New Mortar Grinder for Gentle Size Reduction and Homogenisation

The famous Retsch Mill (RM) has been updated and improved. Since its introduction in 1923 it has been constantly improved and, says the company, continues to set standards in this product segment. With the model RM 200, Retsch presents the latest product generation for the gentle grinding of hard, brittle and pasty materials.

In the new RM 200, a revised scraper provides for a more efficient feeding of the material into the area between mortar and pestle. Thus the sample is continuously subjected to the grinding and trituration process while also being thoroughly mixed. The result is a perfectly ground and homogenised product. Thanks to an integrated performance display the pressure of the pestle can be easily adapted to the sample material, thus providing an excellent grinding result.

The benefits of the RM 200 at a glance:

-- Optimised scraper position allows for more efficient and reproducible size reduction.
-- Shorter grinding times thanks to improved instrument geometry.
-- Performance display for easy adjustment of pestle pressure.
-- Increased useful volume of 190 ml.
-- Extraordinarily fast and uncomplicated change of grinding tools.
-- Easier cleaning due to perfected design.

The RM 200 can be used for dry and wet grinding and is suitable for various materials such as ceramics, oil seeds, ashes and pharmaceutical products. It can also be used for yeast cell extraction. The grinding sets are available in seven different materials which allows for sample preparation without cross contamination.

Retsch is a global company dedicated to providing novel technologies and high quality tools for the sample preparation of solids used in R&D and QA applications as well as small scale production.
