Meet the Next-Generation Vanta™ XRF Analyzers
Vanta™ handheld XRF analyzers for recycling and scrap sorting are IP55 rated to withstand rain, dirt, and dust and are drop tested using U.S. Department of Defense methods (MIL-STD-810G) to help prevent breakages and maximize uptime.*
Every Vanta analyzer for scrap sorting is optimized with software features designed to improve return on investment and help scrap yard owners ensure consistent data capture across their device fleet.
* M Series analyzers are IP54 rated.
Durability for Maximum Uptime and Profitability
Each device comes with innovative and proprietary Axon technology so you get the right answer fast, for high throughput and productivity.
Cloud technology enabled.
With a standard package of 25 or more elements, confidently measure a variety of alloys and metals including:
- Non-ferrous alloys
- Low alloy steels
- Aluminum and light alloys
- Copper
- Precious metals
- Car catalysts
- Electronics
- Glass
Rugged
Scrap yards are tough on electronic devices, and accidents can cause breakdowns that cost time and money. Vanta analyzers are built to be tough and durable for increased uptime and a low cost of ownership.
For additional protection, the analyzers are drop tested (MIL-STD-810G) using U.S. Department of Defense methods, reducing the risk of damage and costly repairs when a device is dropped or jostled. Every Vanta analyzer is IP55 rated to withstand rain, dirt, and dust.*
Able to withstand a temperature range of -10 °C to 50 °C (14 °F to 122 °F), Vanta analyzers ensure you maximize uptime without wasting time waiting for your analyzer to cool, even in hot environments.**
* M Series analyzers are IP54 rated.
** With optional fan. Operates continuously at 33 °C without the fan.
Revolutionary
Vanta analyzers give you the same accurate result every time from your first test to your hundredth test.
The Vanta series’ proprietary Axon™ technology uses ultra-low-noise electronics enabling higher X-ray counts per second for fast, accurate, and repeatable results.
With Axon technology, each device accurately identifies alloy chemistry and grade ID in seconds for fast answers and increased productivity.
Productive
For greater productivity, managers can create username and password sign-ins for each user.
The user interface is customizable so that the most frequently used tests and functions appear on the home screen. This setup is easily pushed out to your entire fleet so you don’t waste time setting up each analyzer individually.
Vanta analyzers maximize user throughput and make data archiving easy. Application-specific software features improve user productivity for a fast return on investment.
- Intuitive user interface (UI) to quickly navigate the device’s settings and software functions.
- Customize which software features and functions are displayed on the main screen.
- Data export is easy via a USB flash drive, Wireless LAN, or Bluetooth ® .
- Touch screen display that is clear, bright, and readable in any light.
- Ergonomic buttons and an industrial-grade, push-button joystick make it easy to navigate the UI with gloved hands.
- Optional 5-megapixel panoramic camera and a small spot collimator for detailed analysis of small pieces.
Software features that deliver fast ROI
Vanta™ analyzers for scrap sorting have innovative software features that are optimized for scrap sorting to maximize the analyzer’s already outstanding capabilities.
SmartSort automatically extends or shorten test times to save time and provide the best possible match for aluminum grades. With SmartSort, both new and experienced employees get the same right answer fast:
With SmartSort, Vanta analyzers:
- Provide aluminum grade results in as little as 1 second.
- Automatically lengthen or shorten test times based on material to save time.
- Knows when to extend testing to find aluminum in red metals or nickel grades.
Grade Match Messaging
Grade Match Messaging provides real-time and/or pop-up message sorting instructions for fast decision making.
- Real-time and/or pop-up messages with familiar trade or grade names or special handling instructions.
- Increase efficiency and throughput.
- Reduce user training.
- Streamline the sorting process by minimizing user decision-making.
Easy Grade Comparison
Compare close grades side-by-side to know which alloy is the best match with nominal and residual values.
- Automatically identify the likely presence of elements invisible to XRF based on grade specifications.
- Identify the presence of contaminant/residual elements in recycled metals that can compromise its value and/or downstream processing requirements.
- Set a maximum tolerated concentration for residual elements in grade families.
- Flag trace level contaminants without compromising or delaying fast, accurate, and conclusive grade matches.
Custom Device Setup for Fleet Management
Every Vanta analyzer for scrap sorting has software features designed to improve return on investment:
- Consistent data capture across their device fleet.
- Customizable UI for multi-yard and multi-user sorting operations.
- Unique username and password sign-in for each user.
