- Exceptionally fast grinding: most samples ground to analytical fineness in 1 to 3 minutes
More details
The Gyro Mill is the perfect choice for rapid, homogeneous and reproducible grinding of samples to analytical fineness, both wet and dry. The equipment is widely used for precision sample preparation for wet chemistry and instrumental analysis, such as XRF and AA analysis as well as for geological/mineral assay work. Materials routinely ground by this method include brick, castings, cement, ceramics, chemicals, clinker, coal, coke, concrete, ferro-alloys, fertilisers, fluxes, glass, iron, limestone, minerals, paint, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, dried plant material, ore, precious stones, rocks, metals, sand, slags, silicates, soil, steel, wood, etc.
The Gyro Mill is particularly recommended for grinding smaller samples from 1 cc to 250 cc. Typically, the maximum initial particle size is approximately 12 mm, depending on the hardness of the material.
