Sample Mills

A broad range of grinding applications

FOSS sample mills cover a broad range of sample preparation applications for both traditional wet chemistry and near infrared analysis.  The range includes Homogenizers 2094 and 2097 for rapid homogenization of larger samples with a high fat or oil content; the Cemotec™ Mill for grinding solid samples without moisture loss; the Cyclotec™ Mill for uniform grinding of dry samples and the Knifetec™ Mill for the preparation of high-fat, high-moisture and fibrous samples.

cemotec sample mill

Cemotec™ 1090 Sample Mill

This mill crushes the sample using the tried-and-tested principle of grinding between two discs, one stationary and one turning.
The sample is introduced at the centre of the stationary disc and is crushed between the discs. A graduated knob adjusts the distance between the discs to control the fineness of the grist.

The Cemotec works silently and effectively at relatively low speed. The rate of grinding is about 3 grams per second. Low speed means low noise, and dust is effectively contained by the seal between the outlet
and the sample container. This mill is specially designed to grind grain and seed samples without losing any of the moisture content. It is also excellent for all types of sample preparation with moderate requirements for fineness and uniformity of particle size

cyclotec sample mill

The Cyclotec™ 1093 Sample Mill

This mill is based on the cyclone principle for universal grinding applications in the laboratory. The grinding is carried out by a high-speed action where the sample is rolled against the inner circumference of a durable grinding surface and passed out through a screen. The high grinding capacity reaches 4 g/second and the recovery of the sample is complete.

A high volume airflow provides a self cleaning action that enables whole series of samples to be ground with minimal cross contamination and with no cleanout between samples.

This sample mill provides rapid sample preparation for general laboratory analysis. It is designed for rapid, uniform grinding of a wide variety of feeds, grains, leaves and also for grinding of chemicals, pharmaceuticals and similar products.
Knifetec sample mill

The Knifetec

This piece of equipment is equipped with a grinding chamber cooling feature. This can be connected to a cold water tap or other laboratory chilling device to prevent samples containing high levels of fat sticking to the wall of the chamber as the fat softens during grinding. The cooling option also stops fibrous samples generating heat due to friction.

This sample mill is ideal for rapid sample preparation of high-fat, high-moisture and fibrous samples such as oilseeds, prepared foods, meat products, fruit, vegetables, grains, seeds and feed samples. The high speed rotor blade and timer control ensure reliable, fast and reproducible sample preparation in under ten seconds.

Homogenizers

2094 and 2097 Homogenizers

These sample preparation mills provide a reproducible degree of homogenization through a powerful high-speed cutting action. Angled knife blades produce a vertical flow within the batch and facilitate rapid and thorough homogenization in 20 to 60 seconds.

These homogenizers provide rapid maceration and homogenization of a variety of high moisture, high-fat and fibrous samples. Application examples include: size reduction of forage and dry food and chemical products; homogenization of meat, fish, fruit, vegetables, prepared foods (such as pizza, meat pies and frozen meals) and chemical and pharmaceutical formulations. Through rapid homogenization of food samples you can get more accurate analyses of unstable constituents such as vitamins.

Sample mills overview

Mills for all analysis types

The FOSS sample mills prepare samples of all kinds for high fat, high moisture, solid or dry testing. In short, if you have the sample, we have the sample mill.

Good results start with sample preparation

Errors caused by analytical instruments are minor compared to the errors associated with sample preparation. FOSS sample mills are designed to create the highest levels of reliability and reproducibility in analysis.
