In the fast-paced world of mineral testwork and sample preparation, efficiency and accuracy are the lifeblood of reliable results. Every minute saved in the lab means faster reporting, quicker decision-making, and ultimately — better outcomes for clients.
Yet, one of the most overlooked opportunities for improvement lies in how we crush and split samples. Traditionally, these are two separate steps: samples are crushed first, then transferred for splitting. But what if both processes could be done simultaneously, reducing handling time and minimizing contamination risk?
That’s where the BOYD Elite RSD (Rotary Sample Divider) steps in — a game-changing piece of equipment that revolutionizes sample preparation.

The BOYD Elite RSD combines crushing and splitting in a single, seamless operation. The sample is crushed by the high-performance BOYD crusher and immediately split by the RSD into representative subsamples — without the need for manual transfer.
This design innovation eliminates several inefficiencies:
- Manual handling between steps
- Increased contamination risks
- Time lost during transfer
- Instead, you get perfectly representative samples — every time.
Labs using the BOYD Elite RSD have reported significant reductions in turnaround time. When you remove repetitive handling and integrate automation, technicians can process more samples with greater consistency.
For high-throughput environments, this means you can serve more clients, faster, without compromising data quality.
In sample preparation, representativity is everything. The RSD’s automated rotary splitting ensures every portion reflects the true composition of the original sample — ensuring dependable downstream results for assay, mineralogy, or metallurgical testing.
It’s not just about speed — it’s about accuracy that drives confidence.
Combining crushing and splitting isn’t a luxury anymore — it’s a necessity for labs striving to remain competitive and efficient. The BOYD Elite RSD embodies that progress:
For laboratories seeking to optimize their workflow, it’s time to embrace integration and let the equipment do more of the work.
