Planetary Ball Mill PM 300

Description

The Planetary Ball Mill PM 300 is a benchtop milling system from Verder Scientific featuring two grinding stations, each capable of accommodating jars with volumes up to 500 ml. This configuration permits the simultaneous processing of two batches, with a maximum combined sample volume of 2 x 220 ml per run. By achieving speeds up to 800 rpm, the mill produces significant centrifugal forces, resulting in a high energy input—up to 64.4 times gravitational acceleration—that enables rapid pulverization down to the nanometer scale. It is suited for grinding hard, medium-hard, soft, brittle, and fibrous materials via impact and friction, supporting both dry and wet grinding modes. The PM 300 is designed for applications requiring high purity, reproducibility, and fineness, including mechanochemistry, mechanical alloying, mechanosynthesis, and ultrafine colloidal grinding. Operational features include an ergonomic clamping system, automatic directed-air ventilation for jar cooling, a safety slider to prevent operation with unsecured jars, and a touchscreen for parameter entry. The unit can store 12 standard operating procedures and four program cycles, and it accommodates jar materials ranging from 12 ml to 500 ml, with stacking possible for smaller jars.
