Cole-Parmer® SamplePrep Mixer/Mill® High-Energy Ball Mills

Easily pulverize hard or brittle samples to analytical fineness in minutes

Use these powerful ball mills for mechanical alloying, slurry grinding, blending powders, mixing emulsions, and mechanochemistry. The sample is placed in a grinding vial with one or more balls, then shaken vigorously. The clamp swings back-and-forth 2-1/3” (5.9 cm) with a short lateral “figure-8” movement, producing strong G-forces on the vial to pulverize the toughest samples. Adjustable clamp accepts vials in various materials to effectively grind all sample types and to avoid contamination from specific elements. View time remaining on the digital display. Pause and stop buttons let you pause or stop any time during the process. Order dual-clamp model for high-throughput applications.

These rugged mixer mills come with many safety features. Vibration detection switch shuts down the mill in the event of mechanical failure. Safety interlock and lid latch ensure user safety. Forced air cooling fan prevents overheating. Shock-mounted electric motor cuts back vibration and prolongs motor life. Steel housing and rugged construction ensure a long life of heavy work.
