Spex ball mill from Wolflabs
Product Update
Introduction
Spex 8000D ball mill from Wolflabs. The 8000D Mixer/Mill is a high-energy ball mill with dual clamps that grinds up to 0.2 - 10 grams of dry, brittle samples. Ideal for mechanical alloying, slurry grinding, blending powders, and mixing emulsions. The vial, which contains a sample and one or more balls, is shaken in a complex motion that combines back-and-forth swings with short lateral movements, each end of the vial describing a figure-8. The clamp's motion develops strong G-forces in the vial, to pulverize the toughest rocks, slags and ceramics.
Features and benefits
- Accepts all SPEX SamplePrep Mixer/Mill(R) Grinding and Mixing Vial Sets.
- Also called a shaker mill or high-energy ball mill.
- Dual clamps enable multiple sample processing for high-throughput applications.
- Efficient two-clamp laboratory mill commonly referred to as the "SPEX Mill".
- Equipped with forced-air cooling and safety interlock system for operator protection.
- Extended Running Time Chip is available for extending timer range to 175 hours (10,500 minutes).
- For efficiency, clamps are run in balance with the same vial and load in each clamp.
- For grinding multiple samples in the 0.2 - 10 gram range or mixing up to 60 mL of multiple sample per clamp.
- Reduces samples to analytical fineness and can be utilized for mechanical alloying and nanomilling.
- Shock mounted motor enables bench top operation.
- Steel housing protects the clamp mechanism and rugged construction ensures a long life of heavy work.
- The 8010 and 8011 Multiple-Sample Adapters permit processing of multiple smaller samples.
- Variable-range electronic timer is factory-set for 100-minute range.
