RELIABLE AND TIME-PROVEN METHOD
The Fire Assay Laboratory is specifically designed for the precise analysis of precious metals such as gold, silver, and Platinum Group Metals (PGMs), utilizing the cupellation process. It offers comprehensive process expertise, helping users achieve optimal performance in both gold and platinum group metal (PGM) refining applications.
Cupellation is a refining process used to separate non-precious metals from ores or alloyed materials, enabling the accurate identification of precious metals. This process is conducted at very high temperatures under tightly controlled conditions. The cupellation furnaces are equipped with a range of control mechanisms and advanced features to ensure long service life and exceptional performance. The furnace uses high-power silicon carbide heating elements, providing durability and efficiency. Its robust stainless steel structure offers excellent resistance to corrosion and mechanical stress. Advanced thermal insulation helps retain heat effectively while minimizing heat loss to the external environment. An integrated electrical control panel ensures precise temperature monitoring throughout the heating process, reducing the risk of operator errors.
The system integrates all critical components required for efficient and accurate analysis into a single, cohesive solution. The polypropylene hood and working chamber ensure safe extraction of acidic vapors and gases generated during high-temperature processes, maintaining a clean and secure laboratory environment.
Complete glass equipment sets are provided to support all fire assay procedures, offering maximum chemical resistance and precision. The system also includes high-precision weighing equipment, essential for ensuring the accuracy of pre- and post-assay measurements. To support long-term, uninterrupted operations, the system package comes with a full set of spare and wear parts.
