Product description

The Powteq Planetary Ball Mill BM40 220V, 50Hz, with 4 Grinding Stations is a versatile and powerful milling solution for laboratory-scale grinding and mixing of samples. Designed for rapid grinding of soft, hard, brittle, and fibrous materials down to a final fineness of less than 1 µm, it is also suitable for colloid grinding. With its four grinding stations supporting up to 8 grinding bowls, the BM40 offers high throughput and consistent results. The digitally adjustable grinding time and variable sun wheel speed allow precise control, while automatic reversal of direction prevents agglomerations. Its ventilated grinding chamber cools the grinding bowls during operation, making it ideal for continuous dry and wet grinding processes across multiple scientific fields including geology, mineralogy, metallurgy, ceramics, material science, pharmacy, chemistry, and biology.
