New Mixer Mill MM 500 vario

Product catalog summary

Overview: The MM 500 vario is a versatile bench-top mixer mill designed for high sample throughput in dry, wet, and cryogenic grinding of small sample amounts. It offers ultimate power and flexibility for laboratory applications.

Applications: The mill is suitable for mechanochemistry, mechanical alloying, size reduction, mixing, homogenization, cell disruption, and cryogenic grinding. It is applicable in fields such as agriculture, biology, chemistry, construction materials, electronics, environment, food, geology, medicine, and material science.

Performance Data: The MM 500 vario operates on the principles of impact and friction, with a material feed size of up to 8 mm and a final fineness of approximately 5 μm. It can handle a batch size of up to 6 x 20 ml across six grinding stations. The vibrational frequency is digitally adjustable between 3 – 35 Hz. Grinding modes include dry, wet, and cryogenic, with grinding tools available in various materials such as hardened steel and zirconium oxide.

Technical Data: The unit requires a 1-phase power connection, has a protection code of IP 30, and a power drive of 750 W. Its dimensions are 690 x 375 x 585 mm, and it weighs approximately 60 kg. It complies with CE standards.

Benefits: The MM 500 vario offers high sample throughput with six grinding stations, achieving faster grinding at 35 Hz compared to traditional mills. It supports grinding jars from 1.5 to 50 ml and is compatible with single-use vials from the MM 400 model.

Dry Grinding of Basalt: The MM 500 vario achieves better fineness in basalt grinding compared to classic mixer mills due to its higher frequency of 35 Hz.

Accessories: The mill can be equipped with screw-top grinding jars in various materials, including hardened steel and PTFE, ranging from 1.5 ml to 50 ml.
