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.
