Pellet Press Ideal for High-Quality Pellet Preparation Announced

The manual, hydraulic Pellet Press from Fritsch GmbH is ideal for the preparation of pellets with a smooth, homogeneous surface for spectral analyses such as X-ray fluorescence analysis or infrared spectroscopy for elementary analysis. It is suitable for the manufacturing of both solid and highly permeable pellets of solid samples, fast and easy.

The pressure force is variable up to maximum 250 kN and is automatically relieved in case of overstress. The clearly designed pressure force displays in 10 kN steps. Pressing tools for pellets with 12 mm, 32 mm, 15 mm and 40 mm diameter are available.

Operation is simple. Just fill in the sample, close the magnetically-held door and build-up the desired pressure using the hand lever. The compact yet robust instrument is easy to clean and comes with impact-resistant cladding.

For the comminution of the solid samples Fritsch recommend the Vibrating Cup Mill PULVERISETTE 9 which is ideal for extremely fast size-reduction of hard, brittle and fibrous materials down to analytical fineness.
