Metso Full portfolio Courier 8X SL analyzer
Courier® 8X SL analyzer

Courier® 8X SL analyzer

Accurate monitoring, reliable results

The Metso Courier® 8X SL maximizes plant efficiency by enabling measurement of light elements with enhanced technology, while improving recovery and reducing impurity content in flotation circuits.
Benefits

Laser-induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) technology is used to measure both light and heavy elements for monitoring and control in mineral processing plants, enabling optimization of concentrate impurity content while maintaining the best possible recovery.

  • Accurate monitoring of changes in feed mineralogy
  • Improved concentrate quality
  • Improved recovery through early detection of process disruptions
  • Reduced need for time-consuming and labor intensive manual sampling
  • More efficient use of energy and raw materials

Applications

Iron ore concentrators
Online measurement of Si, Al, S, C, Mg, Ca, and other light element concentrations in feed and concentrate streams. Supports optimal product quality without compromising recovery.

Iron pellet plants
On-line measurement of Si, Ca, C, Al, and Mg before and after additive mixing.

Ni flotation from serpentinized ores
On-line measurement of Mg and other light element concentrations in feed and concentrate streams.
Optimal product quality without sacrificing recovery.

Laterite Ni concentrators
On-line measurement of Si, Al, Fe, and other light element gangue minerals in feed and concentrate
streams. Optimal product quality without sacrificing recovery.

Zn and Pb concentrators
On-line measurement of Si, Mg, Al, and concentrations of other light element gangue minerals in feed and
concentrate streams.

Sulfide gold concentrators
Measurement of S, As, and Fe in concentrate to optimize autoclave operation. Measurement of sulfides in flotation tailings to monitor recovery. Measurement of C to optimize carbonaceous matter removal.

Phosphate concentrators
Final concentrate quality control: measurement of P content and Ca/P ratio. Flotation recovery optimization and reagent control: measurement of P in feed, concentrate, and tailings. Measurement of penalty elements (Mg and Si).

Spodumene concentrators
Final LiO2 grade control and recovery optimization by Li measurement. Measurement of Fe in the final product. Measurement of other light elements e.g. Ca, K, Mg and Na..
