8000D Mixer/Mill® – High Energy Ball Mill
The BM-450 Mixer/Mill from Cole Parmer, formerly type 8000D from SPEX SamplePrep, is a powerful ball mill that pulverizes hard or brittle samples until they are fine enough to analyze.
The sample goes into a Grinding Vial with one or more balls after which it is vigorously shaken. The clamp in which the Grinding Vial sits moves back and forth with a short lateral movement in the shape of an 8, producing large G-forces. These are necessary to pulverize the hardest stones, slag and ceramics. The steel housing and robust construction ensures a long life of heavy-duty work.
- Timer adjustable up to 100 minutes.
- Electric motor with shock absorption so it is suitable for on a table
- The clamp swings back and forth 5.9cm with a short lateral movement in the shape of an 8
- A safety locking system protects the Operator
- In case of a mechanical failure, the mill shuts down (by a vibration detection switch)
Because breaking up is hard to do…
