The mixer mill MM 500 is a versatile bench-top unit which has been built especially for wet, dry, and cryogenic grinding of up to 2 x 45 ml sample material in a matter of seconds.
With a maximum frequency of 35 Hz, it produces enough energy to create particles in the nanometer range. The strong high-performance drive renders the mill suitable for long-term grinding processes of up to 99 hours.
Therefore, the MM 500 is the first mixer mill in the market to offer a real alternative to sample pulverization in a planetary ball mill – with the added benefits of easier handling and less warming.
Unlike conventional mixer mills, the MM 500 can be used for mechanical alloying or for applications involving chemical reactions.
Application Examples
Alloys, animal feed, bones, coal, ceramics, coke, chemical products, drugs, electronic scrap, grains, glass, hair, minerals, ores, oil seeds, plant materials, paper, plastics, soils, sewage sludge, straw, tissue, textiles, tobacco, tablets, wood, waste samples and wool.
