The Vanta Element analyzer delivers affordable alloy ID, and the Vanta Element-S analyzer adds affordable light element detection. Both models feature easy handling and a modern intuitive interface for users of all skill levels. Perform material and grade ID in seconds and easily compare alloys for scrap recycling and metal manufacturing.
Olympus Vanta Element Key Feature
Handle It with Confidence
Get alloy chemistry and grade ID in seconds with affordable XRF testing. The Vanta Element handheld XRF analyzer series provides elemental analysis for fast alloy identification and sorting in two cost-effective models:
- Vanta Element analyzer for fast, basic alloy ID
- Vanta Element-S analyzer adds light element detection of magnesium (Mg), aluminum (Al), silicon (Si), sulfur (S), and phosphorus (P)
Both models feature fast grade ID and clear on-screen grade comparison, giving you the confidence to speed up metal testing for scrap sorting, metal manufacturing, and precious metals analysis. Easy to use and easy to learn, the smartphone-like interface streamlines user training and the sorting process.
