Perten Laboratory Mill LM 3310

Perten - a PerkinElmer Company
The Laboratory Mill 3310 is a disc type mill for grinding grains, peas, corn, soybeans and other products. The sample is rapidly crushed/sheared between sharp steel discs and collected in a quick release plastic sample cup. The disc design and the rapid grinding minimize heat development. Loss of water is thus virtually eliminated. Typical sample size is 5-50 g for general applications and 10-15 g for grain moisture determinations.

Hardened Steel Disc
Particle size is dependent upon disc type and inter-disc distance. The distance between discs is
adjustable and there are three different types of discs available.
Type 1 – Medium: Used for determination of moisture content.
Type 2 – Fine: Used for Particle Size Index (PSI) or when a fine particle size is required.
Type 3 – Coarse: Used for oats and other high moisture grains.
The Laboratory Mill 3310 is delivered with type 1 disc set.

Applications
The Laboratory Mill 3310 is suitable for sample preparation for oven and NIR moisture tests and is adopted by the AACC International, standard No. 55-30.01 to determine wheat hardness by PSI (Particle Size Index). The mill is used to grind low fat materials (less than 20 %) and for sample preparation for NIR protein analysis.
