500mL Classic Grinding Bowl for Fritsch Planetary Mill, Agate

500mL Classic Grinding Bowl for Fritsch Planetary Mill, Agate

Product Description:

The 500mL Classic Grinding Bowl, constructed from high-quality agate, is an essential accessory for the Fritsch Classic Planetary Mill. These bowls are specifically engineered to securely contain both the grinding media (balls) and the sample material during the pulverization process. Each bowl is delivered as a complete set, which includes the grinding bowl, a matching lid, and a seal ring to ensure a tight, loss-free seal during operation.

Key Features & Usage Guidelines:

• Material Suitability: Agate grinding bowls are ideal for processing soft to medium-hard samples. The material is metal-free and highly resistant to abrasion, making it perfect for applications where contamination must be strictly avoided.
• Material Hardness Principle: To ensure effective grinding and prevent contamination, the grinding bowl material must always be harder than the material being processed.
• Balanced Operation: When using multi-station mills, it is crucial to operate with balanced loads across all stations. This means the grinding bowls, grinding balls, and sample volume should be consistent at each position to ensure stable, efficient operation and prevent damage to the mill.
• Counterbalancing: If operating with an uneven number of bowls, a counterweight is necessary. A simple and effective method is to use a spare grinding jar of equal total mass, filled with a material like fine sand, to balance the load.
• Capacity: This 500mL bowl has an effective working capacity for sample volumes ranging from 80mL to 225mL.

Ordering Information:

• Grinding Balls: Please note that grinding balls are not included with the bowl and must be purchased separately. It is recommended to use agate grinding balls with this bowl to maintain material purity.
