FRITSCH Cutting Mill PULVERISETTE 19 – optimized for cannabis processi

The FRITSCH PULVERISETTE 19 with Cyclone is an efficient instrument to quickly comminute large volumes of cannabis. Plant material is fed into the FRITSCH Universal Cutting Mill PULVERISETTE 19 through a large funnel for fast throughput. Due to an efficiently designed cutting geometry of the rotating cutting edges of the rotor and the fixed knives in the grinding chamber, the sample material is automatically moved and comminuted increasingly fine by shearing forces between the knives. The negative pressure in the cyclone ensures a continuous flow through the cutting rotor and the selected sieve cassette for precise final fineness in a narrow particle size range. It prevents sample material from escaping during feeding and opens up new possibilities in the cannabis processing. The high throughput of up to 60lbs per hour is supported by large collection vessels of up to 65 liters. While you are still tightening the screws on other mills, your FRITSCH Cutting Mill is already clean.

This method covers fluctuations much more effectively than the zeta potential As the first supplier ever, FRITSCH has now developed a way to measure the pH value of the dispersion liquid almost directly in the measuring unit. The new pH sensor is installed as a module in the dispersion bath and connected to the Laser Particle Sizer. It continuously measures the pH value during the measurement and automatically transfers the determined values to the software for documentation. This method covers fluctuations much more effectively than the zeta potential and offers many advantages, especially in the area of research and development. The pH value is much broader, especially with measurements in the field of nano-suspensions. Its monitoring provides valuable information about how and when a chemically inert material, for example, reacts to alkalis, depending on the environment. If the curve is unstable and varies during measurement, the pH value helps with stabilization and interpretation. The pH measurement process now introduced by FRITSCH

Sample Preparation Made Easy

Sample preparation is very important to obtain accurate data from analytical testing. To obtain this representative data, the entire sample must be properly comminuted. The Knife Mill PULVERISETTE 11 is perfectly suited for this task. Consistent, Representative, Accurate Consistent and viable representation of sample preparation leads to more accurate and repeatable results for analysis. Obstacles in handling or reducing materials with varied sample size, moisture levels, physical attributes, and material sensitivity create additional challenges in critical analysis. Obtaining a representative sample from an entire batch can be variable, complex, and time consuming. This is more complex when faced with a diverse sample load. While difficult, sample preparation is one of the most important steps in obtaining accurate data from analytical testing. In regards to comminution there are often limiting factors, like the rheological properties of a material, the ingredients, or the volatile components. In this case, consumer products such as blenders and coffee grinders are chosen for laboratory use. Industry quality knife mills offer specific utilization capabilities beyond consumer appliances.

Sample preparation of cannabis plants for efficient extraction

A video on how you can fast and easily prepare cannabis plants for an efficient extraction of cannabis oil and receive a homogeneous sample. Cannabis has been used as a medicine in various cultures for thousands of years, for example as marijuana or as hashish. Today Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and Cannabidiol (CBD) are particularly isolated and researched from the multitude of active substances contained in the plant (in addition to other cannabinoids and terpenes) as pharmacologically effective components. The cannabis active ingredients are used therapeutically in particular * as pain reliever * for appetite stimulation * anti-inflammatory * antispasmodic Supercritical CO2 Extraction The most common method to extract the active ingredients from the cannabis plant is supercritical CO2 extraction. At above 31°C and with high pressure the CO2 gets into the "supercritical" state. It now acts as a solvent. It is passed through a chamber containing the plant material. The CO2 has still the density of a liquid, but can fill the entire chamber like a gas. This is ideal for extraction as it does

Perfectly suitable for the comminution of nuts are the FRITSCH Cutting Mills. Consumer protection Food inspections concentrate on verifying harmful substances like toxins, heavy metals and non-permitted pesticides. The consumers trust that top limits of harmful substances are not exceeded and therefore contaminated products not sold. Nuts are considered a problematic product in food inspections since the shell gives no clue about whether the core has the adequate quality. The inside may contain fungal spores or toxins which simply can not be perceived from the outside. With defined methods, samples may be tested for their safety.

Production of mixtures on a laboratory scale

Often an extreme challenge Probably one of the most difficult tasks was the fine distribution of pure liquid mercury in a mixture of fine solid metal powders. Already during the manual mixing with a spatula, with careless work methods without a problem up to 3 mm large amalgam grains were produced. The solution was added to the Mortar Grinder PULVERISETTE 2, with an agate grinding set and special adjustments for the minimizing of the application of energy found. From the area of mixtures liquid – solid is the production of filled pastes to be mentioned. Especially challenging here is to add as much as possible solids in the high viscosity organic phase. An additional example for this is, when one has to add to organic binder (for example synthetic resin or varnish or in the simplest case oil) fine metallic, ceramic or inorganic powders. High viscosity pastes evolve which can be compared with shoe polish in a tube. Experts often talk about filled composite materials. Often the increase

Biofuel - Energy supplier of the future?

Cutting Mill P-19 with cyclone - optimal for the preparation of the lignocellulose materials However, in the past months and years bio fuels had the reputation to generate a social- und environmental dilemma. For example, in developing countries large areas were cleared and used for sugar cane bio fuel monocultures or similar and therefore were at the same time unintentionally in competition with the production of food. Inevitably, this well known problem leads to the development of more climate friendly and socially acceptable uses of second generation bio fuels. For the production of the second generation bio fuels not the starch respectively oil containing plant parts are used, but rather only the cellulose-containing parts of the plant. This means the starch containing plant parts, like for example the maize kernels, can still be used for the production of food. Bio ethanol is produced and obtained via bio catalysis (fermentation) and bio process technology. In order to run such well-engineered bio process technology plants, as a rule, a preparation

It exists EU directive in regards to the regulation of chemical safety of toys was passed. The contained critical values are by all means questionable. Derived from this difficulty the task was drafted, to comminute a sample of a “scented toy horse” in such a manner so that a powder evolves. The scents can not be lost though. Scents are relatively slightly elusive in order to be smelled. Therefore it has to be assumed that with the amplification of the surface, a faster transition into the ambient air occurs. Therefore the substances would elude analysis. In order to avoid this to the greatest possible extend, the sample was comminuted during permanent cooling with liquid nitrogen. For this 8 x 8 mm large chunks were cut from the toys and comminuted with the Vibratory Micro Mill PULVERISETTE 0, equipped with a cryo-box,

The combination makes it possible ...

Size reduction of very hard materials with a feed size < 100 mm down to 0.1 mm final fineness Wherever large pieces of brittle samples had to be prepared for analysis, many laboratories employed a jaw crusher such as Fritsch"s PULVERISETTE 1 for the pre-crushing stage, since the original feed size was too large to be handled by the final grinding mill. Previously samples could not be prepared for analysis in a single operation because a jaw crusher could not achieve an adequate product fineness and because grinding mills can only handle a limited range of feed size. Fritsch have applied themselves to this particular problem and have developed a disk mill PULVERISETTE 13. In a relatively short processing time this mill can reduce material of a preset grain size to a fineness of minimum 0.1 mm even when processing relatively large samples (up to 20 mm edge length). If the required fineness is of this order but the samples supplied to the laboratory include pieces with an edge length of over 20 mm, Fritsch can supply the perfect solution for this problem: Both

Based on the risen quality standards more and more often, the crude materials and also the finished products are more precisely analyzed. Considered are the classic chemical and physical variables, as well as the technological data of crude materials and finished parts like for example Geochemical and mineralogical composition, Thermal endurance, Heat conductance & coefficient of thermal expansion, Breaking resistance & flexural strength. Based on the very inhomogeneous composition of clays, which are mostly composed of various clay minerals, a sample preparation in a clay and ceramics laboratory for further analytical use via x-ray fluorescence,

Lead in wooden or plastic toys

Sample Preparation for the analysis The last months showed that there is a specific need for the careful inspection and analysis of various toys. Especially the cases of toxic lead in paints. Lead is a toxic heavy metall. Approx. 90% of the incorporated lead is deposited in the bones and the teeth. Because lead is released very slowly, it will be accumulated over the time in the body. This is dangerous especially for children. The European Norm EN 71-3 regulates the limit of lead in toys. Furthermore the US norm ASTM F 963-07 regulates the concentration of lead in paints and coatings for toys (max. 600mg/kg). For the analyses, if toys fulfil these norms, the samples must be grind for example with FRITSCH cutting mills. For the pre-grinding we use the Universal Cutting Mill PULVERISETTE 19 or the Power Cutting Mill PULVERISETTE 25. The main advantage of these mills is, that you can remove all grinding parts without an additional tool. This makes them very easy to clean and cross-contaminations are

Your Cell phone turns into dust

Optimal sample preparation for the RoHS/WEEE Analysis Considering the characteristics of materials used for the construction of a cell phone the whole spectrum of hard-tough to hard-brittle up to soft, tough-elastic materials is found. Mentioned should be metals, ceramic parts and the most various plastics. Whereas the hard-brittle materials are easily ground with impact energy, the comminution of tough-elastic materials is only achieved with cutting force. Tough-elastic materials may be embrittled with liquid nitrogen and then ground with impact force. The Power Cutting Mill PULVERISETTE 25 was chosen as the first level of comminution of a complete cell phone. Once reduced to 10 mm the Vibrating Cup Mill PULVERISETTE 9 was supposed to complete the rest. This experiment was unsuccessful. Therefore the PULVERISETTE 25 with a 4 mm sieve was used again. For the next level, the Universal Cutting Mill PULVERISETTE 19 was chosen. With cutting tools made of hard metal tungsten carbide the remainder was comminuted down

HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT THE SUGAR CUBE IN LAKE CONSTANCE?

Sample preparation - one of the most important steps in the Laboratory Progress is chemical analysis technology has produced equipment with astonishing performances. To illustrate this performance, comparisons are often made such as „Our measuring equipment can detect a cube of sugar which has been dissolved in Lake Constance“. This may be true as far as the detection capability is concerned, but does this really tell us anything? All too often, expensive analytical instruments are purchased without due regard to the collection and preparation of the sample to ensure that the analysis is carried out on a homogeneous, representative, reproducible and uncontaminated sample. Unless the sample is reduced in size and accurately sub-divided without risk of contamination, we cannot be certain that sampling error may be greater than measuring error! Returning to the question of the sugar cube, how was Lake Constance stirred? From which location was the sample taken? This is why we are offering our 80 years of experience as a company
