Ortho Clinical Diagnostics - Planetary Ball Mill PM 100
Manufactured by Ortho Clinical Diagnostics
Pulverizes and mixes a wide range of materials and can be operated with grinding jars from 12 mL to 500 mL.
The Planetary Ball Mill PM 100 CM pulverizes and mixes soft, medium-hard to extremely hard, brittle and fibrous materials. It is used wherever the highest degree of fineness is required. Dry and wet grinding can be carried out.
The PM 100 CM operates in the centrifugal mode, i.e. the speed ratio is 1:-1 (PM 100: 1:-2). This results in a different ball movement which leads to a more gentle grinding of the sample with less abrasion.
Application Examples:
alloys, bones, ceramics, charcoal, chemical products, coal, coke, electronic scrap, fibres, glass, limestone, minerals, ores, paper, plant materials, quartz, seeds, sewage sludge, soils, waste samples, wood, ...
