80mL Classic Grinding Bowl, Hardened Stainless Steel

The 80mL Classic Grinding Bowl, meticulously engineered from hardened stainless steel, is a core component for the Fritsch Classic Planetary Mill. This robust grinding bowl is designed to securely contain both the grinding balls and your sample material, facilitating efficient and precise sample preparation.

Key Features & Benefits of Hardened Stainless Steel:

• Exceptional Durability: Hardened stainless steel provides superior wear resistance, making this bowl ideal for the demanding task of grinding medium-hard to hard samples without significant material loss or deformation.
• Minimized Contamination: For many applications, hardened stainless steel offers a good balance of hardness and chemical inertness, reducing the risk of sample contamination.
• Versatile Application: This material is well-suited for a broad range of samples, including metals, alloys, ceramics, minerals, geological samples, and other materials requiring intensive comminution.

Specifications & Included Components:

• Bowl Size: 80mL nominal volume.
• Optimal Working Capacity: Recommended sample volume ranges from 10–30mL for efficient grinding and optimal energy transfer.
• Complete Set: Each grinding bowl comes complete with a perfectly fitted lid and a high-quality seal ring to ensure a tight closure, prevent sample loss, and maintain process integrity.

Important Usage Guidelines:

• Material Compatibility: It is crucial that the grinding bowl material is significantly harder than the material being ground to ensure effective comminution and prevent wear or contamination from the bowl itself.
• Balanced Operation: When utilizing multi-station planetary mills, maintaining balanced loads is essential for consistent grinding results and to prolong the lifespan of the mill. Ensure that the bowls, grinding balls (sold separately), and sample volumes are consistent at each station. If a station is not in use, it is recommended to place a counterweight (e.g., fine sand of equal total mass) in an empty jar to maintain operational balance.
• Grinding Balls: Please note that appropriate grinding balls must be purchased separately to complete your grinding setup.
