“More than an alternative to a planetary ball mill”
The mixer mill MM 500 nano is a compact, versatile bench-top unit which has been developed specially for dry, wet and cryogenic grinding of up to 2 x 45 ml sample material within seconds. With a maximum frequency of 35 Hz, it generates enough energy to produce particles in the nanometer range. The robust high-performance drive makes the mill suitable for long-term grinding processes up to 99 hours and thus very interesting for research and mechanochemistry.
Hence, the MM 500 nano is a unique mixer mill in the market to provide a real alternative to grinding in a planetary ball mill – with more comfortable handling and less warming effects.
