Colloid mill PM 400

balllaboratoryfor sample preparation

The PM 400 is a robust floor model with 4 grinding stations and accepts grinding jars with a nominal volume from 12 ml to 500 ml. It processes up to 8 samples simultaneously which results in a high sample throughput. The extremely high centrifugal forces of Planetary Ball Mills result in very high pulverization energy and therefore short grinding times. The mill is ideally suited for tasks in research like mechanochemistry (co-crystal screening, mechano-synthesis, mechanical alloying and mechanocatalysis), or ultrafine colloidal grinding on a nanometer scale, as well as for routine tasks such as mixing and homogenizing soft, hard, brittle or fibrous materials. For mechanical alloying of hard-brittle materials, the PM 400 is available in a special “MA” version. The high-volume Ball Mill for high throughput applications Max. speed 400 rpm, large sun wheel Up to 10 mm feed size and 0.1 µm final fineness 4 grinding stations for jars from 12 ml up to 500 ml, jars of 12 – 80 ml can be stacked (two jars each) GrindControl to measure temperature and pressure inside the jar. Aeriation lids to control the atmosphere inside the jar Floor model, storable SOPs and cycle programs, 5 different jar materials for dry and wet grinding Reproducibility, safety and easy handling Reproducible results due to speed control Easy and safe clamping of grinding jars The Safety Slider prevents starting the machine without securely clamped jars Innovative counterweight and imbalance sensor for unsupervised operation Comfortable parameter setting via display and ergonomic 1-button operation Automatic grinding chamber ventilation 10 SOPs can be stored, programmable starting time
