Knife mill for food and feed sample grinding and homogenization
Achieve consistent texture and precise size reduction of complex samples in food and feed production with high-speed grinding and homogenization, ensuring purity and optimal mixing for downstream processes.
Grinds and Homogenizes Food and Pharmaceutical Samples
The Knife Mill GRINDOMIX GM 200 from Retsch is expertly engineered for precise and efficient grinding and homogenization of a wide range of materials in the food and pharmaceutical sectors. With dual robust blades powered by a 1000 W motor, it ensures rapid and consistent size reduction of both wet and dry samples without thermal degradation. This versatile mill is ideal for processing ingredients like cereals, cheese, and pharmaceuticals, effectively producing end-products such as spice blends and protein powders.
Its processing capacity accommodates up to 0.7 liters per batch, with variable speeds up to 14,000 min-1, enabling optimized performance for diverse applications. The digital interface allows for precise control and storage of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), facilitating integration into batch or continuous production lines.
With options for cryogenic grinding, stainless steel construction, and a patented gravity lid to prevent sample loss, it ensures sample purity and integrity while minimizing maintenance through autoclavable components. Each unit aligns with industry standards, ideal for R&D labs seeking enhanced sample preparation capabilities.
