Durability for Maximum Uptime and Profitability
Vanta™ handheld XRF analyzers for recycling and scrap sorting are IP65 rated to withstand rain, dirt, and dust and are drop tested using U.S. Department of Defense methods (MIL-STD-810G) to help prevent breakages and maximize uptime.*
Every Vanta analyzer for scrap sorting is optimized with software features designed to improve return on investment and help scrap yard owners ensure consistent data capture across their device fleet.
Each device comes with innovative and proprietary Axon technology so you get the right answer fast, for high throughput and productivity.
Cloud technology enabled.
With a standard package of 25 or more elements, confidently measure a variety of alloys and metals including:
- Non-ferrous alloys
- Low alloy steels
- Aluminum and light alloys
- Copper
- Precious metals
- Cart catalysts
- Electronics
- Glass
* M Series analyzers are IP64 rated.
Rugged
Scrap yards are tough on electronic devices, and accidents can cause breakdowns that cost time and money. Vanta analyzers are built to be tough and durable for increased uptime and a low cost of ownership.
For additional protection, the analyzers are drop tested (MIL-STD-810G) using U.S. Department of Defense methods, reducing the risk of damage and costly repairs when a device is dropped or jostled. Every Vanta analyzer is IP65 rated to withstand rain, dirt, and dust.*
Able to withstand a temperature range of -10 °C to 50 °C (14 °F to 122 °F), Vanta analyzers ensure you maximize uptime without wasting time waiting for your analyzer to cool, even in hot environments.**
* M Series analyzers are IP64 rated.
** With optional fan. The fan assembly is IP56 rated. Operates continuously at 33 °C without the fan.

| Scrap yards can be tough places, but Vanta analyzers are up to the challenge. |
Revolutionary
Vanta analyzers give you the same accurate result every time from your first test to your hundredth test.
The Vanta series’ proprietary Axon™ technology uses ultra-low-noise electronicsenabling higher X-ray counts per second for fast, accurate, and repeatable results.
With Axon technology, each device accurately identifies alloy chemistry and grade ID in seconds for fast answers and increased productivity.

Software features that deliver fast ROI
Vanta™ analyzers for scrap sorting have innovative software features that are optimized for scrap sorting to maximize the analyzer’s already outstanding capabilities.
Software Features for Greater Productivity
SmartSort automatically extends or shorten test times to save time and provide the best possible match for aluminum grades. With SmartSort, both new and experienced employees get the same right answer fast:
With SmartSort, Vanta analyzers:
- Provide aluminum grade results in as little as 1 second.
- Automatically lengthen or shorten test times based on material to save time.
- Knows when to extend testing to find aluminum in red metals or nickel grades.
Grade Match Messaging
Grade Match Messaging provides real-time and/or pop-up message sorting instructions for fast decision making.
- Real-time and/or pop-up messages with familiar trade or grade names or special handling instructions.
- Increase efficiency and throughput.
- Reduce user training.
- Streamline the sorting process by minimizing user decision-making.
Easy Grade Comparison
Compare close grades side-by-side to know which alloy is the best match with nominal and residual values.
- Automatically identify the likely presence of elements invisible to XRF based on grade specifications.
- Identify the presence of contaminant/residual elements in recycled metals that can compromise its value and/or downstream processing requirements.
- Set a maximum tolerated concentration for residual elements in grade families.
- Flag trace level contaminants without compromising or delaying fast, accurate, and conclusive grade matches.
