Planetary Ball Mill (Net weight – 86 kg)

The Planetary Ball Mill (Net weight – 86 kg) is a powerful benchtop model with a single grinding station and an easy-to-use counterweight which compensates masses up to 8 kg. It allows for grinding up to 220 ml sample material per batch.
The extremely high centrifugal forces of Planetary Ball Mills result in very high pulverization energy and therefore short grinding times.
The Planetary Ball Mill (Net weight – 86 kg) can be found in virtually all industries where the quality control process places the highest demands on purity, speed, fineness and reproducibility.

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.
