The SELFRAG Lab system is designed as an innovative solution for the fragmentation of complex materials such as ores, electronics and other recycled materials, and is seeing increasing usage in the field of comminution and mineral processing.

The SELFRAG Lab is a laboratory-scale electrodynamic high voltage pulse power (HVP) batch processing unit. It is a standard ‘off the shelf’ HVP system and is in use in over 45 universities and research institutions worldwide. A mature technology in its second version uses patented SELFRAG high voltage pulsed power technology to electrodynamically fragment t and liberate individual phases from composite materials. The system delivers a series of 90 – 200kV electric pulses up to 5 times per second (5Hz) through a material; to selectively fragment it along phase boundaries.

The system is the first of its kind to be purposely built for ease of use by operators without high voltage or electrical engineering experience. The Lab is designed for use by everyone, from undergraduate students to professors in academia, and from lab assistants to CEO in industry. It features a built-in touch panel where equipment settings like electrode gap, pulse voltage, pulse repetition rate/frequency, and number of pulses can be easily adjusted between a minimum and maximum set values.  The software stores user settings and processing data of the previous single batch in a digital memory system. An online connection allows fast support and helps from SELFRAG- experts for troubleshooting or any other support.
