The PULVERISETTE 5 classic planetary ball mill, featuring two working stations, enables the rapid and reliable grinding of hard, medium-hard, soft, brittle, viscous, and moist materials down to colloidal fineness—with no loss of sample—thanks to the exceptionally high-energy impact of the grinding balls. Depending on the desired final fineness, the grinding process can be carried out dry, in a suspension, or under an inert gas atmosphere. In addition to grinding, the planetary ball mill can be used for mixing and homogenizing emulsions and pastes, as well as for mechanical activation and alloying in materials science. Technical Data
