QUARTER SAMPLE SPLITTER - Code: 17213
Using “Quarter” is quite simple: the product, grain or powder, to be divided in equal parts is poured into a cone-shaped mound, which is then flattened into a round shape of uniform thickness. Using “Quarter”, the “pie” is divided into four sectors, two of which are discarded. The operation can be repeated to obtain the desired number of equal parts.
Application - Powder, flour, crystals, sugar.
Sites of use - Pharmaceutical, chemical, food, feed, dairy industries.
Construction - Sterilizable metal.

SPLITTER SAMPLE SPLITTER - Code: 17214
Used for dividing grain and powder products in two, four, eight equal parts. Sample is split through the 18 chutes and falls into two separate containers. The operation can be repeated to obtain the desired number of equal parts.
Application - Powder, flour, crystals, sugar.
Sites of use - Pharmaceutical, chemical, food, feed, dairy industries.
Construction - Metal.

CYCLONE ANALYTIC GRINDER - Code: 17909
“Cyclone” grinders operate on a patent system based on centrifugal streaming of the product against a circular grinding strip, the centrifugal action being generated by a high-speed impeller. Sample grinding will continue until the ground particles are of such size as to pass through the screen and fall into the container. The air flow generated by the impeller prevents thermal degradation of sample during grinding. The end result is a finely ground sample of highly uniform consistency (80% of size smaller that 200 mm). Uniformity of the ground sample (unimodular dispersion) is the key factor for obtaining accurate and reproducible results.
Sites of use - “Cyclone” grinders are used in the following sectors - food and agriculture: grain, animal feed, leaves, straw, pasta - industry: tablets, detergents, fertilisers, plastics, polycarbonates, coal, crumbly products. When grinding products such as leaves, pellets, animal feed, pasta, etc., the use of “Cyclofora” feeder head is recommended.
Method of use - The use of “Cyclone” grinders requires no particular training: having selected the appropriate screen (normally 1 mm), the container for collecting the ground sample is placed under the chute. The motor is started and, after it has reached max. rpm, the product is poured into the feed hopper. The ground sample will quickly (abt. 3 g per second) collect in the container, while the impeller’s airflow contributes to self-cleaning.
Construction - Analytic grinder for quick milling of samples required for chemical analysis or NIR - grinding chamber safety switch - motor overheating safety switch - cyclone air channelling to reduce sample thermal degradation - tungsten carbide grinder mounted on steel base plate - delivery: abt. 3 g per second - ground sample collected in glass or plastic 120-ml containers - sample max. grain size: 5 mm - 3/4 hp electrical motor (0.5 kW) - grinding speed: 10,400 rpm - vacuum-assisted grinding unit (optional) - the fitting of “Cyclofeed” electrical feeder allows grinding of large quantities of product with no need for constant operator’s supervision - dim.: 260x260x470 h mm - weight: 13 kg - power supply: 220/240 V, 50 Hz - available in two versions for grinding products with high or low moisture and fat content.

STERILMIXER 12 - Code: 88961
Laboratory blender used for high speed mixing, emulsifying and dispersing of liquids, suspensions and semisolid substances.
Sites of use - “Sterilmixer 12” is recommended for medium density substances and for short operational cycles.
Method of use - Insert the sample in the container, close the cover and select the appropriate speed for the suitable time.
Construction - Leak proof container, easily interchanged - suitable for medium to low workload - recommended for processing infected items or for aseptic work in sterile environment - heavy duty single-phase motor - 12-speed: from 11,500 to 18,000 rpm - stainless steel asymmetrical blades - with one set of blades base plate and sealing ring - glass container with plastic leak proof cover (“Conti-Glass” code 5633) - power supply: 220/240 V, 50 Hz.

STRONG-INOX - CONTAINERS FOR STERILMIXER 12 - Code: 8357
The containers to be used for microbiological testing must be of autoclavable material.

ECO-400 BLENDER HOMOGENIZER - Code: 5382
Microbiological homogeniser with two reciprocating paddles for solid and semisolid sample preparation. Suitable for the treatment of pathogenic specimen without risk for the operator and the environment because the bioaerosol is eliminated. The blending process is contained within a plastic bag thus eliminating cleaning between samples. No sterilisation is required.
Sites of use - “ECO-400 BLENDER” is used for food, feed, pharmaceutical, cosmetic products, human and veterinary tissues or organ treatment.
Construction - External case made in stainless steel, internal case in stove enamelled metal. Timer for homogenisation cycle programming from 0 to 60 minutes. Speed: 240 strokes per minute. Dimensions: 250x440x265 h mm, weight 25 kg. 220/240 V, 50 Hz.

STOBAG BAG - Code: 10829/5103
Made of high-strength transparent plastic material. Sterile. Flat reinforced bottom. Ideal for use in “Stomacher” 80, 400 and 3500 models or similar circulator homogenisers. Bag type 400RR is made of reinforced high-strength plastic material.
Bag code 5103 is made of very-high-strength Kriovac and is used for processing extremely hard substances.

PRESTO-CHIUSO BAG - Code: 5281/11722
Made of high-strength plastic material - sterile - transparent - flat reinforced bottom - sterility guaranteed by tear-off top seal - wire closure - writing strip - for use in “Stomacher 400” or similar circulator homogenisers. The fastener on the bag’s opening incorporates a stiff metal wire which allows easy opening of the bag for withdrawing the sample and ensures a leak-proof seal for carriage. The wire is totally enclosed in the fastener to avoid accidental punctures during handling. The same bag may be used for collecting the sample and for the homogenisation process performed with “Stomacher” or similar circulatory homogenisers.
