RETSCH GmbH, the global supplier of lab equipment for sample homogenisation and sieve analysis – has enhanced its product range with a complete line of instruments for applications with large feed sizes and high throughput rates. The new program will be integrated into the existing product line under the name of “X-Large” and complement it in many areas.

Now RETSCH offers, for example, a series of jaw crushers with feed sizes from 40 mm to 350 x 170 mm. The new XL models of ball mills, vibratory disc mills and sample dividers provide a substantially higher throughput than the laboratory-scale models. The new portfolio also includes a number of testing equipment to determine the Bond Grinding Indices. The company said: “This program extension will give RETSCH access to markets like the coal, steel and mining industry which until now could only be served with laboratory instruments for small sample volumes.”

RETSCH, which celebrates its 100th anniversary this year, says it is now “the only supplier worldwide offering a portfolio that ranges from ball mills for nano grinding to jaw crushers with a throughput of 3,500 kg per hour, thus covering the entire field of size reduction.”
