JC-X550 Portable Elemental Analysis for Soil, Ore and Metals

Portable X-Ray Fluorescence Analysis

JC-X550 Handheld XRF Analyzer for On-Site Elemental Screening

The JC-X550 is a portable handheld XRF analyzer designed for rapid, non-destructive elemental screening of soil, ore, alloys, and common metal materials. It enables teams to obtain material identification and elemental information directly at the worksite, reducing the need to send every sample to a laboratory before making routine field or quality-control decisions.

Designed for field and industrial work

• Soil and environmental element screening
• Mining exploration and ore evaluation
• Alloy grade identification and metal sorting
• Incoming material verification and local surface analysis

Field decisions

Analyze representative locations at a site to help guide sampling, classification, and follow-up testing priorities.

Material verification

Check alloy-related elemental signatures and identify possible material mix-ups before processing or acceptance.

Non-destructive screening

Obtain analytical information from suitable surfaces while keeping the sample available for further inspection or laboratory confirmation.

Soil Mode

For soil elemental screening and environmental field investigation, the soil mode supports a broad group of elements, including Mg, Al, Si, P, S, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Se, Ag, Cd, Sn, Sb, Ba, rare earth elements, W, Tl, Hg, Pb, and Bi.

Use: support field mapping, preliminary contamination screening, and sample selection for subsequent testing.

Mining Mode

For ore and geological material evaluation, the mining mode supports elements such as Mg, Al, Si, P, S, K, Ca, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Se, Sr, Rb, Zr, Nb, Mo, Ag, Sn, Sb, Ba, W, Ta, Au, Hg, Pb, Bi, and U.

Use: provide rapid field information for exploration, ore sorting, and grade-screening activities.

Alloy-Related Software

Available configurations can support alloy grade identification, carbon-steel impurity analysis, and sulfur-corrosion-related elemental analysis for metal processing and inspection workflows.

Use: assist receiving inspection, alloy sorting, material traceability, and local metal surface checks.

50 kV / 5 W

X-ray excitation system

A Rh-target micro X-ray tube operates at up to 50 kV and 500 μA, providing excitation conditions for multi-element screening tasks.

140 eV FWHM

High-sensitivity SDD detector

The large-area silicon drift detector has a nominal resolution of 140 eV FWHM at the Mn Kα line of 5.95 keV, supporting spectral separation and analysis sensitivity.

3.5 mm spot

Localized analysis area

The 3.5 mm X-ray spot diameter is suited to localized inspection of small components, weld zones, and restricted test locations.

Digital processing

Stable signal handling

An 80 MSPS digital signal processing system, 8K-channel multichannel analyzer, FPGA filtering, and Peltier cooling support high-throughput pulse processing.

Field Operation and Data Handling

Built for portable testing, positioning, recording, and data transfer

The JC-X550 combines a compact handheld structure with device-side processing tools so users can conduct measurements and review results in the field. Laizhou Jincheng Industrial Equipment Co.,Ltd provides the instrument with soil and mining software, core accessories, and calibration verification materials for routine deployment.

• Integrated cameras: a built-in camera assists test-point alignment, while a macro camera can capture images and scan QR codes or barcodes for records.
• Touchscreen operation: a 2.7-inch industrial touchscreen and customized Android system support standalone operation in Chinese or English.
• Data sharing: results can be synchronized or shared with compatible mobile devices and computers through Bluetooth and dedicated software.
• Remote support capability: remote diagnostics and software upgrades can be available through an internet connection, depending on network conditions and service configuration.

Portable structure for routine site work

The standard package includes two 14.4 V rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, a charger, and hot-swap battery support with a specified maximum interruption time of 60 seconds.

Factory calibration and verification

Each JC-X550 is calibrated before delivery. A 316 stainless-steel reference sample is supplied for calibration verification and energy scale checks during routine use.

Profile Builder software

For samples with specific geological, regional, or matrix characteristics, qualified users can use Profile Builder software to develop targeted calibration curves and application models.

Configuration confirmation

Software modes, calibration ranges, optional accessories, and target elements should be confirmed against the expected samples and project requirements before deployment.

Typical Applications

A practical tool for teams working with geological and metallic materials

The JC-X550 is suited to organizations that need portable elemental information during field operations, production inspection, material handling, or laboratory pre-screening. Its compact measurement head can be applied to ordinary surfaces and relatively narrow inspection positions.

Product Value and Responsible Use

Turn field observations into structured elemental information

For mining teams, environmental investigators, metal processors, laboratories, and inspection personnel, the JC-X550 helps make elemental screening more accessible at the point of work. With dedicated modes, localized measurement capability, portable data tools, and configurable analytical models, it supports more informed sampling, sorting, verification, and follow-up decisions.

Important operating note

JC-X550 is intended for rapid screening and decision support. Where legally valid, regulatory-compliant, or high-precision quantitative results are required, appropriate laboratory reference methods should be used for confirmation.

Because the analyzer contains an X-ray source, it must be operated only by trained and authorized personnel in accordance with the user manual and applicable local radiation safety regulations. The measurement window must never be directed toward the operator or any other person.
