Excellent performance and durability Ball mill
nanoparticle preparation
This is a very high-performing instrument and it is used for the preparation of nanomaterials including new crystalline phases of perovskite materials. We have used it extensively for making semiconductor nanoparticles, perovskite nanoparticles, quantum dots, etc. It is a very rugged and user-friendly instrument and we have been using it over a decade without much trouble. It's a highly recommended instrument for material research.

it is a versatile instrument that cuts the grinding time by orders of magnitude.
Analyzing rock samples
The Retch ball mill we have purchased is easy to use in terms of loading and digital display control. The six griding vessels greatly amplify the number of samples that can be run at a given time.

Planetary Ball Mills are used wherever the highest degree of fineness is required. Apart from the classical mixing and size reduction processes, the mills also meet all the technical requirements for colloidal grinding and have the energy input necessary for mechanical alloying processes. The extremely high centrifugal forces of the Planetary Ball Mills result in very high pulverization energy and therefore short grinding times.
The PM 100 is a convenient benchtop model with 1 grinding station.
Product advantages:
- Powerful and quick grinding down to nano range
- Perfect stability on lab bench thanks to FFCS technology
- Innovative counter weight and imbalance sensor for unsupervised operation
- Comfortable parameter setting via display and ergonomic 1-button operation
- Automatic grinding chamber ventilation
- 10 SOPs can be stored
- Programmable starting time
- Power failure backup ensures storage of remaining grinding time
- Reproducible results due to energy and speed control
- Suitable for long-term trials and continuous use
- 2 different grinding modes (dry and wet)
- Optional pressure and temperature measuring system PM GrindControl
- Measurement of energy input
- Wide range of materials for contamination free grinding
- Safety slider for safe operation

Use of Laboratory Grinders for Size Reduction of Human Bones and Bioceramics
Bone implants and substances for bone regeneration are used in surgery to replace degenerated bone material by implants or to “re-build” it with specific substances. The material used in implants varies from autogeneic (supplied by the patient) through allogeneic (supplied by a donor) bones to replacement materials such as hydroxylapatite (HA) and tricalcium phosphate (TCP). Bovine bones and corals are used in conjunction with synthetically produced foamed materials to form a basis for the regeneration of bone substance. In this application note learn how milling can be used to prepare such materials for use.
As Fine as Necessary
A variety of methods can be used to analyse solid materials. What they all have in common is the need to use a representative, homogeneous analysis sample which has to have a particular fineness, depending on the analytical method used. Size reduction and homogenisation of solids is usually carried out with laboratory crushers and grinders. Download this poster to read about such grinding and crushing methods and their applications.
Using Planetary Ball Mills to Generate Nanoparticles
This application note from Retsch demonstrated how planetary ball mills can be used to produce nanoparticles for various areas of research. The grinding results show that planetary ball mills are suitable for producing particles in the nanometer range. Aspects such as the choice of grinding ball size or dispersion medium have a crucial influence on the success of the process.
