Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. today announced the release of its third-generation Thermo Scientific Low Frequency Microwave (LFM3) moisture analyzer. The LFM3 analyzes moisture content and allows its operator to add water to mining materials, helping to reduce dust in mining operations. The newest generation provides improved, real-time moisture measurements and can be easily integrated and installed in a variety of mining applications.
“The LFM3 provides accurate, quick and cost-effective measurement of moisture,” said Tim Sennett, Global Sales and Marketing Manager, Thermo Fisher Scientific. “Yet it’s rugged, lightweight, easy to install and it’s also designed with high-performance, low-frequency microwave transmitters that can perform effectively in harsh environments.”
The LFM3 allows for the precise addition of water to control dust in operations where adding too much water can cause ore to become sticky, clog chutes and gum-up blind screens. It also easily integrates across Thermo Scientific material handling solutions that incorporate sampling, weigh feeders and elemental analysis through our Thermo Scientific CB Omni cross-belt analyzer.
Easily replaceable electronic modules make the LFM3 easy to maintain and its circuitry is designed to perform in areas with high microwave attenuation. Additionally, the LFM3 emits very low microwave power, making it EMC compliant in all countries.
