The Evacuable Pellet Die is a sturdy, reliable essential for the production of XRF sample pellets. However, the new Specac Apex® Quick Release Die greatly increases speed and consistency of producing sample pellets for X-ray Fluorescent Spectroscopic analysis.
The Apex® seamlessly ejects pellets after compression, especially when used in conjunction with the Autotouch automatic hydraulic press, which includes a pellet ejection stage in its load cycle software.
Unlike the classic die, which requires the user to manually detach all parts and awkwardly retrieve the pellet by hand, the Apex® presents the die without user interaction. The pellet can be easily retrieved and analysed, without risk to its quality.
Die | Time for 3 cycles | Average for 1 cycle |
---|---|---|
GS26103 40mm Atlas Std XRF | 13:10 | 4:23 |
GS26301 40mm Apex QR | 9:20 | 3:06 |
