PANALYTICAL EAGON 2 AUTOMATED FUSION BEAD SAMPLE PREPARATION SYSTEM

Excellent physical and working condition. Just missing melting crucibles and molds. Aluminum table is included but optional.

A fully automatic, electric fusion instrument designed to prepare high-quality glass disks (fusion beads) for X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis. It features a dual-position furnace that allows laboratory operators to process two samples either simultaneously or independently.

Key Specifications & Performance:

• Throughput: up to 8 glass disks per hour
• Heating Mode: electricity-powered muffle furnace technology (no gas required)
• Temperature Range: 300°C to 1200°C
• Capacity: 2 independent fusion positions (synchronous or asynchronous operation)
• Electrical Needs: 220V / 32A / 50–60 Hz, single phase

How the Fusion Process Works:

• Loading: the operator places a platinum/gold crucible containing the sample-flux mixture into the holder, with a casting mold set below it
• Execution: the user selects a recipe from the pre-defined method library and hits start
• Agitation: the internal mechanism ramps up the heat, melting and mixing the sample with automated crucible agitation; releasing agents are automatically injected during the melt phase
• Pouring & Cooling: the molten liquid pours into the casting dish inside the protected chamber, where a multi-speed integrated fan quenches the sample, forming a flat glass bead ready for XRF

Core Benefits:

• High Operator Safety: features a "cold-to-cold" cycle with safety-interlocked doors, completely isolating users from moving parts, crucibles, and hot surfaces
• Spill Protection: built-in casting dish sensors detect a missing mold and stop the pour cycle to prevent instrument damage
• Contamination Control: mold and crucible holders are made from premium ceramic, minimizing cross-contamination during high-heat cycles
• Plug-and-Play Infrastructure: lowers overhead by eliminating the need for cooling water, external compressed air lines, or volatile gas supplies
