Ball mills

QM roller laboratory ball mill

Ball mills grind and mix samples using grinding balls set in motion in a rotating vessel — the method for reaching very fine, uniform granulation. The range includes roller mills (single- and multi-position), large and small ball mills, and planetary ball mills reaching around 0.1 µm. Vessels and balls are available in various materials — stainless steel, zirconium oxide, aluminium oxide or agate.

Ball mills — available models

  • Grinding media balls for ball mills in various materials and diameters

    Grinding media (balls) for mills

    Grinding media — balls and beads for ball and stirred mills in eight materials: zirconia (ZrO₂), agate, corundum (Al₂O₃), 304/316 stainless steel, tungsten carbide, polyurethane, nylon and silicon nitride. Diameters from sub-1 mm beads to 40 mm balls, matched to the sample, jar and target fineness.

    • Eight materials — zirconia (ZrO₂), agate, corundum (Al₂O₃), 304/316 steel, tungsten carbide, polyurethane, nylon, silicon nitride
    • Diameters from sub-1 mm beads to 40 mm balls
    • Zirconia 94.8% ZrO₂ — density ≥6 g/cm³, hardness ≥1250 HV
    • Selection rule — balls harder and denser than the sample and jar walls
  • Small laboratory ball mill RJM30D

    Small ball mill RJM30D

    The small RJM30D laboratory roller ball mill for small samples — three rollers, speed 0–480 rpm and vessels around 65–85 mm in diameter. A compact solution where a large ball mill is unnecessary.

    • Compact roller construction (3 rollers)
    • Speed 0–480 rpm
    • Vessels around 65–85 mm in diameter
    • Vessels and balls in ceramic, agate, steel, zirconia
  • Laboratory stirred bead mill for wet grinding down to nano

    Stirred (bead) mill

    A laboratory stirred (bead) mill for wet grinding and dispersion down to nano fineness. An agitator drives fine grinding beads through a slurry, breaking down pigments, paints, inks, ceramics and advanced materials — with temperature control for viscous media.

    • Wet grinding and dispersion down to nano fineness
    • Agitator + fine beads (below 1 mm)
    • High-viscosity slurries, temperature control
    • Pigments, paints, inks, ceramics, advanced materials
  • Laboratory vibration ball mill for fast, ultra-fine grinding

    Vibration ball mill

    A laboratory vibration ball mill for fast, ultra-fine grinding of hard, brittle and fibrous samples. High-frequency vibration of the chamber breaks the material down in minutes — dry or wet, in small batches for sample preparation.

    • High-frequency vibration — grinding in minutes
    • Ultra-fine result for sample preparation
    • Hard, brittle and fibrous materials
    • Dry and wet grinding
  • GQM multi-position ball mill

    GQM multi-position ball mills

    GQM multi-position ball mills for parallel grinding of many samples — available in 2-, 4- and 8-position versions, for 5–20 l vessels and speeds up to 410 rpm. Vessels and balls in various materials — steel, zirconium oxide, aluminium oxide, agate.

    • 2-, 4- and 8-position versions for parallel work
    • Vessels of 5, 15 or 20 l capacity
    • Speed up to 410 rpm
    • Vessels and balls in steel, zirconia, alumina, agate
  • QM roller laboratory ball mill

    QM roller ball mills

    QM roller laboratory ball mills for accurate grinding and mixing of samples — single-position, with adjustable roller spacing for 0.5–15 l vessels. No dedicated clamps, so they work with vessels from different makers.

    • Single-position QM-5 and QM-15 roller mills
    • Adjustable roller spacing — vessels 0.5–15 l
    • Works with vessels from different manufacturers
    • Speed 40–410 rpm depending on the model
  • Large laboratory ball mill RJM102

    Large ball mills RJM102 and RJM103

    Large laboratory ball mills RJM102 and RJM103 for demanding applications — a maximum load up to 40 kg, speed 0–600 rpm and a time setting up to nearly 100 hours. Robust construction and a wide choice of vessels and grinding balls.

    • Large maximum load — up to 40 kg
    • Speed 0–600 rpm
    • Time setting up to 99 h 59 min
    • Durable, robust construction for intensive work
  • XQM-series planetary ball mill with four positions

    XQM planetary ball mills

    XQM planetary ball mills for very fine reduction — four sample-processing positions, dry and wet grinding and a final fineness around 0.1 µm. Speed up to 670 rpm and continuous operation for long grinding cycles.

    • Final fineness around 0.1 µm
    • Four sample-processing positions
    • Dry and wet grinding of various materials
    • Speed up to 670 rpm, continuous operation
  • Zirconia grinding jar for a laboratory ball mill

    Grinding jars (bowls) for ball mills

    Grinding jars (bowls, chambers) for planetary and roll ball mills in eight materials — agate, zirconia (ZrO₂), corundum (Al₂O₃), 304/316 stainless steel, tungsten carbide, nylon, PTFE and polyurethane. Volumes from 50 ml to 5 L, matched to sample hardness, required purity and grinding mode.

    • Eight materials — agate, zirconia (ZrO₂), corundum (Al₂O₃), 304/316 steel, tungsten carbide, nylon, PTFE, polyurethane
    • Volumes from 50 ml to 5 L (50, 100, 250, 500 ml; 1–5 L)
    • Versions for planetary (XQM) and roll (QM, RJM, GQM) mills
    • Material matched to sample hardness and acceptable contamination
