Mixer Mill MM 500 NANO

The mixer mill MM 500 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. Hence, the MM 500 isaunique 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.

Product Advantages

- New jar design allows for optimized usage of jar volume also for wet grinding
- Final fineness < 100 nm possible thanks to maximized energy input at 35 Hz
- Less warming effects, thus grinding can usually be done without grinding breaks for cooling down.
Result: You get your nano sample within the shortest time
Very easy, comfortable clamping and handling of the grinding jars
Jars can stay clamped while taking a sub-sample or visual checks of fineness
Ergonomic design with touch display for easy parameter setting
12 SOPs & 4 program cycles with up to 99 repeats to facilitate routine applications

Flexibility

Equally suited for rapid pulverization
Use one large grinding ball in the High Impact mode or several smaller balls in the High Friction mode
Use the MM 500 nano for routine sample preparation applications, for nano-grinding or for research applications such as mechanochemistry and mechanical alloying
