Rocklabs Automated Systems are all designed to meet customer’s needs / requirements. This concept has been developed over the last fifteen years. Many new machines and devices have been designed by Rocklabs to facilitate this concept. We continue to develop new ideas to improve the efficiency of sample preparation.

Our overall aim is simplicity of design and technician/operator friendly. Our design and construction of the system enables the system to be operated by existing technician/operator and maintained by existing plant fitters/mechanics. This minimizes the long term running cost and increases the ease of maintenance.

Each System’s layout will depend on sample details such as the type of sample, throughput quantity, weight and fineness to be processed per day/month/year. In addition, the degree of automation and the facility where the Automated System will be used are also critical to the design layout.

All Automated Systems are designed, built and tested in our factory. A full specification is required from the customer to determine the use of different machines and degree of automation required as well as possible integration in the future. To ensure success, Rocklabs requires customer’s samples to be tested. FATs (Factory Acceptance Test) are carried out before the System leaves the factory.

Automated Systems can allow for multiple samples or batches to be loaded at the same time. Operator handling is minimised. The entire process is controlled by PLC controllers, including lifters, conveyors, pneumatic actuators, crushers, pulverisers, vibratory feeders, including robots where necessary.

Over the last decade, Rocklabs Automated Systems have processed millions of samples, reducing laboratory costs and ensuring that high quality samples are ready for analysis.



Price and delivery
As each system is custom built, prices can vary from USD200,000 to several million USD. This includes installation, on site training, backup support and warranty. The design, manufacture, testing, shipping and installation, will take a minimum of 6 months depending on the scale of the project.
