Cement & construction materials
Clinker, limestone, and masonry subsamples reduced to a controlled fine fraction ahead of Blaine, XRF, or chemical QC routes.
Overview
The Vector VTR-1012-C Gaia is a continuous vibratory disc mill for nonstop laboratory and plant sample preparation — combining a fixed ring-and-puck grinding cell with automatic feed and built-in fractionation so high-volume workflows keep running without batch changeovers.
Material in the 2–3 mm size range is metered at a constant rate from the top-loading hopper into the grinding cell. After vibratory milling, particles pass through a built-in proportional sample divider that continuously discharges material finer than 0.5 mm — delivering a steady fine fraction for XRF, fusion, or automated splits while oversized material recirculates in the cell.
The Gaia suits large-volume preparation rooms and industrial QC lines that need uninterrupted operation across shift work. Vector configures hopper capacity, divider ratio, and wear parts for your throughput targets — from cement and clinker routes to exploration geology and process-plant certification.
