Planetary Ball Mills

The innovative Planetary Ball Mills meet and exceed all requirements for fast and reproducible grinding down to the nano range. They are used for the most demanding tasks, from routine sample processing to colloidal grinding and mechanical alloying. The grinding parameters are easily selected and stored with one single button. All planetary mills feature programmable starting time, power failure backup with storage of remaining grinding time and a built-in fan which cools the grinding jars during operation. The comfort grinding jars are dust-tight and unusually simple and safe to handle.

Planetary Ball Mill PM 100

This single station ball mill pulverizes and mixes a wide range of materials and can be operated with grinding jars from 12 ml to 500 ml. It is especially safe to operate on a laboratory bench thanks to the new FFCS technology which helps to compensate vibrations.

Planetary Ball Mill PM 100 CM

This ball mill offers all the performance and convenience of the classic PM 100, only the speed ratio of sun wheel to grinding jar is 1:-1 instead of 1:-2. This results in a different ball movement so that the sample is not so much crushed by impact effects but more gently ground by pressure and friction. This not only leads to less abrasion but also reduces the heat build-up inside the jar.

Mixer Mill MM 200

The Mixer Mill MM 200 is also used for efficient size reduction and homogenization of 2 samples simultaneously. It works with the same functional principle as the MM 400. This mill is highly suitable for grinding dry samples in small quantities and offers a favourably priced alternative to the MM 400 for routine applications. The grinding jars for the MM 200 have a push-fit lid.

Mixer Mill MM 400

The RETSCH Mixer Mill MM 400 is a true laboratory “all-rounder”. It has been developed specially for dry, wet and cryogenic grinding of small sample amounts. This high-performance ball mill usually grinds and homogenizes powders and suspensions in only a few seconds and achieves grind sizes down to the nano range. It is also perfectly suitable for the disruption of biological cells as well as for DNA/RNA recovery. Due to its great versatility, the MM 400 is used in many different industries ranging from pharmaceutics and biology to mineralogy, environment or plastics.
