  • Bulk material analyzer assembly including structural beams containing radiation shielding material
    Patent number: 8138480
    Abstract: A bulk material analyzer (FIG. 2) is variably constructed from an assembly of components The analyzer (FIG. 2) is the type that is used to analyze bulk material (28) transported on a conveyor belt (29) through an activation region (30) between at least one radiation source (element 11) and at least one radiation detector (12) within the bulk material analyzer (FIG. 2) The assembly includes a radiation-source box (11) for disposition either above the activation region (30) or below the conveyor belt (29), a radiation-detector box (12) for disposition on the opposite side of the activation region (30) and the conveyor belt (29) from the radiation-source box (11); and a set of stackable structural beams (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19) predominantly containing radiation shielding material and configured for stacking about the activation region (30), the radiation-source box (11) and the radiation-detector box (12) to prevent unwanted radiation being generated and transported to the radiation-detector box (12).
