Product news

RETSCH GmbH – world-leading supplier of lab equipment for sample homogenization and sieve analysis – have enhanced their product range with a complete line of instruments for applications with large feed sizes and high throughput rates. The new program will be integrated into the existing product line under the name of “X-Large” and complement it in many areas. Now RETSCH offer, for example, a series of jaw crushers with feed sizes from 40 mm to 350x170 mm. The new XL models of ball mills, vibratory disc mills and sample dividers provide a substantially higher throughput than the laboratory-scale models. The new portfolio also includes a number of testing equipment to determine the Bond Grinding Indices.

This program extension will give RETSCH access to markets like the coal, steel and mining industry which until now could only be served with laboratory instruments for small sample volumes. RETSCH, who celebrate their 100th anniversary this year, is now the only supplier worldwide offering a portfolio that ranges from ball mills for nano grinding to jaw crushers with a throughput of 3500 kg per hour, thus covering the entire field of size reduction.

Particle CharacterizationParticle characterization instruments are used to determine particle size distribution, shape, surface area, zeta potential, density and porosity of particles and materials. Multiple tecchniques are available for determining particle size, shape and count including dynamic light scattering (DLS), laser diffraction, electrozone (Coulter technique), imaging particle analysis and single particle optical sensing. Determine the density of your material with a gas pycnometer or examine its surface area and porosity with gas adsorption analyzers and mercury porosimeters. Find the best particle characterization instruments in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Mechanical TestingMechanical testing explores the elastic and inelastic nature of a material when force is applied. A mechanical test shows whether a material is suitable for its intended application by measuring hardness, tensile strength, elongation, elasticity, and fatigue limit.Surface Area TestingPhysisorption studies fundamental parameters essential for the characterization of materials such as the specific surface area and pore size distribution. Properties such as porosity, strength, hardness, permeability, separation selectivity, corrosion, and thermal stress resistance can all be directly correlated to the porous structure of a material.ProfilometersProfilometers are instruments used to measure a surface's profile, in order to quantify etch depth, deposited film thickness, and surface roughness. They operate in either contact or non-contact modes and may use optical or stylus techniques to make the actual measurements.Mills, Sieves and PressesMills, sieves and presses are used to break and sort solid materials into smaller particle sizes for further processing such as pellet pressing or analysis. Milling equipment includes grinders, ball mills, cutting mills, jaw crushers, knife mills, beater and planetary mills. Sorting of smaller particulates can be achieved with test sieves and sieve shakers. Final powders can be pressed with hydraulic presses. Milling and pressing solid samples is an important preparation step in X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF) and diffraction (XRD).

In scientific research, it plays a crucial role in sample preparation for analysis in areas such as food, pharmaceuticals, and materials science.
