P-5
High-energy comminution down to less than 1 μm for large sample quantities
The planetary mill P-5 classic line with four grinding stations enables fast and loss-free grinding down to colloidal fineness. Thanks to the particularly high energy input of the grinding balls, the device is ideal for hard, medium-hard, soft, brittle, tough and moist materials. Depending on the desired final fineness, grinding can be carried out dry, in suspension or under inert gas. In addition to comminution, the planetary mill can also be used for mixing and homogenizing emulsions and pastes as well as for mechanical activation and alloying in materials research.
Comminution according to the planetary principle
The grinding bowls with the ground material and balls also rotate in opposite directions around their own axis on a rotating main disk. Above a certain speed, the centrifugal force causes the grinding material and balls to detach from the inner wall of the grinding bowl. The grinding balls traverse the bowl diagonally at maximum speed and grind the ground material both by crushing it on the opposite bowl wall and by the balls colliding with each other. By rotating the main disk at speeds of up to 400 rpm, the P-5 classic line achieves a centrifugal acceleration of up to 22 g.
Precise and reproducible results
The fixed transmission ratio of 1 : -2.19, speed control and quartz-precise timing ensure exactly reproducible grinding results. The Safe-Lock system enables simple and safe clamping of the grinding bowls with a torque wrench supplied. The microprocessor-controlled speed is displayed digitally on the membrane keypad. Programmable grinding and pause times as well as grinding cycles - adjustable to the second for short-time operation - offer maximum flexibility.
Versatile application options
With a usable capacity of up to four times 225 ml, the planetary mill is particularly suitable for large sample quantities. Up to eight samples can be processed simultaneously. The mill works with 500 ml, 250 ml, 80 ml, 45 ml or 12 ml grinding bowls. Grinding bowls and grinding balls are available in six different materials so that contamination of the samples due to unwanted abrasion can be avoided. Gas flushing lids are available for grinding under protective gas as well as for mechanical activation and alloying.
The optional EASY GTM gas pressure and temperature measuring system transforms the planetary mill into an analytical measuring system for advanced applications in mechanochemistry and materials research.
