Fast and fine: Disk Mill PULVERISETTE 13 classic line. he ideal instrument for fine grinding of up to 150 kg per hour of soft to hard-brittle and temperature-sensitive solids, even in continuous operation. articularly ideal for medium particle sizes in the areas of mining and metallurgy, glass industry, ceramics industry, soil research, rocks and soils. The Disk Mill PULVERISETTE 13 classic line is the ideal instrument for fine grinding of up to 150 kg per hour of soft to hard-brittle and temperature-sensitive solids – even in continuous operation. The maximum feed size per piece is approximately 20 mm edge length, the final fineness is freely adjustable between 12 mm and 0.1 mm. Powerful fine grinding The material to be ground is comminuted by pressure and shearing action between two counteracting grinding disks with coarse interlocking teeth. The ground material automatically falls down through an output gap into the collection drawer. The desired final fineness can be defined from the outside by changing the gap width. Advantages PULVERISETTE 13 classic line: * High throughput up to 150 kg/h * Fine grinding down to 0.1 mm * Grinding disks are available

The cryogenic grinding of small pumpkin samples succeeds quickly and easily with the vibratory micro mill PULVERISETTE 0 and cryo attachment. Bishop’s cap, butternut, nutmeg or the popular Hokkaido: numerous variations of the colourful autumn vegetable are available in the fall. Unfortunately, however, pumpkin plants absorb organochlorine pesticides (OCPs), among other things, particularly easily from the soil as a result of earlier conventional cultivation. In most cases, however, the residues in samples from the European region are well below the legal maximum levels nevertheless an examination of pumpkins mandatory. In order to grind small amounts of the pumpkin sample to a fine powder, we equipped the laboratory mill with a stainless steel grinding set and a grinding ball with a diameter of 50 mm. Grinding parameters: - Feed quantity: 7 g - Feed size: 12 cm diameter - Grinding time: 1.5 min - Final fineness: fine powder 150 µm Test grinding In this test we used our Vibratory Micro Mill PULVERISETTE 0 with cryo-box and stainless steel grinding set. An amplitude of 3.0 mm was pre-programmed.

Pet food has to meet to strict guidelines. An effective sample preparation is essential for subsequent analysis. Dogs represent one of the most preferred pets across the globe. The general diet of a dog should comprise a combination of carbohydrates, minerals, proteins, fats, vitamins and water. Dog food manufacturers across the globe have been introducing products suitable for every stage of a dog’s life. Some of these products provide hypoallergenic nutrition, whereas other formulations are produced for controlling health conditions such as kidney and heart-related diseases[1]. Hence the importance of continued pet food testing for various ingredients or to even prevent contamination due to aflatoxin or salmonella. New technologies and testing methods for example are helping manufacturers and vet supply chains to keep products safe. FRITSCH Mills are perfectly suited for sample preparation prior to further testing of pet food.
