Overview

The Cement edition of Aeris directly probes the mineralogical composition of cement and its intermediates. This mineralogical information allows you to judge the physical properties to better control the kiln - for example, when using alternative fuels. 

It additionally facilitates the quality assurance of (blended) cements. The Cement edition of Aeris is an easy-to-use and automatable benchtop X-ray diffractometer for every cement plant.

Greener and more efficient

Strength, setting properties, hydration properties and chemical resistance of cement are directly linked to the cement mineralogy. X-ray diffraction is the method for a direct probing of these minerals in cement, allowing better prediction of the physical properties of the final product already in the production phase and facilitating a more efficient and greener production process.

The Aeris Cement edition is your partner at every stage of the cement production process, from raw meal, clinker and (blended) cement to the final product. 

Features

Seamless integration in automation 

  • The only automatable benchtop diffractometer for high sample throughput: Aeris can be connected with a belt or a robot for fast and automated sample processing
  • The power of combining technologies: our twin solution: Aeris and Zetium, provides full material characterization by adding information about elemental composition (determined by Zetium) to the phase identification from Aeris
  • Industry standard sample holders tailored to your needs: Collection of 51.5 mm sample holders and 40 mm sample holders

Fast analysis, maximum uptime

Rapid analysis minimizes feedback loops and allows early intervention for process optimization. Standard analysis time for clinker or cement is just 5 minutes.

Uptime of the analytical equipment is key for reliable process control. From the ground up, Aeris has been designed for maximum uptime.

Strong and robust

  • Rugged design: The only benchtop XRD instrument with external sample loading for ultimate dust protection of the heart of the instrument
  • Minimum of infrastructural requirements: No cooling water, no chiller, no compressed air - the only thing you need is a single-phase power socket
  • Industry-ready: Compatible with all common industry standards, from LIMS interfacing protocols to various industry-standard sample holders

An easy touch

The most intuitive X-ray diffractometer: with a built-in touch screen your results are always just a few taps away.
