The Retsch Planetary Ball Mill PM 400 MA is a high-performance milling machine engineered for mechanical alloying and demanding applications.

Equipped with four grinding stations and a speed ratio of 1 : -3, the PM 400 MA ensures efficient mixing and homogenization of materials—whether hard, soft, brittle, fibrous, or moist. Its powerful motor achieves rotational speeds up to 400 rpm, delivering fast, precise grinding results.

Designed for ease of use, the mill features a digital display for simple monitoring and control, along with a robust, durable construction ideal for rigorous laboratory environments. Safety is a top priority, with features such as a safety switch, protective housing, and overload sensor system.

Mechanical alloying is a powerful technique used across industries like materials science, chemistry, and pharmaceuticals. This process combines repeated cold welding, fracturing, and re-welding of powder particles in a high-energy mill to create advanced alloys and composite materials with enhanced properties.

The Retsch PM 400 MA is perfect for research, material development, and quality testing. Its versatility, precision, and reliability make it an essential tool in any lab or production setting.

Invest in the Retsch Planetary Ball Mill PM 400 MA for consistent, exceptional milling performance, and experience the unmatched power of mechanical alloying.
