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.

With four sharp, robust blades and a powerful motor which can reach temporary peaks of 3 kW, it is ideal for homogenizing substances with a high water, oil or fat content as well as for grinding dry, soft and medium-hard products. The GRINDOMIX GM 300 meets and exceeds all special laboratory and analytical requirements and is a professional device superior to any commercial household mixer.
Features - Efficient size reduction of up to 4,500 ml feed quantity due to a powerful 1.1 kW motor (peak power input >3 kW)
- Pre- and fine-grinding in one mill: cutting action in regular mode, grinding by impact in reverse mode, pre-grinding in interval mode
- All parts which come into contact with the sample material are autoclavable
- Perfect adaptation to application requirements by variable speed from 500 to 4,000 min-1 with an increment of 100 min-1
- Optional gravitation lid for automatic reduction of the grinding chamber volume
- 10 SOPs can be stored
- Grinding jar in plastic and stainless steel available
