P-6
Efficient ultra-fine grinding down to < 1 µm for demanding material analyses
The P-6 planetary mill enables highly efficient grinding of hard, medium-hard, soft, brittle and tough materials down to an analytical fineness of less than 1 µm. With an average grinding time of just four minutes down to analytical fineness, the system is ideal for applications in geology, mineralogy, metallurgy, materials technology, ceramics, pharmacy, chemistry and biology.
Versatile material processing
The working principle is based on a grinding station with grinding bowls and grinding balls, which processes sample volumes from 0.5 to 225 ml. The speed of the main disk is infinitely variable between 100 and 650 rpm, with a relative cup speed of up to 1,183 rpm. The transmission ratio of 1:-1.82 generates a centrifugal force of up to 29 g, which ensures intensive shredding with short processing times. The maximum feed size is 10 mm, while grinding ball sizes from 1 to 40 mm can be used for a wide range of applications.
Contamination-free sample preparation
Grinding bowls and grinding balls are available in six different materials to specifically avoid contamination: Agate, sintered corundum (99.7% Al₂O₃), silicon nitride, zirconium oxide, hardened stainless steel and hard metal tungsten carbide. The choice of material depends on the sample hardness and desired abrasion resistance - from soft to medium-hard samples with agate to abrasive samples with silicon nitride and hard, abrasive materials with carbide tungsten carbide. Grinding bowls are available in five sizes: 12 ml, 45 ml, 80 ml, 250 ml and 500 ml.
Extended functionality
For special applications, the P-6 can be equipped with a gassing lid for grinding in a protective gas atmosphere, which enables mechanical alloying and activation. The optional EasyGTM system transforms the mill into an analytical measuring system for continuous monitoring of gas pressure and temperature during the grinding process. A single-use technology with special aluminum grinding bowls for tubes further expands the application possibilities.
The compact design as a table-top device (37 × 53 × 50 cm, 63 kg) with imbalance compensation and Safe-Lock tensioning enables both wet and dry grinding. With a power consumption of 1,000 W and universal voltage connection (100-240 V), the P-6 can be used flexibly in various laboratory environments.
