The latest generation of fusion units is designed to be modular. You can begin by buying a single station unit (FX1) and later expand the fluxer's capabilities by adding another unit and connecting it to the original one. This allows a single working station (FX1) to transform into a two station unit (FX2) or even a three station unit (FX3). When you consider that FX Fluxers are highly productive units, we have unmatched equipment. The FX fluxers signify a significant advancement over the familiar F1 and F2 models, specifically engineered to prepare glass disks (beads) for XRF analysis and acid dissolutions for AA/ICP. They swiftly and precisely create beads using Lithium Borates and produce acid solutions. Functioning efficiently at both high and low temperatures, you can customize your fluxer with as many as three modules, all operated by a single PC, while still allowing each module to operate independently.
The FX Series units stand out from their contemporaries by incorporating electric induction for heating, offering a consistent, rapid, and efficient approach. These highly automated systems manage and monitor every phase of the fusion process in real time, handling one (FX1) to three (FX3) samples, while ensuring that each module operates independently. The FX Series is equipped with an optical pyrometer aimed at the base of the crucible, providing continuous monitoring of the fusion temperature. Additionally, the robust interactive software collects and presents all relevant data, enabling precise real-time oversight and adjustments to the fusion process of each sample.
Operation
The FX Series employs induction heating, generating a high-frequency electromagnetic field within a coil, eliminating the need for flame or direct contact, and efficiently heating the crucible.
Efficiency
Induction heating is faster, more precise, cleaner, and more reliable than any other method. It reaches extremely high temperatures (up to 1200ºC) in mere seconds, with real-time adjustments that ensure complete control over the fusion process. The only components that heat up are the ceramic holders, minimizing downtime between fusion cycles since there's no need to cool large, heated surfaces.
Flexibility
Each module can operate in tandem with others or independently, running separate programs for different sample preparations. This flexibility allows users to start processing new samples as soon as a module completes its task, creating a continuous workflow that significantly boosts production efficiency.
Low Energy Consumption
The induction system accelerates heating while maintaining low electrical consumption, with peak usage at 9000W, even when simultaneously heating three crucibles and molds.
Enhanced Features
- Programmable Stirring Mechanism: Ensures better sample homogenization during the heating process.
- Optical Pyrometer: Continuously monitors the fusion temperature at the base of the crucible.
- Programmable Cooling System: Accelerates the cooling process for both crucibles and molds.
- Gas Extraction System: Enables installation without the need for exhaust hoods.
- Safety Features: The door remains locked when internal temperatures pose a potential risk to the user.
- Closed Water Circuit: The coil is cooled through a self-contained system, eliminating the need for water or refrigerants.
