Product Overview
This industrial proximate analyzer provides comprehensive, automated determination of moisture, ash, and volatile matter in solid fuels, carbonaceous materials, and mineral samples. Built to eliminate the bottlenecks of manual thermogravimetric workflows, the system integrates precision automated weighing, controlled atmosphere thermal treatment, and real-time loss-on-ignition calculations into a single operational sequence. Laboratory technicians can execute complete proximate analysis profiles—either simultaneously or independently—with automated specimen indexing, precise atmosphere regulation, and computerized data acquisition complying with international thermal testing standards.
Designed for rigorous quality control laboratories, power generation facilities, metallurgical plants, and independent testing bureaus, this instrument handles routine high-capacity workloads with exceptional repeatability. By replacing labor-intensive multi-step muffle furnace and drying oven procedures with a closed-chamber, multi-crucible carousel system, the unit significantly reduces human operator intervention and procedural error. High-grade thermal insulation, imported furnace heating elements, and automated carousel mechanisms ensure high sample throughput and operational efficiency across 24/7 testing schedules.
Engineered for demanding industrial environments, the equipment delivers unwavering thermal stability and mechanical durability. Advanced mechanical motion components, paired with an integrated analytical microbalance, maintain precision measurements even under repeated rapid thermal cycling up to 1000°C. Whether processing raw coal feeds, coke, biomass pellets, or combustion residues, this analyzer delivers rapid turnaround times, robust baseline stability, and audit-ready data integrity essential for mission-critical procurement and combustion optimization decisions.
Detail & Parts


Key Features
- Comprehensive Multi-Index Determination: Capable of executing moisture, ash, and volatile matter testing either concurrently in a streamlined cycle or as standalone, dedicated routines to adapt flexibly to evolving laboratory testing protocols.
- High-Capacity Sample Carousel: Features a 20-position carousel accommodating 19 test specimens and 1 reference position simultaneously, drastically increasing batch productivity compared to conventional single-sample instruments.
- Advanced Imported Furnace Chamber: Equipped with a premium imported thermal core providing rapid heating rates, uniform heat distribution, reduced power consumption, and minimal thermal inertia during temperature transitions.
- Integrated High-Precision Microbalance: Incorporates an internally mounted, thermal-isolated imported electronic balance that records real-time crucible mass differentials without manual transfer, eliminating cooling desiccation errors.
- Robust Robotic Motion Drive: Employs an imported industrial-grade stepper motor and high-torque positioning assembly to execute smooth, vibration-free crucible rotation, placement, and lid-handling operations inside the high-temperature zone.
- Flexible Dual-Method Execution: Supports both the rapid test method for quick-turnaround operational decisions and the classic standard method for definitive regulatory verification and umpire analysis.
- Automated Atmosphere Control: Integrates gas switching and flow regulation for high-purity oxygen and nitrogen, establishing exact oxidizing or inert conditions required for accurate ash digestion and volatile matter thermal cracking.
- One-Click Software Operation: Features an intuitive PC-controlled interface where technicians simply load samples and click to initiate testing, thermal profiling, automatic data calculation, and comprehensive test report printing.
