TELLUS Industry – Description
TELLUS Industry is a dedicated benchtop X-ray diffractometer built for continuous, unattended powder analysis in industrial settings. It delivers rapid, accurate results around the clock, supporting high-throughput environments such as cement plants, mining sites, and materials production facilities.
Designed for seamless integration into automated workflows, it supports up to 800 samples per day and connects easily with LIMS or MES systems. With industrial-grade durability, built-in autosampling, and targeted application modules for cement and raw materials, TELLUS Industry ensures consistent quality control from raw mix to final product.
Unlike standard benchtop XRD systems, TELLUS Industry is optimized for large-scale, repetitive sample testing in industrial workflows. It is particularly effective for high-frequency phase and compound analysis in:
- Clinker phase quantification (alite, belite, aluminate, ferrite)
- Raw meal and cement composition monitoring
- SCM analysis (slag, fly ash, pozzolans, calcined clays)
- Hydration state evaluation and strength development
- Quality control of mining and metallurgical powders
- Automated inline or near-line LIMS-driven sampling
TELLUS Industry is engineered to meet the high-volume, real-world demands of industrial powder X-ray diffraction. Whether installed in a cement plant laboratory, a mining QC center, or a large-scale materials processing facility, it provides robust, reproducible results with minimal operator involvement. Its internal automation supports up to 800 samples per day, dramatically reducing manual labor and turnaround time.
Unlike general-purpose diffractometers, TELLUS Industry offers targeted capabilities developed specifically for the analysis of complex industrial mixtures. Its precision-engineered goniometer, rapid scan rates (up to 600°/min), and durable X-ray source ensure long-term, maintenance-free operation under heavy workloads. Smart autosampler integration allows batch-mode analysis and continuous feed operation to match demanding production cycles.
Specialized application modules and customizable measurement protocols make TELLUS Industry especially powerful for cement analytics — including quantitative phase analysis, free lime control, hydration state evaluation, and supplementary cementitious material (SCM) characterization. Whether analyzing raw meal, clinker, or final cement products, the system delivers precise mineralogical data essential for process optimization and regulatory compliance.
TELLUS Industry can be seamlessly connected to LIMS, SCADA, or MES systems, enabling real-time data logging and automated quality assurance across the production chain. Combined with its small footprint and rugged construction, the system is ideal for near-line or in-line integration in industrial environments, providing a future-ready solution for modern materials manufacturing.
