XQM soil preparation configuration

Soil grinder and sieve machine

A planetary grinding and sieving workflow for soil sample preparation.

Discuss this configuration Test your material

Overview

A planetary grinding and sieving workflow for soil sample preparation. The product information describes an agate-jar arrangement for soil analysis; the mill, jars and sieving hardware should be specified together.

How it works

Planetary motion grinds and mixes the sample before the selected sieving step. Sieve opening, sample recovery and contamination requirements must be defined independently from the mill’s nominal capacity.

Key features

The product information identifies a four-agate-jar configuration for soil work.
The reference XQM base-machine chart supplies dimensions and drive power, but does not define a complete sieve specification.
Jar and media selection should be checked against the elements being measured in the soil analysis.

Specifications

Published catalog references are reproduced below. Nominal volume is not a sample-mass rating. Confirm the selected model, material grade, electrical supply and complete supplied configuration in the quotation.

Applications

Soil and geological sample preparation for laboratory analysis.

Suitability depends on the actual sample, process and analytical requirements; a listed application is not a guaranteed final-particle-size result.

Accessories and options

Discuss agate jars and suitable media, sieve openings, sample handling and the control arrangement. Confirm which accessories are included and which are separate items.

Jar and media: confirm material, volume, holder fit and the complete working load.
Vacuum or gas requirements: specify the complete jar, lid and seal arrangement; no pressure rating is assumed.
Utilities and supply scope: state voltage, frequency, phase, destination and required documents; confirm included versus optional items.

Trials and comparisons

Material/application reference

Ore samples

XQM; exact model not recorded · Two agate-jar sample runs

Sample: 40.2 g and 102 g
Jar: 250 mL agate jar; agate media
Recorded sampling / duration: 90 min per sample

Recorded observations
Sample	Sample mass	D50 (µm)	D90 (µm)
Sample 1	40.2 g	2.82	9.03
Sample 2	102 g	3.62	11.23

This is an ore preparation reference, not a soil-system test or validation of a soil analytical method. Both samples were recorded in one entry, but identical composition/batch and all other conditions are not established. The difference cannot be attributed solely to sample loading. The 3 h total covers two 90 min runs.

How to plan a fair comparison

A useful preparation comparison checks recovery, carryover and the target analytical result as well as size distribution. A D50 result for a mineral powder does not certify a soil-analysis method.

These anonymous records are not operating instructions. Measurement and dispersion methods are not fully specified in the test summaries; results apply to the reported samples and conditions.

Product FAQs

Does the mill specification define the sieve opening?

No. The published reference chart describes milling hardware. The sieve opening, sieve specification and handling arrangement must be confirmed separately for the intended analytical workflow.

How should I select the XQM soil preparation configuration configuration?

Provide the analytical method, elements of interest, starting sample size, required sieve opening and number of samples. Ask for the exact base-machine and sieve arrangement rather than assuming that every reference model is a complete soil system. The product information identifies a four-agate-jar configuration for soil work. Nominal mill capacity is not the usable sample mass; account for media and working space.

Which jars and grinding media should I request for this mill?

The described soil configuration uses four agate jars. Check whether silica transfer is acceptable for the elements being analysed. Choose the jar working material and media around sample chemistry and contamination limits; confirm the complete loaded mass.

Are cooling and ultrasonic equipment included?

Discuss agate jars and suitable media, sieve openings, sample handling and the control arrangement. Confirm which accessories are included and which are separate items. Optional equipment is included only when it is explicitly listed in the agreed configuration and quotation.

What trial evidence is available for this mill?

Ore samples: XQM; exact model not recorded, 40.2 g and 102 g in 250 mL agate jar; agate media, 90 min per sample. This is an ore preparation reference, not a soil-system test or validation of a soil analytical method. Both samples were recorded in one entry, but identical composition/batch and all other conditions are not established. The difference cannot be attributed solely to sample loading. The 3 h total covers two 90 min runs. A free sample-grinding application can be reviewed by TENCAN engineers.

What should I include in an export quotation request?

Specify XQM soil preparation configuration, sample and jar requirements, destination, mains voltage, frequency and phase. Provide the analytical method, elements of interest, starting sample size, required sieve opening and number of samples. Ask for the exact base-machine and sieve arrangement rather than assuming that every reference model is a complete soil system. Confirm included accessories, packing, required documents, commercial terms and lead time in the quotation.
