analyzer S2 KODIAKTM. This new
tool uses X-ray fluorescence spectrometry to analyze the elemental
concentrations in ores and other materials on conveyor belts in
real time. Since information about the ore grade becomes
immediately available with the S2 KODIAK, mineral
beneficiation and ore blending can be optimized. This allows
substantially higher product grades, better cost efficiency, and
increased mine output. Based on S2 KODIAK results, miners
and plant operators are able to instantly adjust process parameters
and achieve higher recoveries without time consuming and costly
sample preparation. There are no delays waiting for results from an
off-site laboratory.

The S2 KODIAK design is the ultimate in ruggedness. All
of its components are sealed in a temperature-stabilized stainless
steel housing. The entire system has been developed to withstand
rough conditions, including shock, vibration, moisture and dust.
The unit will operate reliably in a wide range of conditions,
ranging from arctic to tropical, and from underground mines to high
altitude sites.
For operation in remote locations, the S2 KODIAK is
designed to run autonomously and maintenance-free. The S2
KODIAK starts analyzing instantly after being powered up. The
remote controlled unit connects to plant control software and feeds
results via TCP/IP. Maximum instrument uptime, Bruker’s worldwide
service and support network, along with Bruker’s expertise in the
analytical X-ray field support continuous 24/7 operation. In
contrast to neutron activation analysis technology, the S2
KODIAK requires no radioactive sources, thereby enhancing
worker safety and ensuring easy integration into mining
operations.
“With the S2 KODIAK online analyzer, Bruker extends its
portfolio of laboratory and hand-held XRF instruments even further
into the online process-control environment. We can now offer
elemental analysis solutions for every step in the mining process.
The positive feedback we have received from users at our first
S2 KODIAK test installations demonstrate its power for
enhancing mining operations and delivering increased yield in
minerals beneficiation,” stated Dr. Karsten Knorr, Bruker AXS
Division Market Manager for X-ray Mineralogy.
