Impact Mortar and Pestle
Rocks and other similar types of sample materials are seldom of suitable size for direct comminution in SpectroMills® or GyralGrinders®. Quite often it is necessary to first crush a sample into smaller sizes. The Impact Mortar and Pestle is ideally suited for this application in the laboratory or field collections.
Simply place the sample in the mortar chamber. Insert the pestle. Repeatedly raise and lower the pestle with controlled force. The contained sample is mechanically crushed with each downward stroke.
