• Compared to manual preparation: improved repeatability, higher throughput, better working conditions & lower risk of cross-sample contamination
• Bowl, grinding ring, puck and press head made of tungsten carbide
• No risk of pellet breakage
• No pollution of the Carbon measurement by X-ray fluorescence
• Comprehensive cleaning of all parts in contact with the material by means of dust extraction, compressed air injection and rotating brushes for some key items
• Easily accessible unit: e.g. visual check of the bowl cleanliness is easily done between 2 cycles without any special operation being required
• Adjustable pressing force up to 40 tons
• Flexibility of operation: 9 grinding & 9 pelletizing recipes can be set up for different kinds of products
