Ideally suited to these applications:

• An alternative to the traditional all manually operated ring mill; significantlyreducing the amount of physical work required of the operator and improving their working environment. (Bowl handling & cleaning is eliminated)
• Allows one only operator to address up to 6 or 7 mills
• Integration into a robotic cell

The Autobatch™ is an “automated” adaptation of the very successfulLabtech Essa model LM2 batch ring mill incorporating a permanently attached, self-discharging bowl which is air blast andvacuum cleaned between batches (with the residue going tothe customers dust collection system).

Theunique Labtech Essa ”flyingsaucer” puck style of bowlintegrated into this machineassures a homogeneous sampleis prepared. Bowl discharge andcleaning is controlled by an onboard PLC which also controlsthe milling cycle. Operatorfunctions are reduced to tippingthe feed sample into a feedhopper, pressing a “start” buttonand removing a container thatreceives the milled sample.These 3 only manual operationscan be replicated by a robotthereby making the Autobatch™ideally suited for integration in toa robotic cell.
