The Fritsch Pulverisette 15 laboratory cutting mill is said to be ideal for grinding soft to medium-hard dry materials and fibrous materials, or materials containing cellulose.
Typical applications include grinding: rubber; leather; paper; cardboard; textiles; plastics; wood; metal-free waste; coal; feedstuffs; maize; grain; confectionery; malt; noodles; herbs and spices; dried meat; bone; horn; pills; tablets; foliage; fibres; peat; roots; tobacco and cork.
Straw, stalks, foils and similar long, thin samples can be fed full-length into the instrument.
In the grinding chamber of the Pulverisette 15 laboratory cutting mill, four knives rotate against three stationary knives in the cutting action to reduce the sample.
The material remains in the grinding chamber until the desired final particle size is achieved and the continuous flow of air carries it through the mesh of the interchangeable sieve insert into the collecting vessel.
