Our Orbis range consists of dual action fine crushers designed by experts with decades of experience in sample preparation.
The efficiency of the dual action jaws allows for samples to be reduced by up to 55 times their original size. With large mining customers in mind, our flagship OM100 was designed to take drill core samples down to 2 mm in a single pass.
Orbis crushers are used by commercial labs and mining companies globally. With a proven ability to crush samples faster and accurately, Orbis is a popular choice for preparing gold samples for photon assay.

Large Dual Action Jaws
Most jaw crushers are designed so that a single moving plate crushes samples against a fixed plate. Our dual moving plates dramatically increase crushing efficiency and yields. Wear plates can be rotated for additional life. The flagship OM100 crusher is large enough to take up to 15kg of sample.
LIMS Connectivity
Orbis crushers are designed to be fully integrated with your LIMS, to improve sample tracking, increase automation and reduce operator error. Sample weights and split paramaters can be directly imported into the system’s PLC, removing the requirement for manual data entry.

Automated & Accurate Sample Splitting
Orbis crushers feature both Rotary Sample Dividers (RSD) and Linear Sample Dividers (LSD) options. Splitting can be automated with the addition of a PLC controlled smart unit. Samples are weighed, which then allows the system to perform an automated split. Smart systems can be set up in dual configurations, with one central unit controlling two crusher/splitting units.
Robust and Safe Design
Our crushers were designed to withstand harsh mining conditions, processing high volume of samples around the clock. Maintenance is quick and easy by design, to ensure maximum uptime for laboratories of all sizes. Ergonomics can be improved through the addition of a sample lifting accessory.
