Faster. Smarter. More Profitable.

The Light Metal Quick Sort (LMQS) mode, available on the Thermo Scientific™ Niton™ XL5e Handheld XRF Analyzer, is purpose-built for recyclers who require speed and accuracy when identifying aluminum and magnesium alloys and more.

Whether scaling operations or tightening margins, LMQS mode provides an advantage in a competitive market.

Benefits

Rapid Alloy ID

Sort within a few seconds: No delays, no guesswork! Instantly identify aluminum and magnesium alloy grades with the click of a trigger.

Accurate Sorting

Fewer errors, cleaner batches: Avoid contamination between alloy types to help maintain material purity.

Increase Profits

Maximize metal resale value: Correctly sorted alloys command premium prices. Avoid costly mix-ups and boost your bottom line.

Easy to Use

No expertise needed: A user-friendly interface empowers anyone to sort like a pro, no specialized training required.

Versatile

Evaluate multiple light metals: Identify alloy families of other light elements in various scrap types beyond aluminum and magnesium.

Portable

Analyze anywhere: Take the analyzer wherever the scrap is—whether it’s a yard, warehouse, or customer site —for on-the-spot decisions and zero downtime.

Smart Cooling for Peak Performance

Overheating can compromise analytical performance and damage sensitive components. The Niton XL5e features an advanced smart cooling system that actively manages the instrument's temperature. This ensures consistent, reliable results even during continuous use in hot environments, extending the lifespan of the X-ray tube and detector.
