Straw, hay, dried plants, herbal teas - are mostly very bulk
Straw, hay, dried plants; herbal teas are mostly very bulky samples. An average shopping bag contains 300 g straw or expressed like this: 100 g of uncomminuted straw take up the space of 1 to 2 litres. These materials are very voluminous. For the comminution only a cutting mill with a high rotor speed can be considered. So the choice is between the Cutting mill PULVERISETTE 15 and the Universal Cutting Mill PULVERISETTE 19.
The reasonably priced Cutting Mill PULVERISETTE 15 is to be recommended if:
• only a few samples per week are to be comminuted
• the sample amount is small
• the linear expansion has been reduced via chaffing for example
• if a low carry over of sample material to the next sample is tolerable
• more time for cleaning is available
Are the recommendations in regards to cleaning and expenditure of time higher though, the Universal Cutting Mill PULVERISETTE 19 is implicitly to be recommended.
Extremely positive effects
