ProAS Sampling system
The MINKON ProAS sampling system ensures exceptionally reliable and representative sample quality. Originally designed as an essential tool for the production of high-quality steels, it has now established itself as a valuable solution for all steel manufacturers who require a clean and precise material sample.
An initial argon purge at the start of sampling effectively removes impurities such as slag, cover material and Isolation powder from the filling area of the sample. Subsequently, a vacuum ensures that the sample is filled with pure melt, which significantly improves the measurement results.
Advantages of the ProAS system
- Higher sample quality - Argon purging enables clean, representative and homogeneous samples, ensuring more accurate analysis compared to standard samplers
- Optimized process control - Improved samples enable more accurate monitoring of analysis specifications, which improves the production of high quality steel grades
- Increased sample yield - The more uniform and cleaner sample surface reduces the need for post-processing and enables significant time savings further down the process
- Better filling behavior under difficult conditions - The ProAS system improves the filling process, especially at melting temperatures close to the liquidus limit. The risk of the sample freezing is minimized by heating the inlet area during argon purging
- With this revolutionary sampling technology, steel manufacturers can optimize their quality control, reduce scrap and increase the efficiency of their production processes
