What are cross-belt analyzers?

Cross belt analyzers deliver fast, accurate elemental data with unmatched analytical stability and safety. 

CNA analyzers are designed for industrial environments and readily interface to standard PLCs and common process control and quality control software.

Our instruments

The CNA analyzers are available in two models:

  • CNA Pentos
    This cross belt analyzer is the fifth generation of the traditional CNA configuration and is used primarily in cement other industries with lower material flows, smaller ore size, or tighter analytical requirements. It is a closed analyzer that encircles the conveyor belt with the neutron source below the belt. 

  • CNA³
    This cross belt analyzer is designed for minerals applications that feature wide conveyor belts with deep loads and large material size. It is an open analyzer that is installed below the belt with both the neutron source and the detectors in a single enclosure.
