Fritsch, Idar-Oberstein, Germany, will be launching various new items of laboratory-scale milling and sizing equipment at POWTECH on Stand 2-218. Among these will be the PUVERISETTE 6 premium line planetary mill which is equipped with two grinding stations. It is capable of fast, wet or dry grinding of hard, medium-hard, soft, brittle and moist samples as well as for mechanical alloying, mixing and homogenising of larger sample quantities with reliable results down into the nano range.

 

The grinding bowl is simply inserted into the machine from the front into a holder. Correct positioning is automatically ensured and the machine will not start until both bowls are correctly inserted. RFID chip detection prevents the setting of excessively high speeds, depending on the bowl material used. Incorrect operation is said to be impossible. The machine allows interval and pause times to be pre-programmed, using the minutes and seconds timer, and up to 10 programs can be saved. www.fritsch.de
