A great way to pulverize
Application Area: Reducing ceramic, mineral and glass samples to fine powder
"Used to pulverize glass and ceramic samples to fine powder, a very useful piece of equipment, saves the hassle of using a mortar and pestle to pulverize."

Good for powdering samples.
Application Area:Reducing ceramic, mineral and glass samples to fine powder
"I deal with lots of mineral, ceramic and glass samples that need to be reduced to a fine powder for XRD and XRF analyses. The RS200 can usually get these samples down to a powder in a minute or so. We have 3 grinding sets, one made of steel, one made of WC and one lined with agate. Be aware that the WC set is very heavy and if you use it to grind up a sample for XRF analysis you will detect W XRF lines in the resultant spectrum. I usually use the steel grinding set, this doesn't give the spectroscopic contamination and is less heavy."
The instrument runs steadily and smoothly, even with heavy grinding sets, at maximum speed thanks to the new Stabilized-Plane-Drive.
With its robust design, the RS 200 has proven to be ideal for use in the building materials sector (cement), in geology, mineralogy, metallurgy and in power plants. Due to the high end fineness and speed the RS 200 is the perfect mill when it comes to preparing samples for spectral analysis.
