The High Energy Ball Mill Emax, the most powerful in the RETSCH portfolio, achieves the highest energy input with speeds up to 2000 rpm, resulting in an acceleration of 76 g. This, combined with its unique function principle and grinding jar design, produces an exceptionally narrow particle size distribution, minimizes grinding or reaction times, and generates ultrafine particles. Additionally, its design ensures ball movements with simultaneous impact and friction which enhances the mixing effect.
The Planetary Ball Mill PM 300 features a large sun wheel and a maximum speed of 800 rpm, reaching accelerations up to 64.4 g. Together with the option to use four small, stackable grinding jars sized 12 to 80 ml for small scale operations, or two jars sized up to 500 ml for upscaling purposes, this model is highly suitable for research applications in mechanochemistry.
The PM 400 with four grinding stations is available with speed ratios 1:-2.5 and 1:-3, resulting in high energy input which is usually beneficial for mechanochemical applications.
The Mixer Mills MM 500 nano and MM 500 vario operate at a high maximum frequency of 35 Hz, resulting in significant acceleration. This speeds up the grinding process, improves particle fineness, and increases energy input for mechanochemical reactions.
