Prepare reliable, representative samples in a very short time
The Knife Mill Pulverisette 11 (photo) produces a homogeneous sample in a very short time due to its special design. Each subsample taken from any location in the grinding vessel is representative for the original sample and thus ensures an exact, significant analysis; this holds for a wide range of different materials, regardless of whether the sample is dry, moist, soft, medium-hard, fibrous or oily. The system is ideal for sample preparation in the fields of foodstuffs or animal feed testing, agriculture and forestry, biotechnology, pharmaceuticals and chemicals. The standard knife is made of stainless steel and can be used for comminution of nearly all materials, due to its four blades and geometry. For comminution of brittle, hard samples, a sickle knife made of stainless steel can be used. The sickle knife with serrated blades is ideal for grinding especially fibrous, tough or sinewy samples, such as fish, meat, asparagus or bamboo. — Fritsch GmbH, Idar-Oberstein, Germany
