All advantages at a glance
Special pelletizing process
The pressing process is completely compatible with the requirements of the XRD analysis. Low pressing forces are applied to minimize orientation of the crystals. The application using the backloading process ensures especially careful handling of the sample without any adverse influence on the surface to be analyzed. This minimizes preparation influences and enables reproducible analysis of the sample composition.
High throughput
The special design of the automation with simultaneous sample processing guarantees a high sample throughput whenever required.
Reproducibility, avoidance of contamination
HERZOG’s decades of experience combined with leading technology guarantee very precise reproducibility of the sample quality. The special focus on cleaning of relevant machine parts prevents contamination of subsequent samples.
Compact design, scalability
The compact design enables optimum use of space without restricting machine maintenance. All components of the HERZOG automation are perfectly aligned and thus ensure optimum analysis results. The individual preparation steps can be easily configured and are therefore individually adapted to the requirements of sample preparation and specific material properties.
Fully automatic connection to the analyzer
Almost all XRD analyzers produced by leading manufacturers can be easily connected to the HERZOG automation. Analysis surface faces upwards and can be easily conveyed into the analyzer.
Design options:
- Loading magazine (30 to 300 cups)
- Output magazine for empty cups
- Automatic ring cleaning device
