Description

With increased productivity and accurate results, get top value for your scrap to maximize your profit. Using Vulcan allows you to identify and analyze a wide range of alloys. It gives results on all common alloys including aluminum, magnesium, titanium, cobalt, chromium, nickel, and copper alloys as well as stainless steels, tool steels, low alloy steels and more.

Why is Vulcan the perfect tool for your business?

SIMPLE TO USE
Operate it all day long on a single battery and without referring
to a manual. It‘s ready to go straight out of the box.

PRACTICAL
It’s compact, ergonomic and light (1.5 kg), making it comfortable for daily use. The screen is easy to read, even in direct sunlight.

BUILT TO LAST
Its measurement optics are protected by sapphire glass, one of the toughest materials available. It’s also splash water and dust proof (IP54 certified, NEMA 3 equivalent), and complies with the MIL-STD-810G military grade standard for ruggedness.

SAVES TIME
A reliable grade ID in just one second. When sorting aluminum alloys, Vulcan can be up to 10 times faster than XRF analysis.

LOW COST OF OWNERSHIP
A much lower cost of ownership than an XRF analyzer, which requires licenses and radiation safety training classes.
