The RETSCH 205350001 Planetary Ball Mill PM 400 is a versatile and powerful grinding machine that quickly grinds most soft to hard/brittle materials to a fine particle size of 1µm or less. Whether you need to perform wet or dry grinding, mixing, emulsifying, or homogenizing, this planetary ball mill is the perfect solution.
Featuring grinding bowls that rotate on their own axis while mounted on a counter-rotating platform, the RETSCH 205350001 Planetary Ball Mill PM 400 uses the unique impact and rolling motion of grinding balls to achieve narrow size ranges in a fraction of the time compared to conventional ball mills. With a maximum feed size of 10mm and a generous sample volume of up to 300ml using a single 500ml grinding jar, this machine offers both efficiency and convenience.
The RETSCH Planetary Ball Mill 4-Station is a floor model that provides even greater capacity and flexibility. It can accommodate up to four 500ml jars or eight stacked 50ml jars simultaneously, allowing for larger sample sizes and increased productivity. With a sliding counterbalance weight that compensates for mass and center of gravity, this mill ensures stable and accurate grinding. An additional weight is available for heavy jars, ensuring optimal performance.
The intuitive, one-button rotary selector and multi-language menus make operation seamless and user-friendly. Energy input and speeds ranging from 100-650rpm are electronically controlled for reliable and reproducible results. The energy input is directly measured and displayed in kilojoules for precise control and monitoring. The mill also offers the convenience of storing ten combinations of grinding parameters in memory for easy retrieval.
To promote better mixing and de-caking of samples, the RETSCH Planetary Ball Mill PM 400 features a unique programmable reversing action. The imbalance sensor and force-compensating mounting feet ensure smooth operation and prevent vibration. During solvent-based wet grinding operations, the chamber ventilation fan provides a safe operating environment.
Please note that the Retsch Grinding Jars and Balls are purchased separately to suit individual sample characteristics. These accessories come in various sizes and materials, and our Product Specialists are available to provide expert assistance in matching them to your specific needs.
With its compact dimensions of 32.3x27x42.1 (830x686x1,069mm), WxDxH, and electric requirements of 220-230V/50-60Hz, the RETSCH 205350001 Planetary Ball Mill PM 400 is a reliable and efficient tool for any laboratory or research facility seeking to achieve precise and fast grinding results.
