Many components such as circuit boards, wire, solder, polymers and resins are difficult if not impossible to grind using traditional methods. Cryogenic grinding in the Freezer/Mill® is the easiest way to homogenize these materials for RoHS WEEE applications. Using cryogenic grinding to chill samples until they are brittle, and then break them up through impact, crushing, or shearing allows the toughest samples to be ground.

The 6875D Freezer/Mill® is a high-throughput, dual chamber cryogenic grinder with a self-contained liquid nitrogen tub and insulated case. It chills samples in liquid nitrogen then pulverizes them with a magnetically driven impactor. It accommodates samples in the 0.1 gram to 100 gram range per grinding chamber.

This video shows how the Freezer/Mill®, a powerful cryogenic mill, grinds Cannabis infused edibles for testing. Rice krispies treats, gummy treats and hard candy are turned to an analytical powder in minutes. It's the ideal tool for testing the quality of edible Cannabis products.

Watch the 6775 Freezer/Mill grind leather in minutes. Tough, temperature sensitive samples are no match for the Freezer/Mill.

These extractors remove the end plugs from frozen grinding vials with ease. Just place the vials in the extractor's cradle and press the handle. Available for Microvials and small vials.

The new 6808 Vial Extractor easily removes end plugs from large grinding vials for the Freezer/Mill. Mid-Size vials can also be opened using the optional 6808M Mid-size Vial Adapter Kit.

The 6770 Freezer/Mill® was featured on "The Great White Serial Killer" during Shark Week on the Discovery Channel. In this episode, scientists use the Freezer/Mill to grind shark teeth fragments to identity the 16ft Great White Shark responsible for attacks in Surf beach, California USA.
