Grinding

The Laboratory Grinding Equipment category covers equipment and consumables used to convert incoming materials into a representative and method-compatible form before measurement, extraction or analysis. These products are not isolated purchases, because their performance is tied to the sample, surrounding equipment and the way the wider method is carried out. A practical point for this category is that fritsch and Powteq offer robust laboratory jaw breakers designed to crush hard, brittle materials into manageable sizes for secondary milling, ensuring high efficiency in mineralogical and industrial research.


Poor grinding, mixing, pressing, cutting or subsampling can introduce more variability than the analytical instrument itself. This is why laboratories should assess heat sensitivity, cleaning and changeover, sample material, and required particle size or geometry before choosing a product, rather than relying only on capacity, appearance or headline specifications.


The preparation route should control particle size, homogeneity, contamination, heat generation and final sample geometry. The same principle applies across materials, mining, food, pharmaceutical, environmental, chemical and research laboratories: control the inputs, use compatible equipment and document the conditions that can influence the result. As part of the Sample Preparation Equipment range, these products can be selected with the equipment and consumables used before and after this stage.


Our Laboratory Grinding Equipment range

Our collection covers the main product groups used to convert incoming materials into a representative and method-compatible form before measurement, extraction or analysis, from lab blenders through to mortar & pestle.


Laboratory Blenders

The Laboratory Blenders range includes instruments, accessories and consumables used to convert incoming materials into a representative and method-compatible form before measurement, extraction or analysis. Common capacities range from 125 ml for specialised attachments up to 1 L for standard benchtop units from Waring or KINEMATICA.


Laboratory Jaw Crushers

Our Laboratory Jaw Crushers are typically used for primary crushing of large, hard chunks of material, whereas mills (like ball mills or vibratory disc mills) are used for fine grinding to reach analytical fineness.


Laboratory Mills

The Laboratory Mills range brings together products designed to convert incoming materials into a representative and method-compatible form before measurement, extraction or analysis. Reduction lids, such as those from Powteq, allow for the use of smaller sample volumes within a larger grinding container, ensuring optimal material-to-media ratios for efficient milling.


Laboratory Mortars & Pestles

The Laboratory Mortars & Pestles range covers equipment and consumables used to convert incoming materials into a representative and method-compatible form before measurement, extraction or analysis. Glazed surfaces are non-porous and easy to clean, making them ideal for mixing liquids, preparing ointments, or handling materials that might otherwise stain or be absorbed by a rough surface.


Featured brands

LLG Labware is represented in options relating to lLG Labware and ISOLAB grinding tools for routine tasks, IKA is represented in options relating to benefits of using IKA and Kinematica blenders, Thermo Scientific is known for analytical, life-science and general laboratory instrumentation, and AS ONE is known for cleanroom supplies, compact laboratory equipment and general consumables.
