Vibratory disc mill for sample homogenization to analytical fineness
Achieve exceptional precision in sample preparation with a mill that rapidly pulverizes even the toughest materials to analytical fineness, ensuring consistency and reproducibility for demanding laboratory and industrial applications.
Pulverizes and Homogenizes Sample Materials Efficiently
The Vibratory Disc Mill RS 200 from Retsch is a robust solution for laboratories needing precise sample processing. It employs circular horizontal vibrations driven by a powerful 1.5 kW motor, generating intense pressure and friction to achieve analytical fineness within minutes. Specifically designed for industries such as construction materials, geology, and ceramics, it ensures reproducible results essential for quality control. The RS 200 processes a diverse range of materials including cement, minerals, and metal oxides, making it indispensable for producing refined powders. With a capacity to handle 15-250 ml batches, it offers speed variability from 700 to 1500 rpm and automatic speed adjustments for tungsten carbide or agate sets, enhancing material preservation and energy efficiency. Safety features include a noise-insulated chamber and sensor-controlled operations. Supported by a user-friendly interface with digital settings, it allows storing multiple operating protocols and facilitates seamless integration into automated laboratory environments. The grinding sets, available in various materials like zirconium oxide and hardened steel, assure durability and resistance to mechanical stress, while allowing easy cleaning and maintenance.
