Planetary mills set new standards
These universal bench-top instruments are used for grinding samples such as minerals, ceramics, soils, chemicals and organic material down to a fineness of approximately 0.5um
Optimal grinding of coated tablets
Knife mill is able to grind 20 gelatine-coated tablets in a few seconds to provide a homogeneous sample without clumping, contamination, or alteration to active substances
Even with temporary overloads, the ZM 200 reacts with a powerful throughput.
The extremely rapid reduction in size increases the sample throughput in the laboratory and, in combination with the two-step rotor/screen pulverisation system, is also extremely gentle on the material.
The ZM 200 can be used for the rapid comminution of different materials such as chemicals, plastics, powder coatings, foods and feeds and pharmaceutical products down to a size of 40um.
Thanks to the new ring sieves with slot openings, many plastics can now be ground without prior embrittlement.
Another new highlight are the grinding tools for very small volumes, up to 25ml, (particularly relevant in the pharmaceuticals sector) which are made from corrosion-resistant steel.
The ZM 200 offers maximum operating convenience.
The parameters are easily set via the graphics display and one-button operation.
Thanks to an electronic safety and diagnosis system, operating errors become almost impossible.
The wide range of accessories including the DR 100 vibratory feeder, distance sieves for temperature-sensitive samples and a cyclone with collector, allows a far great number of different size reduction tasks to which the ZM 200 can be easily adapted.
