A meteorite is a fragment of a comet, asteroid, planet, or meteoroid that survived its passage through outer space and the atmosphere to land on the surface of the Earth. Unlike the fleeting beauty of meteors that illuminate the night sky as shooting stars, meteorites are enduring relics from outer space.
Whether you specialize in scrap sorting, metal manufacturing, or precious metal analysis, an XRF analyzer is one of the most essential aspects of your day-to-day success. A faulty or damaged analyzer, inaccurate readouts, hand fatigue—they can all lead to downtime, mix-ups, and rework, which hinder your bottom line. You can’t afford to be anything but fully confident in the XRF analyzer in your hand.
We – Innov-X Africa – like everybody else, have had to take steps to avoid load shedding ruining our business and have decided to move from the office complex in Bedfordview, where we have been located for 13 years, to First Avenue, Dunvegan, which is a suburb that is part of Edenvale, Gauteng.
Portable X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and Optical Emission Spectroscopy (OES) equipment provider Innov-X-Africa has noted increased interest in its products from the steel sector, with salesperson Craig Bateman observing that the primary applications are for quality control and scarp sorting applications.
Our Vanta™ handheld XRF analyzer was recently featured on an episode of the popular History Channel TV show Pawn Stars. In the show, people bring items into the shop to potentially sell, trade, or pawn. Often, people don’t have a lot of information about the items that they’re bringing in. To determine a fair price, outside expertise can be required to get more information. That’s where a tool like the Vanta analyzer can help.
The new Vanta ™ GX precious metal analyzer is an affordable way to know the purity and composition of gold, jewelry, coins, and other valuables. Accurate, easy to use, and nondestructive, the countertop instrument delivers precious metal content, karatage and fineness in seconds so jewelers can confidently price the valuables they buy and sell.
Energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF), commonly referred to as XRF, is a fast, nondestructive method to measure the elemental composition of a material. But how does it work?
Aluminium Metal Recyclers have recently taken delivery of a new Belec In-Spect arc-spark optical emission spectrometer and an Olympus Evident Vanta handheld XRF, both of them supplied by Innov-X Africa, a supplier of portable and handheld XRF elemental analysis instruments for metals and alloys, mining and geology, scrap and recycling, environmental and consumer safety, education and research and general manufacturing requirements in Africa.
Recommended Practice 578 (API RP 578) from the American Petroleum Institute (API) provides guidelines for a material and quality assurance system to verify the composition of alloy components in new and existing piping systems. Following these guidelines is critical for safety since using the right alloy in the right component can help prevent accelerated corrosion or even part failure.
As a networking event for us as Innov-X Africa the SASSDA Bryanston golf day was very productive to be out and meet with the people in the industry that are in need of our analysers.
