Typical fields of application:
Soft materials like plants, wood, roots, leaves, coniferous needles, spices, textiles, leather, chemicals, foodstuffs, grains, cellulose, fillers, chalk, kaolin, coal, soils (without stones). Medium-hard samples like drugs, dragées, tablets, fertilizers, pellets, fodder Temperature-sensitive samples can be ground, because of the rapid, effective grinding, the heat absorption of the material is reduced. Materials which are difficult to grind such as styrene, polyester, plastics, foils, PVC, PP and PE can be embrittled for example by liquid nitrogen prior to grinding and good results can be expected for analytical purposes.

Method of operation:
A high-speed rotor with shaped ribs crushes the sample by force. In addition, the sharp edged teeth and the sieve insert reduce the sample by shearing. The sample is placed under stress in the last milling stage by friction between the rotor and the sieve insert.
