Planetary Ball Mill PM 100

Description

The Planetary Ball Mill PM 100 from Verder Scientific is a benchtop grinding instrument used for the fine and ultrafine size reduction of diverse sample types. It operates on the principles of impact and friction, generating high centrifugal forces that deliver substantial pulverization energy for efficient processing of soft, hard, brittle, or fibrous materials, in both dry and wet conditions. With one grinding station, the unit is suitable for applications demanding high fineness, including mixing, homogenization, colloidal milling, and mechanical alloying. Its design incorporates features such as FFCS technology for bench stability, an imbalance sensor for unsupervised operation, and a centrifugal grinding mode for gentler size reduction with reduced abrasion. User operation is facilitated via a display and one-button control, allowing storage of up to ten standard operating procedures. Additional features include automatic chamber ventilation, a power-failure backup, and options for monitoring pressure and temperature during grinding. The mill is utilized across multiple fields, including agriculture, biology, chemistry, materials science, pharmaceuticals, and environmental research.
