For reliable laboratory analyses
A representative sample is the basis of every reliable analysis. Therefore, milling is an important part of many testing and research processes. At Normec, we process diverse materials to the desired fraction size to make them suitable for further analysis and testing.
Among other things, our services support biodegradability testing, materials research and environmental analysis. In addition, you can also purchase milling as a stand-alone service.
Flexible milling
Not every material requires the same approach. That is why we have various cutting and grinding facilities that allow us to reduce materials in a controlled manner.
Among others, we process:
- Plastic granulates
- Foils
- Fibrous materials
- Elastic materials
- Hard materials
- Flexible wipes and non-wovens
Depending on the properties of the material, our specialists determine the most appropriate processing method.
Customized milling
We can process materials to different fraction sizes, fully tailored to the requirements of your research or analysis.
Frequently requested fraction sizes are:
- Smaller than 2 mm
- Smaller than 1 mm
- Smaller than 500 µm
We also offer suitable solutions for materials that are difficult to reduce. In specific situations, we apply cryogenic milling with liquid nitrogen. This allows even hard or elastic materials to be processed efficiently.
This means for you
- You receive samples in the desired fraction size
- You benefit from reliable and reproducible results
- You save time within your analysis or testing process
- You can have a variety of materials processed by one partner
- You get a solution that fits your specific research question
Global expertise in sample preparation
Normec supports organizations worldwide with high-quality testing and analysis processes. Thanks to our experience, we know exactly which approach is needed to optimally prepare samples.
Our services are characterized by speed, flexibility and a practical approach. In addition, we actively think along with you about the most suitable processing method for your material.
Proper sample preparation prevents delays, increases the quality of analyses and contributes to reliable research results. By properly reducing materials in advance, you create a solid basis for further testing and research.
Whether it is a single sample or a larger series of materials, we are happy to help you with a solution that suits your needs.
