Fine comminution and sieving in one unit!

The FRITSCH Vibratory Micro Mill PULVERISETTE 0 is the ideal laboratory mill for fine comminution of medium-hard, brittle, moist or temperature-sensitive samples – dry or in suspension – as well as for homogenising of emulsions and pastes.

For perfect, loss-free grinding results in shortest times. Ideal for:-

• Chemical analysis: Electron microscopy
• Environmental research: Soil samples, comminution of botanical materials – also possible deep frozen
• Pharmaceuticals and medicine: Ophthalmological agents, gels, creams, extracts, drugs, pastes, dragées, tablets
• Biotechnology: Tissue samples, botanical matter
• Forensic analysis: Teeth, bones
• Materials technology: Pigments, precious materials, new materials
• RoHS: Mobile phone circuit boards, mobile phone cameras, mobile phone LCD glass panels, mobile phone keypads, electronic chips, LCD diffusion panels

Cryogenic grinding

For fast embrittlement of soft, slightly oily, fatty or moist materials for cryogenic grinding, we offer the FRITSCH cryo-box: Simply insert the filled grinding set into the cryo-box and fill it with liquid nitrogen with this method even extremely difficult-to- grind samples can be ground down to analysis fineness. And the thick insulation ensures a particularly efficient use of coolant.

Grinding and sieving in one unit

For dry and wet sieving, the FRITSCH PULVERISETTE 0 can be converted to a Vibratory Sieve Shaker for quantitative particle size analysis of solids (measuring range 32 μm – 63 μm) and suspensions (measuring range 20 μm – 10 mm) by simply inserting corresponding sieves.
