Fields of Application
The typical fields of application of the PYRO 260 are:
Mining

When the PYRO is employed, coke, coal and other difficult samples types can be processed rapidly by following the tailor-made application that Milestone specialists will prepare for you.
Food & Feed

The PYRO enable the ashing of multiple sample food types from milk powder to flour, from salami to butter cookies, by reducing acid fumes exposure of the analysts and processing more samples in less time, reducing the daily operating costs.
Polymers

Plastic polymer, polypropylene, natural rubber, rubber tire pleastic with silica, PVC: all come into the laboratory at once and can be ashed efficiently and with facility of use.
Pharmaceutical

The PYRO offers the possibility to ash difficult samples such as: NTF, Tartaric Acid, Cellulose Microcrystall, PPF, Lactose, Antibiotic, Flut, Lort, Oxolonic Acid, Mesalazina, Terazosine, Atenolol and so forth.
Petrochemical

Petrochemical samples (heavy oil, fuel oil and lubricant oil) can be easily processed with the PYRO.
