Soil much like other samples, requires size reduction and homogenisation prior to subsequent analytical methods. There is no milling without abrasion, thus contamination from the grinding process is unavoidable. RETSCH offers a range of heavy metal free accessories and powerful wear resistant ceramics to grind with peace of mind. No need to second guess penalty elements or contaminants from the milling process.
Our extensive range of mills can be used to grind soils either wet or dry. No need to change the sample by heating or time related decomposition of analytes. You can choose from open or closed types of milling. Closed vessel milling reduces the chance of inhalation of soil compounds or toxic substances. We also have high throughput solutions for either batch or continues size reduction of various types of soil and rock.
Laboratories all over the world prefer RETSCH milling solutions for the preparation of soils. From the analysis of heavy metals or volatile components such as dioxin and furan to the determination of the clay content or the ascertainment of fertilizing requirements, RETSCH’s crushers and grinders as well as the sieve shakers are the products of choice. The name RETSCH stands for high quality products with superior technical features – and dedicated, individual application consultation for our customers. Put us to the test!
