EQUILAB - Versatile Sample Preparation Equipment

These units have been especially designed to make glass beads (by Lithium Borates) for XRF and to undertake dissolutions (using acids) for AA and ICP. This is a modular unit. You can start with a single working unit and then always be able to increase the capacity of the same adding up to two more working units, all controlled from a single PC. Being highly automated units, it is possible to control and monitor in real time each step of the fusion process, from one to three samples, simultaneously or independently. The FX Series is one step ahead of the units of its generation, as it heats homogeneously, quickly and efficiently, by electrical induction, without flame and not needing any direct contact. Each of the modules can work synchronized with the others or independently with a different program each, for example when preparing samples of different nature.

The EQR-200 Vibratory Disc Mill is a milling equipment especially designed to obtain analytical granulometries of a great variety of samples, such as glass, earths, slags, metallic oxides, cements, ferroalloys, ceramic materials, amongst other. This unit is able to mill in no time an ample range of different materials, from the semi-soft to the hardest, fragile and fibrous. All the processes can be controlled via a digital full color screen. User-friendly and robust, it is a practically maintenance free equipment. Quick, easy to use, robust and efficient, it is also quite noiseless thanks to a careful acoustic insulation.

The EQJ-100 Jaw Crusher is a crushing unit especially designed for the primary reduction of semi-hard, hard, fragile and tough materials. It can quickly and strongly crush glass, earths, slags, metallic oxides, cements and construction materials, ferroalloys, ceramic materials, minerals and rocks. This is a very robust and simple unit, able to take in and reduce samples for years without practically needing any type of maintenance. Instant reduction of samples. Adjustable crushing size range.

The EQP-200 Pellet Press has been especially designed to obtain high quality pellets/tablets for XRF. This press can exert a pressure of up to 40 tons. Of durable and robust design, it is very easy to manage, efficient, and offers 5 working programs with single and double pressing cycles. An exceptional instrument. Keeping all the features of its predecessor (EQP-100), the EQP-200 also offers the possibility of making pellets of different diameters, just by changing the pressing tool. This device facilitates also the cleaning and maintenance tasks. Its versatility enables the unit to work also with different shapes of press tools, such as square, rectangular, etc.

The EQP-100 pellet press can exert a pressure of up to 40 tons, enjoying a robust and durable design. User-friendly, efficient, offering up to five working programs of single or double pressing cycle. Makes 40 mm pellets/tablets only. Very easy to manage, a comfortable display allows the user to digitally adjust the time and pressure. The double cycle pressing allows the release of occluded gases in the sample during the first cycle, ensuring thus the production of high quality pellets.

The EQP-30 Manual Pellet Press can exert a pressure of up to 30 tons. It is a robust and durable unit, very easy to use. An hydraulic system multiplies the strenght applied by the user with the lever, and an analogical gauge shows the pressure tons reached. This press includes a safety system that automatically releases pressure above 30 tons. By using varied pressing tools, we can obtain pellets of different diameters.

The EQM-402 Mixer Mill is a great ally when preparing samples for analysis, as it can mill, mix and homogenize quickly small volumes of sample. Especially designed for the final preparation of small quantities of hard, semi-hard and fragile samples - up to 50 ml -. This unit is able to prepare two samples simultaneously and to reduce them from an initial size of 0.8 a 1.5mm to a grain size of less than 10μ in a short time – 1 to 4 minutes -.

The EQP-1 Pellet Press can exert a pressure of up to 15 tons, it is very easy to use, and takes very little space. An hydraulic systems increases the strenght applied by the user with the lever and a and an analogical gauge shows the pressure tons reached. • High quality pellets in no time • User-friendly • Does not need electrical power • Analogical gauge • Compact and autonomous unit

Today the preparation of metallic samples is undertaken in many and varied ways - depending on the hardness of the metal -. Many times however it is necessary to previously heat the sample to soften the metal and thus facilitate afterwards the processing of the sample, whether by crushing or punching. The EQH-3.0 Induction Heater has been especially designed for heating lollipops and bars to soften them in a minute.

The great versatility of the new MultiEQP-100 makes of this unit an essencial instrument to treat and make metallic samples. Effective to cut, crush and punch metallic samples, it can also prepare press pellets to be analyzed by XRF. The objective of punching the samples is to obtain pins for their ulterior analysis in Elemental Analizers. The objective of the crushing is to achieve flat surfaces wide enough to undertake spark analysis. The touch-screen and the intuitive software enable the user to control easily the ample variety of operations the MultiEQP-100 features. The two magnetic sensors included in the left hand side of the working units allow the automation of all the working cycles.
