Our high energy ball mills redefine the way materials are processed, offering unmatched speed, performance, and versatility. In fields such as chemistry, pharmaceuticals, materials science / mechanochemistry, or environmental analysis, our mills are engineered to meet the most demanding needs.

Mulini a sfere ad alta energia

High energy input significantly enhances grinding efficiency, leading to finer and more homogeneous particle size distributions. This is crucial in applications where the quality of the final product relies on its particle size and distribution. In challenging applications like mechanochemistry, the energy input, along with the action mode, temperature, ball mill size, and mixing effects, can influence the reaction outcome. To facilitate experiments across a spectrum of speeds, from moderate to high energy, four RETSCH models are particularly noteworthy: PM 300, Emax, MM 500 nano, and MM 500 vario. The acceleration these mills can achieve depends on the sun wheel size and maximum speed (planetary ball mills) or amplitude and frequency (mixer mills).

Il mulino a sfere ad alta energia Emax, il più potente del portfolio RETSCH, raggiunge il più alto input di energia con velocità fino a 2000 giri/min, con un'accelerazione di 76 g. Questo, combinato con il suo principio di funzionamento unico e il design della giara di macinazione, produce una distribuzione granulometrica eccezionalmente stretta, riduce al minimo i tempi di macinazione o reazione e genera particelle ultrafini. Inoltre, il suo design garantisce movimenti delle sfere con impatto e attrito simultanei, che migliorano l'effetto di miscelazione.

Il mulino a sfere planetario PM 300 è dotato di una grande ruota solare e di una velocità massima di 800 giri/minuto, raggiungendo accelerazioni fino a 64,4 g. Insieme alla possibilità di utilizzare quattro piccole giare di macinazione impilabili da 12 a 80 ml per operazioni su piccola scala, o due giare fino a 500 ml per operazioni di upscaling, questo modello è molto adatto per applicazioni di ricerca in meccanochimica.

Il mulino PM 400 con quattro stazioni di macinazione è disponibile con rapporti di velocità 1:-2,5 e 1:-3, con un conseguente elevato apporto di energia, solitamente vantaggioso per le applicazioni meccanochimiche.

I Vibro Mulini MM 500 Nano e MM 500 Vario funzionano a una frequenza massima elevata di 35 Hz, con conseguente accelerazione significativa. Ciò accelera il processo di macinazione, migliora la finezza delle particelle e aumenta l'apporto di energia per le reazioni meccanico-chimiche.

Mulini a sfere ad alta energia - FAQ

Why is a high energy input required?

A high energy input is beneficial for mechanochemical applications as it helps to increase the yield; for very hard samples to crush them more efficiently; for research in general as it provides more options to try out different settings.

Is it always beneficial to work at maximum speed to increase the energy input?

No, it strongly depends on the sample material and application whether a very high energy input is beneficial. For some materials it may lead to undesired caking effects due to the sample getting warm. A warming effect also needs to be avoided for temperature-sensitive materials.

Is cooling required for high energy ball mills?

Yes, cooling helps to compensate the warming effects. Another option is working with cooling breaks.
