Sample tray and lid indicators
These indicators display which sample tray is fitted and whether the lid is open.
Hopper Feed control
The hopper is a pre-disperser. Its purpose is to deliver a steady amount of powder
to the sample tray, so that the amount of powder passing through the venturi
remains roughly constant. This prevents surges in obscuration and poor dispersion
caused by passing too much material through the venturi system.
Approximate starting hopper feed rates are 40% to 45% for a material such as
cement, but every product is different so the appropriate SOP settings may differ.
