How Pelletizing Works
Compact the sample powder into a hard, flat-surfaced pellet for XRF measurement. It is fast and low in cost per sample, so it suits routine quality control.

Pour the sample powder into the prepared die.
- Press with high force
The press applies from 15 to 40 tonnes, in manual or automatic electric models.
- A pellet ready to measure
You get a hard, flat pellet that goes straight into the XRF.
