S8 LION
Tailor-made for the Industry
Highlights
Elemental Analysis with XRF
The S8 LION´s simultaneous wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence (WDXRF) spectrometer provides the fastest time-to-result for process and quality control in the cement, minerals & mining and metal industries.
Based on multichannel technology the S8 LION delivers, for up to 26 elements, very precise and accurate results within shortest measurement time. For cement industry the S8 LION can additionally measure the free lime concentration in raw materials, intermediate compounds and final products. High savings on energy costs and reduction of the CO2 emissions are achievable with these results. For maximum analytical flexibility, the optional Multielement ChannelTM collects the entire spectrum of each sample, similar to an elemental fingerprint.
SampleCareTM ensures maximum uptime and productivity with the tube-above-sample setup to protect the S8 LION against all kinds of contamination. It also positions the sample with absolute zero tolerance for best precision on results.
Dedicated to industrial use, the S8 LION combines ease-of-use with highest analytical speed and highest reliability. The TouchControlTM interface allows easy, intuitive, failsafe operation without training. Several languages for the user interface are available including English, Spanish, Chinese, Russian and Portuguese.
The simultaneous WDXRF spectrometer S8 LION is the perfect analytical tool for rapid, precise and reliable process and quality control for the industry.

Applications
Cement, industrial minerals and mining
In industries with large flows of materials, enormous quantities of valuable raw materials are handled in elaborate processes. The task of process control and quality control is therefore clear: to deliver extremely accurate results, immediately and reliably!
For process control, the S8 LION’s sixteen element channels measure the 26 elements important to large-scale production of cement, industrial minerals and mining materials in concentrations of 100% to ppm.
For cement industry, this includes the control of raw meal, clinker, and cement. The spectrometer also optionally offers an unique XRD channel for free lime (CaO) analysis as it is crucial for the stability and efficiency of the oven process and therefore for keeping energy costs low and product quality high. All applicable industry standards, like ASTM C114, EN 196-2 and ISO 29581-2, are easily matched or even exceeded.
All applicable industry standards, like ASTM C114, EN 196-2 and ISO 29581-2, are easily matched or even exceeded.
Typical industrial minerals applications include the process control of alumina, bauxite, quartz, dolomite, iron ores and many more.
Metals
Configured for metal applications, the uniformity of the produced metal alloys has to be ensured. Here the S8 LION proves to be the best choice in terms of accurate results from the very beginning.
The instrument covers a broad range of alloy compositions and delivers accurate results no matter what the concentration. Its highly sensitive element channels cope with a dynamic range from very low traces to elements with high concentrations up to 100%.
Time always matters. Most especially, the production process of metal is time and energy consuming. Therefore, measurement speed is a crucial issue. With the S8 LION, time delay is minimized: It offers a fast approval of the cast sample or immediate results to calculate the exact tonnage to be added. Its intuitive handling, and the simultaneous analysis of the elements assure the most effective process.
Furthermore, the S8 LION offers best data safety: The most important elements, analyzed with single element channels are controlled permanently with a second simultaneous measurement using the spectrum from the Multielement Channel™ - the unique Dual Mode.
- Dedicated analyzer for process control in metals
- Ready to analyze solution for ferrous and non-ferrous metals
- Direct, non-destructive analysis of solid and pressed samples
