Mortar Grinders can range from hand-powered to mechanical, and ensure a proper mix and grinding of sample material. Electronically controlled mortar grinders remove the additional work of hand-powered mortar grinders while ensuring highly reproducible sample preparation. Considerations that differentiate mortar grinders are cooling and heating capability, product maintenance difficulty, pestle material, pestle speed, pestle/scraper pressure. Additional parameters to consider when purchasing are feed material hardness, material feed size, final fineness, batch size, grinding chamber volume and power consumption of the unit.

The air jet prevents the The cyclone mill TWISTER is specially designed for the processing of foods and feeds for subsequent NIR analysis. The optimized form of rotor and grinding chamber generates an air jet which carries the ground sample through the integrated cyclone into the sample bottle. The air jet prevents the material from heating up, thus preserving the moisture content.
The provided sieves guarantee an optimum particle size distribution so that it is not necessary to recalibrate the NIR spectrometer. The rotor speed can be adjusted in 3 steps allowing for perfect adaptation to the sample requirements. Cleaning the mill is quick and easy as the air jet effects a complete discharge of the material from the grinding chamber.
This new cyclone mill in proven RETSCH quality optimizes the reproducible sample preparation to NIR analysis thus allowing for meaningful and reliable analysis results.
Features - Ideal for grinding feeds, grains, forage and other similar products
- 3 controlled speeds
- Cyclone separator with 250 ml collecting bottle for quick extraction of sample
- No cross contamination thanks to easy cleaning
- Convenient operating panel
- Professional industrial design with long lifetime
