Planetary Ball Mills

Planetary mills are the effective laboratory mills for rapid batchwise ultra fine grinding down to colloidal fineness of hard to soft materials dry or in suspension. Mixing and perfect homogenising of emulsions and pastes as well for mechanical alloying.

Typical fields of application:


Geology, Chemistry, Mineralogy, Ceramics Industry, Construction Industry, Metallurgy, Electrical Industry, Glass Industry, Nuclear Research, Soil Research, Biology, Pharmacology and Galenic Research, Medicine, Nuclear research, Technology, Spectroscopy, Chromatography, X-ray fluorescence.

Method of operation:


The Planetary ball mills work according to known and reliable planetary system. The sample is primarily crushed by the high-energy impact of grinding balls and in part by friction between the balls and the wall of the grinding bowl.

Features of performance:

  • for brittle to hard solid samples
  • grinding bowls in different sizes and materials
  • feed quantity up to 1000 ml, max. feed particle size 10 mm
  • simultaneous grinding of 1 to 8 samples in a single working process
  • with RS232 interface for programming the grinding parameters, for validation, for instrument controlling...
  • safe lock clamping system for the grinding bowls
  • also available as high-tech instrument with free selectable transmission ratios

5 different models with different feed quantities are available:
