Real-time analysis across resource sectors.

Industries We Serve

Scantech works with industries where bulk materials move continuously and quality directly affects cost, performance and compliance.

Cement

Consistent quality from raw materials to finished product

Cement production relies on precise control of raw meal composition, moisture and blend consistency. Variability increases energy use, affects kiln performance and risks off-spec product.

Scantech analysers provide continuous, real-time measurement of conveyed materials, supporting tighter control of blending and processing.

Typical applications

  • Raw meal control
  • Limestone and additive blending
  • Moisture monitoring
  • Process optimisation

Coal

Continuous fuel quality measurement

Coal quality directly influences combustion efficiency, emissions performance and plant stability. Delayed or averaged sampling can limit operational responsiveness.

Scantech provides continuous on-conveyor coal analysis for ash, elemental composition and moisture, enabling stronger feed control across mining, power generation applications and metallurgical coal.

Typical applications

  • Coal quality monitoring
  • Ash and moisture measurement
  • Fuel blending control
  • Feed management

Minerals

Real-time insight across mining and mineral processing

Mineral operations manage variable ore bodies where changes in grade and moisture affect recovery and throughout.

Scantech analysers provide continuous elemental and moisture measurement to support blending, sorting and feed control across commodities including gold, base metals, iron ore and industrial minerals.

Typical applications

  • Ore quality monitoring
  • Stockpile management
  • Feed consistency control
  • Blending and sorting
  • Process optimisation

Recycling

Smarter sorting and material recovery

Recycling facilities manage highly variable input streams. Real-time visibility improves sorting efficiency and recovery outcomes.

Scantech systems measure material characteristics on the conveyor, and in bulk packages helping operators better understand and control incoming materials.

Typical applications

  • Feed material monitoring
  • Sorting and separation support
  • Process optimisation
  • Resource recovery improvement

Steel

Controlled input materials for consistent steelmaking

Steel manufacturing depends on consistent raw material quality. Variability in feed materials increases process instability and cost.

Scantech analysers provide continuous quality measurement to support stable, predictable steel production.

Typical applications

  • Raw material monitoring
  • Feed consistency control
  • Blending support
  • Process stability improvement

Frequently Asked Questions

How do Scantech solutions differ between industries?

While the core analyser technology is consistent, each industry solution is configured specifically for the material, conveyor conditions and operational objectives involved. Calibration models, installation approach and data outputs are adapted to suit the application, ensuring the information produced is relevant and usable for that industry.

Scantech analysers are best suited to industries that move bulk materials on conveyors and where material quality affects downstream performance, cost or compliance. This includes cement, energy resources, power generation, minerals, recycling and steel operations. Scantech analysers are also used on batched bulk materials and slurries.

Some operations span more than one category. For example, mining operations supplying fuel to power stations or cement plants. Industry categories on this page are based on how the analyser is applied in the process. The most relevant category is usually the point where material quality has the greatest operational impact.

Selecting the right solution involves understanding material characteristics, conveyor layout, process requirements and operating environment. Scantech works with site teams to assess these factors and recommend a configuration aligned to operational needs and long-term performance.

Yes. Scantech works with new projects as well as existing sites. Industry solutions can be integrated into new installations or retrofitted to existing conveyors and processes, subject to site conditions and requirements.
