Turbo-power mill for sample preparation
This variable speed rotor mill has a real top speed of 20,000rpm for fast and effective grinding, drastically reducing thermal stress on the grinding material
The Pulverisette 14 is the all-purpose mill for rapid crushing of medium-hard to soft substances It can also be used to disperse and homogenise dry samples

Grind your sample gently
Delicate materials such as alginate or even raw liquorice can be ground quickly and effectively thanks to a new impact rotor insert accessory and sieve ring
Planetary ball mill
The Pulverisette 6 mono mill from Fritsch will grind samples down to less than 1µm, and can be used for mixing, homogenising, emulsifying and alloying
Planetary mill for fine grinding
Samples smaller than 1µm, as well as mixing, homogenising, emulsifying, and alloying, and a high comminution rate, are promised by the new Pulverisette 6 from Fritsch
Grinding temperature-sensitive materials is also possible with the variable speed rotor mill.
The extremely high rotor speed enables fast and effective grinding, drastically reducing thermal stress on the grinding material.
Samples that are difficult to grind can be ground to analytical fineness by embrittlement (e.g addition of liquid nitrogen before grinding).
Under some circumstances, the high efficiency of the mill can make it possible to grind such samples even without previous embrittlement.
The Pulverisette 14 can be fitted with a pin insert in order to grind medium-hard samples and materials containing oil or grease without a sieve.
By inserting an impact rotor with impact blades in the sieve ring, hard to medium-hard samples can be crushed easily through the increased shearing effect.
With a feed particle size of <10 mm, a final fineness of up to 40um can be achieved.
The throughput depends on the material and lies between 0.05 and 5kg per hour.
The variable speed rotor mill Pulverisette 14 with a real top speed of 20,000rpm is the turbo mill for sample preparation.
Rotors, sieve rings and collecting vessels made of different materials and in different sizes enable an optimal adjustment of the system to the application. Request a free brochure from Fritsch ...
