ShatterBox® ring and puck mill is ideal for pulverizing dry, brittle samples and slurry grinding. To use, place your sample between the puck and the wall of the grinding container, place the clamp over the container, then simply set the timer and run the mill. A puck and ring swing around inside a grinding container at a high speed to crush the samples to analytical quality powder. Clamp adjusts to fit various grinding containers. Safety interlock system and lid gas cylinders offer operator safety. A 10-minute timer counts down the time remaining. Press "Pause" any time to interrupt the grinding cycle. Grinding containers are available in various sizes and materials. Order rack 04578-24 to hold one or three small grinding containers 04576-79 and 04576-80 in the chamber.

Typical samples include cements, soils, ceramics, slag, rocks, minerals, ores, pharmaceuticals, sulfur pellets, and dried plant material.

The Cole-Parmer SamplePrep SM-200 ShatterBox is a powerful and efficient grinding mill that reduces particle size to below 200 mesh, and in some cases, below 10 microns. The ShatterBox is ideal for slurry grinding and pulverizing dry, brittle materials like cement, ceramics, ores, and more.

The ShatterBox swings a dish-shaped grinding container, with a puck and (often) a ring inside, in a tight high-speed circle, quickly crushing the sample. Most grinding containers are fitted with a gasket to prevent sample loss during grinding.

The user-friendly design includes a programmable digital timer with run, stop, and pause functions for precise control. A 10-minute timer counts down the time remaining. Press "Pause" any time to interrupt the grinding cycle. The easy-to-use cam-action clamp securely holds grinding containers in place, and the lockable casters keep the unit stable during operation.

Advanced safety features include safety interlocking lid that prevents accidental opening during operation. The gas cylinders assist lid opening making it smooth and easy to use. The sound-insulated steel cabinet ensures quieter operation, reducing lab noise.

The Cole-Parmer SamplePrep ShatterBox works with various grinding containers made from hardened steel, tungsten carbide, alumina ceramic, and zirconia. Choose the right container for your specific material to minimize contamination and optimize results.

Operation is simple, just load your sample into the grinding container along with the puck or ring. Secure the container using the cam-action clamp, set the timer and start, the ShatterBox does the rest.

Effective September 2023, the Spex® SamplePrep 8530 ShatterBox® has now been rebranded Cole-Parmer® under model number SM-200 ShatterBox®. All the same great features and specifications, just with a new and improved look.
