Buehler EcoMet 30 Manual Grinder Polisher for Metallographic Sample Preparation
The Buehler EcoMet 30 is a manual grinder polisher built for low-volume metallographic sample preparation. Available in single or dual platen configurations, it handles samples of any size on 8″, 10″, or 12″ (203–305mm) platens — giving labs a reliable, straightforward polishing machine without the complexity of programmable systems.

- Platen removal: Tool-free platen removal for fast media changeover between grinding and polishing steps
- Rinse and spin: Integrated rinse and spin feature cleans the platen and polishing bowl between runs — reduces cross-contamination between steps

Choose Your EcoMet 30 Configuration
EcoMet 30 Single vs Twin: Which Configuration Is Right for Your Lab?
The EcoMet 30 is available in two configurations. The choice comes down to lab workflow and user count.
EcoMet 30 Single — choose this if:
- One operator runs samples sequentially through grinding and polishing steps on a single platen
- Lab space is limited
- Sample volume is low and a single-station workflow is sufficient
EcoMet 30 Twin — choose this if:
- Multiple operators share the machine simultaneously — each platen operates independently
- Workflow requires grinding and polishing to run in parallel — one platen on SiC paper, one on polishing cloth
- The double bowl on the twin version enables fast setup of multi-step processes without swapping media between each step
- Higher throughput is needed without stepping up to a semi-automatic system
