Vertical Planetary Ball Mill with Agate Grinding Jars, 200-1200 rpm Speed Range and Zirconium Oxide Grinding Balls for Laboratory Sample Preparation
A compact, vertical planetary ball mill specifically configured as a mineral crushing and grinding machine for laboratories. This precision instrument utilizes agate components to pulverize soil and geological samples without contamination, making it ideal for geochemistry and materials analysis applications.
Utilizes high-energy impacts from balls inside jars that rotate on their own axis while revolving around a central point. This represents the most efficient method for rapid fine-grinding of brittle materials like minerals and soils.
Specifically designed for processing small quantities of soil, sediment, or rock samples where only a few grams are available for analysis. The agate grinding components ensure chemical inertness and prevent metallic contamination, which is critical for accurate analytical results in techniques like ICP-MS.
Features a space-saving, benchtop vertical orientation with a compact footprint for stable operation in laboratory environments. Capable of both coarse crushing and fine grinding processes in a single operation.
- Crushing: Small rock cores are broken into smaller chips (1-5 mm) using preliminary equipment
- Loading: Chips are placed into agate grinding jars with multiple agate grinding balls
- Pulverizing: Sealed jars operate at high speed for predetermined time periods
- Result: Ultra-fine, perfectly homogeneous powder representative of original sample
- Analysis: Prepared powder used for precise elemental and mineralogical analysis via XRF, XRD, or ICP-MS
