Du plomb dans les jouets ? Un contrôle s’impose.
Une grande partie des jouets vendus sur les marchés américains et européens est fabriquée en Chine. Or ceux-ci connaissent de vives critiques en ce qui concerne la qualité au vu de la présence de matières potentiellement dangereuses, susceptibles d’aboutir à des actions de rappel et réclamations de dommages et intérêts onéreuses. Plus les cas signalés sont nombreux, plus les consommateurs hésitent à acheter des articles venus de Chine, ce qui justifie donc un contrôle sans failles dans l’intérêt des fabricants. Depuis l’entrée en vigueur de la directive européenne RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances), la limitation de l’utilisation dans les biens de consommation de substances telles le plomb, le cadmium ou le mercure, est clairement réglementée.
Cutting Mill SM 300 - Refinement of a well-proven grinding principle
Cutting mills are used in many different areas of sample preparation for subsequent analyses. Typical applications include the size reduction of secondary fuels, the processing of biomass for renewable energy research, the control of products in the context of RoHS and WEEE regulations or the recovery of precious metals – the variety of sample materials is huge.
Die neue Power Generation
Planeten-Kugelmühlen haben seit jeher einen festen Platz in der täglichen Laborpraxis zur Feinzerkleinerung unterschiedlichster Materialien. Neben dem Mischen und Zerkleinern hat sich in den letzten Jahren auch im mechanischen Legieren z.B. thermoelektrischer oder hochkoerzitiver Materialien ein weiteres Anwendungsgebiet ergeben.

RETSCH’s New CryoMill for Safe and Reproducible Grinding with Liquid Nitrogen
Molienda ultrarrápida y ultrafina
El nuevo molino ultracentrífugo ZM 200 de RETSCH es un molino de rotor no sólo extremadamente rápido y cuidadoso con el material molido, sino también de uso universal gracias a su amplia gama de accesorios.
Powerful Cutting Mill
The SM 300 excels especially in the tough jobs where other cutting mills fail. It has a freely selectable speed range from 700 to 3,000 rpm with high torque. The mill is convenient to operate and easy to clean. Reliable and extremely efficient sample preparation in the laboratory is now guaranteed with the SM 300.
Representative results require adequate sample preparation
The following situation is typical for many production plants: After a routine quality check, the production process is stopped or an already produced batch is suspended, because the analysis results were not within the relevant critical values. But does the tested product really deviate from the specifications? The quality control managers are convinced of this because modern analysis instruments provide results with very low tolerances. The sample in question was tested several times and the result was confirmed. The question is why the product does not match the specifications although the production parameters have not been changed in any way.
The possibility that the tested product is indeed deficient cannot be excluded. However, it is often not the product itself which causes irregular analysis results but a lack of understanding of the steps which come before the analysis.
Sample Preparation of Electronic Scrap in the Context of RoHS and WEEE
Since August 2004 new EU directives for the disposal of used electrical and electronic appliances as well as the restricted use of certain hazardous substances in these devices have become effective.

Size reduction within the context of sample preparation
In general “size reduction” is taken to mean the disintegration of solid substances by mechanical forces without altering their state.
