* M Series analyzers are IP64 rated.

Rugged

Scrap yards are tough on electronic devices, and accidents can cause breakdowns that cost time and money. Vanta analyzers are built to be tough and durable for increased uptime and a low cost of ownership.

For additional protection, the analyzers are drop tested (MIL-STD-810G) using U.S. Department of Defense methods, reducing the risk of damage and costly repairs when a device is dropped or jostled. Every Vanta analyzer is IP65 rated to withstand rain, dirt, and dust.*

Able to withstand a temperature range of -10 °C to 50 °C (14 °F to 122 °F), Vanta analyzers ensure you maximize uptime without wasting time waiting for your analyzer to cool, even in hot environments.**

* M Series analyzers are IP64 rated.
** With optional fan. The fan assembly is IP56 rated. Operates continuously at 33 °C without the fan.

Scrap yards can be tough places, but Vanta analyzers are up to the challenge.

Revolutionary

Vanta analyzers give you the same accurate result every time from your first test to your hundredth test.

The Vanta series’ proprietary Axon^™ technology uses ultra-low-noise electronics enabling higher X-ray counts per second for fast, accurate, and repeatable results.

With Axon technology, each device accurately identifies alloy chemistry and grade ID in seconds for fast answers and increased productivity.

Each device is configured with a standard package of elements to accurately identify alloy chemistry and grade ID in seconds.

Productive

For greater productivity, managers can create username and password sign-ins for each user.

The user interface is customizable so that the most frequently used tests and functions appear on the home screen. This setup is easily pushed out to your entire fleet so you don’t waste time setting up each analyzer individually.

Vanta analyzers maximize user throughput and make data archiving easy. Application-specific software features improve user productivity for a fast return on investment.

Intuitive user interface (UI) to quickly navigate the device’s settings and software functions.

With SmartSort, Vanta analyzers:

Provide aluminum grade results in as little as 1 second.
Automatically lengthen or shorten test times based on material to save time.
Knows when to extend testing to find aluminum in red metals or nickel grades.

Grade Match Messaging

Grade Match Messaging provides real-time and/or pop-up message sorting instructions for fast decision making.

Real-time and/or pop-up messages with familiar trade or grade names or special handling instructions.
Increase efficiency and throughput.
Reduce user training.
Streamline the sorting process by minimizing user decision-making.

Easy Grade Comparison

Compare close grades side-by-side to know which alloy is the best match with nominal and residual values.

Automatically identify the likely presence of elements invisible to XRF based on grade specifications.
Identify the presence of contaminant/residual elements in recycled metals that can compromise its value and/or downstream processing requirements.
Set a maximum tolerated concentration for residual elements in grade families.
Flag trace level contaminants without compromising or delaying fast, accurate, and conclusive grade matches.

Know when to extend testing to avoid overpaying for the wrong alloy grade.
