AXT appointed an official Selfrag distributor in ANZ

AXT, a supplier of scientific equipment for industry and academia, has been appointed an official distributor for Selfrag in Australia and New Zealand.

Selfrag designs and manufactures high-voltage pulse power fragmentation equipment for the geoscience, mining, recycling and solar industries. AXT will service existing Selfrag instruments as well as new installations.

Selfrag equipment uses high-voltage pulse power for the selective fragmentation of materials such as composites, minerals and geological samples. The technology is able to use as-received materials as feedstock and reduce them down to microns in a matter of seconds. The process is used for liberating morphologically intact materials.

“We are delighted to be able to join forces with AXT and increase our representation in the Asia-Pacific region,” said Faiz Ahmad, Selfrag’s head of sales and marketing. “This is a growing market for us and we look forward to having more of our instruments installed throughout the region.”

“The Selfrag product line is a perfect fit for AXT,” said Richard Trett, AXT managing director. “We already work closely with clients involved in mining research and this allows us to offer them even more. Selfrag’s products utilise unique but proven technology which is consistent with many of the brands and products that we already distribute.”

The Selfrag Lab range is able to deal with samples in the kilogram range, while larger systems are available to deal with higher throughputs. The Lab system is suited to universities, research institutions and industrial laboratories involved with mining and recycling. A number of these systems are already installed throughout Australia at Curtin University, Macquarie University and Julius Kruttschnitt Mineral Research Centre (JKMRC).
