Mill and Grinder

Samples must be homogenized to an adequate degree of analytical fineness and uniformity for chemical and physical analytical methods. Proper sample preparation impacts throughput, data quality, and analytical cost. Mills and grinders are used for to break dry or wet samples into smaller particles by grinding, crushing, or cutting. Blades are used in mills to cut up samples into finer particles. The grinding of solid matter occurs under the action of mechanical forces that trench the structure by overcoming of the interior bonding forces. Changes in solid state after grinding: the grain size, the grain size disposition and the grain shape.
