Some coal operations need continuous ash monitoring but prefer a system that does not require a radioactive source. COALSCAN 1500 uses natural gamma detection to monitor ash content in suitable coal applications, supporting mine grade control, plant feed monitoring, product quality and blending decisions.
Maintain consistent coal quality and ash specifications
Reduce reliance on delayed laboratory results
Detect ash variability early in the process
Enable data driven operational decisions
Support stockpile management and blending strategies
The COALSCAN 1500 has been developed for coal mining, preparation plant and coal handling applications
Continuous operation in demanding industrial environments
No contact with the material or conveyor belt
Suitable for raw coal, washed coal and plant feed applications
Supported by a global service and support network
COALSCAN 1500 uses Natural Gamma Ray Detection to measure gamma radiation associated with naturally occurring potassium, thorium and uranium in ash-forming minerals. The approach provides continuous ash measurement without using a radioactive source.
Typical applications include:
The COALSCAN 1500 operates as part of a broader measurement and control strategy within coal operations.
It enables:
