Vials for grinding typically have an internal brittle samples in the 10-gram range. volume of 50 to 60 ml with a grinding capacity of up to 25 ml Functionally described as a shaker mill or a and a blending capacity of up to 50 ml. They are available in high-energy ball mill, the 8000D Mixer/Mill is tool steel, stainless steel, tungsten carbide, alumina ceramic, capable of rapidly reducing solids to analytical zirconia ceramic, silicon nitride and agate. Plastic vials and balls are also available for making emulsions and fineness or blending a wide range of powders. blending powders. The largest plastic vial has an It is also very effective for mechanical alloying. ® internal volume of 135 ml. With two clamps for increased throughput, the 8000D also features a variable range electronic timer, sleek, modern design, forced-air cooling, a safety interlock, and vials in a wide choice of materials. The dual clamps of the 8000D Mixer/Mill not only allow twice as many samples to be ground at a given time, but also move in balance, reducing vibration and extending the life of the mill’s components. A fan keeps the motor and clamp mechanisms cool during operation. It is recommended that vials for the 8000D Mixer/Mill be purchased and used in pairs; when only one sample is being ground, the other vial should be clamped in place without sample or ball to maximize the balanced operation of the mill. Controls New LCD membrane control panel reduces dust contamination. The electronic timer of the 8000D Mixer/Mill displays the programmed running time; while the mill is operating, the timer also counts down the amount of time left in the run. Push-button controls include start, stop, and pause functions as well as timing programming. The timer is factory-set for a maximum of 100 minutes, but this may be extended to 1000 minutes for special applications such as mechanical alloying. Safety Features The 8000D Mixer/Mill is equipped with a safety interlock so that it cannot be operated with the lid open. Each clamp has a lock nut to prevent it from loosening while the mill is running. The motor is also equipped with a thermal overload protector. The 8000D also meets European CE directives. Maintenance The 8000D Mixer/Mill is nearly maintenance-free. All ring bearings in the motor and clamps are sealed for years of operation, and the drive belt is extremely durable and should rarely need adjustment. 15 Liberty Street • Metuchen, NJ 08840 Tel: 732.623.0465 • Fax: 732.906.2492 800.522.7739 (800.LAB.SPEX) E-mail: sampleprep@spexcsp.com www.spexsampleprep.com Online Ordering European Division SPEX CertiPrep Ltd. 2 Dalston Gardens Stanmore • Middlesex HA7 1BQ United Kingdom TEL: +44 (0) 208 204 6656 E-mail: sales@spexcertiprep.co.uk
