PQ-N04 series planetary ball mills may be used for mixing, homogenizing, fine grinding, mechanical alloying, cell disruption, small volume high-tech material production and even colloidal grinding. They are the ideal wet/dry milling tools for acquiring research samples with high efficiency and low noise. Vacuum jars may be used to process sample within a vacuum environment.
PQ-N04 planetary ball mills have four shredding stations arranged on the "Sun Wheel" of the planetary ball mill. When the Sun Wheel rotates, the shredding balls inside the jars are subject to superimposed rotational movements, known as Coriolis Forces. The difference in speeds between the shredding balls and jars produce an interaction between frictional and impact forces, which release high dynamic energies. Minimum granularity of the final product can be as small as 0.1 micron.
A timer controls running time from 1 to 999 minutes; it also controls jars' direction of rotation and intervals. We offer various sizes of shredding jars and shredding balls in different materials in our ball mill accessories section. Depending on your application, the material your shredding media is made from may be imperative to achieving accurate results.
