Sample divider for on-site reduction of bulk materials
Ensure consistent sample analysis with precise on-site material division, vital for achieving reliable results in quality control and research settings.

Precisely Divides and Samples Bulk Materials
The RT Series Sample Splitters from Retsch are designed for precise material division across various sectors, including agriculture, construction materials, and pharmaceuticals. These manual units operate with a high-precision dividing process that adheres to DIN 51701 standards, ensuring accurate sampling and reproducibility for quality analysis. The RT Sample Splitters are available in configurations RT 6.5 through RT 75, supporting different slot sizes and feed capacities to handle diverse bulk materials like cement clinker and metal powders. These units function without electrical power, making them versatile for both laboratory use and field operations. The sample is evenly distributed by the dividing head, allowing for consistent halving with each operation. Notable for their ease of use and cleaning, the RT Series assures dependable results while being adaptable to various batch sizes and compositions. Suitable for solid, powder, and granular substances, this equipment integrates seamlessly into pre-processing workflows and laboratory settings, offering robust and efficient material handling solutions for research institutions and production companies alike.
