1.1ProductDescription

TheVITRIOX®ELECTRICisafusioninstrumentforsamplepreparation for X‐ray
fluorescence analysis. Thefusionchamberisheated by systematically arranged
heatingelementsthatareisolatedfromthefusionchamber.Inthisway,itispossible
toachieveidealheatingofthefusionchamber.Temperaturedetermination is
conductedwithaspecialthermoelement.Thefusionchambercanbeheatedtoupto
1250°C.

Withthecoldtocoldoperation,eachindividualsampleexperiencesthesameenergy.
Rotationmixingenablesthemachinetoachieveideallymixedhomogeneoussamples.
Themachineisdeliveredwithaprotectivehousing(personnelandprocessprotection)
andamirrorontheceilingoftheovenforobservationoftheovenchamber.


Warning–GeneralDanger!
Beforeusingthesystem,besurethatonlyauthorizedpersonnelisintheworkingareafor
thesystemandthatnoonecanbeinjuredbyoperationofthesystem.Safetyequipment
mustfunctionflawlesslyandthesystemmustbeexaminedforvisibledamage.Shouldthere
beanydefects,thesemustbereportedtothesupervisorimmediately.
Thefollowingcontrolactionsmustbeperformedatleastonceaday(seealsoUpkeepand
Maintenance):
• examinethesystemforvisibleexternaldamage,
• checktobesurethatallsafetyequipmentfunctions(e.g.,EMERGENCY‐OFFdevice)
• checkallhydraulicorpneumatictubingforleaksandcorrectconnection(when
