OverviewLinear and fully automated sample preparation systems by Scott integrate linked machine modules to control and automate sample handling across crushing, splitting, pulverising and weighing stages, delivering repeatable, low-contamination workflows for laboratories and mining operations.
SolutionsScott supplies both linear and fully automated configurations. Linear automation is typically configurable from 10–40+ samples per hour for sequential workflows, while fully automated systems provide high-throughput continuous processing and can be tailored to site specifications and sample types.
