Ball & Rod Mill

Product Overview

The Ball & Rod Mill is a bench-top drive unit engineered to rotate grinding jars with precision, making it ideal for sample preparation, particle size reduction, and pulverizing applications in laboratories. Optimized for both wet and dry grinding, this compact and efficient system supports simultaneous operation with two jars, improving throughput and repeatability.

This dual-jar capability enhances laboratory productivity by enabling users to process multiple samples at once. Thanks to interchangeable ball and rod milling configurations, the unit offers flexibility for grinding a wide range of materials, from soft minerals to harder compounds, helping laboratories reach desired fineness levels efficiently.

Designed for quiet operation, the unit s interior is lined with acoustic insulation foam, minimizing noise and creating a comfortable working environment. The safety interlock mechanism ensures safe handling by disabling the system when the safety cover is open.

Grinding Jar Options for Laboratory Use :

3-Liter Alumina Milling Jar

• Crafted from high-purity alumina ceramic, this jar completely eliminates metal contamination risk, making it ideal for sensitive applications such as pharmaceutical, biomaterials, or high-purity mineral analysis.

It is supplied with a full charge of alumina grinding media in various diameters and is compatible with both dry and wet milling.

6-Liter Stainless Steel Jar

• Made from durable AISI 304 stainless steel ( 200 200 mm), Suitable for a wide range of industrial and research samples. This jar is supplied with one charge of chrome alloy grinding balls. It is compatible with both dry and wet milling.

9-Liter Stainless Steel Jar

• Also made from AISI 304 stainless steel ( 200 300 mm), it includes one charge of heat-treated chrome alloy grinding balls and one charge of AISI 304 stainless steel rod for rod milling applications. , offering increased capacity for larger samples or extended milling durations. It is compatible with both dry and wet milling.

With its versatile design, interchangeable grinding media, and noise-insulated structure, the Ball & Rod Mill is the perfect choice for laboratories in need of precise, repeatable, and efficient sample preparation equipment.

Working Principle :

The Ball Rod Mill is an efficient grinding mill for sample preparation, providing both ball and rod options for uniform material reduction.

• Material Loading: Material is placed in the mill, with 6- or 9-liter tube options based on needs.
• Grinding Motion: Circular motion enhances interaction between balls/rods and material, enabling size reduction.
• Adjustable Speed: Rotation speed is adjustable from 0-300 rpm for optimal grinding.
• Result Collection: Ground material is collected, ready for analysis or further use.

This setup supports efficient, reliable sample preparation for various materials.
