Ring and Puck Mill (Vibrating Pulverizer)

BICO Braun Ring and Puck Mill (Vibrating Pulverizer)

The BICO Braun Ring and Puck Mill, also known as a shatterbox, is an advanced and efficient pulverizer designed to handle tough grinding tasks in laboratories and small-scale pilot plants. This machine uses a combination of pressure, impact, and friction to reduce rock, ore, minerals, soil, and other hard, brittle materials to precise, laboratory-grade particle sizes. Ideal for both wet and dry samples, this mill is a staple for materials research, mineral analysis, and sample preparation.

How It Works

The mill operates with an 8-inch (203mm) diameter bowl containing grinding rings and a puck. A rotating eccentric mechanism swings the bowl and its contents on a horizontal plane at a controlled speed and distance, achieving consistent and efficient grinding results. The grinding chamber is fully enclosed with a protective cover to ensure safety and reduce noise during operation. A cam lever system locks the bowl securely in place for worry-free use.

Key Features

• Efficient Pulverization: Quickly reduces hard materials to a final particle size of 150–38µm (No. 100–400 U.S. Standard sieve size), depending on the material.
• Safety Measures: Includes a protective cover, an emergency stop button, and a secure cam lever system for safe operation.
• Noise Reduction: The insulated painted-steel cabinet minimizes noise, making it suitable for quieter lab environments.
• Versatile Sample Handling: Supports both wet and dry samples up to 0.5in (12.7mm) feed size.
• Durable Components: Equipped with a chrome-steel alloy Grinding Set, including an 8-inch bowl, two rings, and a puck.
• Digital Timer: Features a 0–100 minute digital timer that resets automatically for repeatability and ease of use.
