Laboratory Mills
Convenient and rapid sample preparation

 
     

The type of sample preparation depends on the requirements in the analysis to be made. For this reason it is important to select the correct preparation for the analysis in question. Perten Instruments can offer two types of Laboratory Mills, the hammer type mill and the disc type mill. Disc mills are used when grinding samples for moisture determination, whereas hammer mills are used for most other applications, such as Falling Number, Glutomatic and NIR analysis for example.

The hammer mills grind by means of a high speed rotating steel "hammer" and has a sieve in the periphery through which the sample leaves the grinding chamber. By selecting different sieves the particle size distribution in the sample can be varied. The hammer mill is typically used to produce a fine and homogeneous sample. The Perten Instruments hammer mills can grind up to 300 gram samples which is the requested amount in for example the Falling Number test. Because of the heat development in the grinding operation and the high air flow through the grinding chamber this type of mill is not suited for grain moisture determination.

The disc mills grind the sample between one stationary and one rotating metal disc with teeth. The main application for the disc mills is grain moisture determination thanks to the possibility to grind grain without moisture loss. The particle size from the mill can be varied by adjusting the distance between the stationary and the rotating disc. There are also different disc types to choose from.

Disc mills
 

Laboratory Mill 3303 is a disc mill specifically designed for grain moisture analysis and is approved for both oven and NIR moisture tests. It is also adopted by AACC, standard methods No. 55-30 to determine wheat hardness by PSI (Particle Size Index). It can grind 50 g grain in 10-15 seconds and for moisture determination typically 15 grams is ground in 5 seconds.
