Retsch PM100/200 Planetary Ball Mill
The Planetary Ball Mill PM 100 is a powerful benchtop model with a single grinding station and an easy-to-use counterweight which compensates masses up to 8 kg. It allows for grinding up to 220 ml sample material per batch.
The Planetary Ball Mill PM 200 is a powerful benchtop model with 2 grinding stations for grinding jars with a nominal volume of 12 ml to 125 ml.
The extremely high centrifugal forces of Planetary Ball Mills result in very high pulverization energy and therefore short grinding times.
