QCX/AutoSampling
The QCX/AutoSampling module provides automatic sampling and pneumatic transport of sampled material from the process areas to the production laboratory. Manual, semi-automatic, or fully automated send/ receive stations are available both at the process end and at the laboratory end of a pneumatic sample transport system. Sampling equipment for powder, granulate or and lumpy materials can be connected to the process send/receive stations, thereby ensuring fully automated procedures. Fully automatic slurry sampling solutions including transport and drying are also available.
The sample transport options also support automatic transport of metals samples such as iron/steel 'lollipop' or otherwise shaped metals samples.
Application
A typical project scope comprises a project specific selection of sampling equipment, the sample transport system, a PLC control system and the QCX/AutoSampling software. Sampling and sample transport equipment are sub-supplied from Pfaff AQS or other specialized manufacturers, while FLSmidth Automation as the system integrator normally delivers and engineer both the PLC control software and the QCX/AutoSampling software,  which takes care of the overall sequencing and supervisory control. When required due to the project complexity or magnitude full integration tests of equipment takes place prior to shipment.
