The BM-400 Mixer/Mill (part #8000M), is a high-energy ball mill that grinds up to 0.2 – 10 grams of dry, brittle samples. 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.
Grinding and mixing vials are available in: hardened steel, stainless steel, tungsten carbide, alumina ceramic, zirconia ceramic, silicon nitride, agate, polystyrene, methacrylate, and polycarbonate. CE Approved.
Applications include: Mechanical alloying, slurry grinding, blending powders and mixing emulsions.
Typical samples include: Rocks, Minerals, Sand, Cement, Slag, Ceramics, Catalyst Supports, Glass, Pharmaceuticals, Plant and Animal Tissues, Cannabis, Seeds, Paints and Ink.
- Wide selection of grinding and mixing vials available including hardened steel, stainless steel, tungsten carbide, alumina ceramic, zirconia ceramic, silicon nitride, agate, polystyrene, methacrylate, polystyrene, and polycarbonate.
- Electronic timer is factory-set for 100-minute range. Extended Running Time Chip is available for extending timer range to 175 hours (10,500 minutes).
- Steel housing protects the clamp mechanism and rugged construction ensures a long life of heavy work.
- Shock mounted motor enables bench top operation.
- Reduces samples to analytical fineness and can be utilized for mechanical alloying and nanomilling.
- For grinding samples in the 0.2 – 10 gram range or mixing up to 50 mL of sample. Multiple-Sample Adapters permit processing of multiple smaller samples.
- Equipped with forced-air cooling and safety interlock system for operator protection.
- Vibration detection switch shuts down the mill in the event of mechanical failure.
