FRITSCH Planetary Ball Mills – high-performance all-rounder in routine laboratory work.
HIGH-SPEED AND VERSATILE
PULVERISETTE 7
premium line
PULVERISETTE 5
premium line
The Planetary Mill, PULVERISETTE 5 premium line, quickly processes higher volumes of materials down into the nano range. With 2 grinding stations, it is the ideal mill for wet and dry grinding of hard, medium-hard, soft, brittle and moist samples as well as for mechanical alloying, mixing and homogenizing with reliable results. Various applications can be referenced for solid state chemistry, mechanical alloying, formulations, screening, oxides, catalysts, additives & more. Depending on the desired final fineness, the grinding can be performed dry, in suspension or in inert gas. In addition to comminution, you can also use Planetary Mills for mixing and homogenizing emulsions and pastes or for mechanical activation and alloying in materials research. With speeds up to 2200 RPM, and secure automatic clamping system for the grinding bowls, the capabilities are endless.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQs)
Nano particles can be created through high energy milling (HEBM), specifically with Planetary Ball Mills such as the Fritsch Pulverisette line. Utilizing high g-force acceleration, rotational forces, impact, friction, temperature and pressure you can achieve sub-micron particles from materials starting as large as 10mm to <50nm.
Planetary ball mills are unique in offering the ability to homogenize material samples for laboratory preparation. This can be important in methods such as HPLC, MassSpec, Atomic Absorption, XRF, XRD, chemical extraction, NIR, FTIR.
Mechanochemical reactions, also known as “green chemistry” and “solid state chemistry” can be created in a solventless environment with sealed grinding vessels (bowls). Compared to traditional synthesis methods you save energy, chemical waste, time, hazards, and increase direct control of the process. Working in a solvent free environment can enhance the use of inert gases to control exposure to water, oxygen, and other elemental catalysts.
Fast mechano-chemical reactions (solid state or green chemistry) can be done in the premium line planetary ball mills. The efficiency and reaction times are shortened through high energy forces up to 94 x g, at 1100/2200rpm.
Historic methods using impact forces to alloy metals, ceramics, sugars, organics, crystalline structures are slow, inefficient, and offer limited scopes of operation. Planetary ball milling can replace mortars and pestles, rotary ball mills, beater ball mills, vibratory ball mills, extrusion and attrition mills for high efficiency material development.
Prepare challenging samples such as clinker, oxides, silicates, technical ceramics, glass to achieve homogenous, uniform powders. When representative aliquots are required for accurate results, you must crush and divide the full sample. Choosing the most ideal mill or grinding conditions matched to your material physical properties is important. Options for successfully reducing particles of hard materials can be found in the suite of Pulverisette Mills.
