RODOS Isotope-free ash meter

Description

The RODOS Ash Meter is a device intended for measuring coal quality in underground mines and at coal processing facilities. The RODOS system is installed on a belt conveyor and enables continuous measurement of ash content and mass of materials such as hard coal, lignite, brown coal, and waste materials.

RODOS provides:

  • Real-time qualitative and quantitative control of:
    • raw output and feed to the processing plant,
    • coal transported directly from the mine to the power plant
  • A wide measurement zone – ensuring high representativeness of results
  • No influence of material chemical composition or moisture on ash content measurement accuracy
  • Adaptability to industrial control systems
  • User-friendly software, customizable to the user's needs, with network operation capability
  • Integration with dispatch systems and production balancing systems
  • FULL OPERATIONAL SAFETY – CONTAINS NO ARTIFICIAL SOURCES OF IONIZING RADIATION
