The KN 295 Knifetec laboratory mill is ideal for preparation of high fat, high moisture and fibrous samples prior to analysis, such as oil-seeds, prepared foods, meat products, fruit, vegetables, grains, seeds and feed.
Fast sample preparation
A high speed rotor ensures rapid sample preparation from two to ten seconds, preparing up to 200ml of sample in one go. Timer control ensures reproducible sample preparation time after time.
Easy and safe to operate
The modern design ensures easy operation. A removable sample bowl with lid makes sample handling easy, while a safety switch prevents accidental operation of the mill when the lid is removed. Knifetec can be operated single handed.
Built for the job
A robust design makes Knifetec easy to maintain and clean between samples with a water cooled grinding chamber that protects heat sensitive high fat samples.
Sample type
For high fat, high moisture and fibrous samples. Up to 200ml sample (30-200g)
Technology
Grinding with a high speed rotor blade and timer control ensures very fast and reproducible sample preparation time after time.

Accessories
- Rotor blade sharp - standard: The vast majority of applications work perfectly with this standard rotor blade.
- Rotor blade for small sample volumes
The blades are situated lower in the bowl than the standard rotor blade. In addition it has sharp edges.
- Rotor blade for pellets
The blades are situated on different levels, one lower and one higher, which helps to prevent pellets lodging under the rotor. In addition it has sharp edges.
- Lid with funnel for pellets
This lid with a mounted funnel feed, enables the user to safely add ‘kibbles’ (pet food pellets) with the lid in place and the motor running. This prevents ‘tripping’ of the safety cut out caused by overloading the grinding chamber in normal use.
- Stainless steel sample tray
A stainless steel sample collection tray, makes transfer of ground sample to sample storage bottle quick and easy.
