Laboratory mortar grinder for wet and dry grinding

Ensure precise blending of fine powders, pastes, and creams with controlled particle size in your lab processes, while minimizing thermal stress and maximizing the uniformity and quality of your samples.

Grinds, Mixes, and Homogenizes Samples Efficiently

The FRITSCH Mortar Grinder PULVERISETTE 2 is an essential tool in laboratory settings for R&D and quality control departments. It shines in its ability to grind, mix, and homogenize samples with high precision, using a time-honored pressure and friction method. This ensures gentle processing with minimal thermal load, crucial for preserving the integrity of sensitive samples like pharmaceutical powders and chemical pastes.

Capable of handling materials ranging from hard to fibrous, the PULVERISETTE 2 accommodates a feed size of 6 to 8 mm and sample quantities up to 190 ml. Its variable operational speed between 70 and 80 rpm ensures reproducible results, ideal for industries including pharmaceuticals, foodstuffs, and mining.

The equipment’s design includes features for user convenience and sample integrity: simple pestle and mortar bowl removal for easy cleaning, and a closed, illuminated grinding chamber to prevent loss and contamination. With options for cryogenic grinding, it efficiently processes challenging plastic, rubber, or resins using liquid nitrogen.

Fritsch offers various material options for the grinding set, such as stainless steel, ensuring compatibility with diverse applications while maintaining durability. Customization support is available for tailoring pestle pressure and scraper kinematics to specific requirements.
