Features

  • Innovative design helps to minimise sample carry-over

    Crushes samples, such as grains, feeds and meals, into a fine and homogenous powder via high speed rotation of a hammer by which the sample is impacted. Innovative design helps to minimise sample carry-over, ensuring more accurate results.
  • Follows key requirements of AACCI/ICC/ISO methods


    AACCI: Sample mill, with 0.5- or 0.8-mm screen to produce meal with particle size distribution as follows: >500 μm, 0–10%; >210 but <500 μm, 25–40%; <210 μm, 75–50%. 

    ISO: Laboratory mill, hammer type, and fitted with a 0,8 mm screen allowing the production of a wholemeal product meeting the particle size specification shown in 8.1.3.
