Alsto: Delivering Innovative Laboratory Solutions
Premium Laboratory Products, Backed By Market-Leading Service & Product Delivery
Our clients need rugged equipment, designed to endure the most taxing conditions and have them capable of attending multiple thousands of samples a month.
From this foundation, the Alsto brand and product range came into the world in 2010 and the needs have remained the same to have high-quality locally made equipment and spare parts available from stock or with short delivery times. This has been the Alsto cornerstone philosophy and driver of our success.
Since Alsto’s beginning, the product range has not been held static. By listening to clients our designs have evolved to become more ergonomic. Improvements have been added to benefit operator safety and reduce downtimes when attending routine maintenance. We do this happily, comforted in the knowledge that our Australian-designed and made laboratory equipment is more than up to the task.
As the only company manufacturing a full suite of laboratory sample preparation equipment in Australia, we are meeting the nonstop challenge of a demanding local market and growing further to export to clients in metallurgical and geochemistry laboratories and mine sites worldwide.
Premium Equipment & Machinery for Minerals, Metallurgical & Geochemistry Laboratories
Our range of equipment is highly specialised for enhancing the capabilities of minerals, metallurgy, and geochemistry laboratories. Crucial for sample preparation, before advanced analytical procedures, Alsto products are fundamental in ensuring accurate and reliable results in mineralogy, metallurgy, and geochemistry studies. They contribute significantly to the outcomes of research, quality control, and process optimisation in mining, mineral exploration, and environmental science.
World-class equipment to crush, de-water, divide, dry, pulverise, sample and specific tools for fire assay, Bond Tests, flotation and more. Each will serve a specific task and be fit for purpose for every step in the process. The Alsto grinding elements (bowls, discs, rings and rollers) are used in pulverisers across the world and our spare parts are finding new homes for new products every year.
If you can’t find what you need or have specific questions, feel free to ask!
Installing Alsto’s quality equipment will bring efficiency and a sound commercial advantage to your laboratory. They are specifically designed for the rigours of drying, crushing, pulverising and preparing hard rock samples for analysis in the most remote and rugged locations. With our extensive knowledge of the equipment requirements in a mineral laboratory, you can trust Alsto’s products for reliable outcomes.
Whether there is a single sample pot to be moved into a furnace or a batch to be loaded in one step (of 25, 50 or up to 84), we have the tools to quickly move cupels and crucibles in and out of furnaces. This greatly improves efficiency and operator safety when the handling temperatures are over 1000˚C.
For when you need to know how best to process the minerals, or what sort of wear rates will be encountered. With Alsto’s range of metallurgical testing equipment, there is no reason not to find the answers. Let us help you discover the expected production outcomes of your operation, testing with repeated success. Whatever you need to learn about processing your ore type, Alsto has the metallurgical equipment to test all your comminution, extraction, flotation and dewatering methods.
When you have to be serious about the final results, you must be serious about how the sample is taken and divided. With Alsto’s Rotary Sample Dividers and Splitters, you have the best possible method to reduce bias or error. Be assured the sample you analyse will properly represent all the characteristics of the whole product. We have a wide range of capacities available, from a benchtop 10L version to ones that use conveyors to deliver product into carousels that hold multiple 200L drums.
To help optimise laboratory tasks and complement the rugged Alsto range of equipment, we have a strong range of furniture, general laboratory supplies and third-party equipment. Managing a diverse product range takes a unique skill set and the Alsto team is well suited to that task.
