Description
Ball Mills
- Mixer Mills grind and homogenize small sample volumes quickly and efficiently by impact and friction: suitable for dry, wet and cryogenic grinding as well as for cell disruption for DNA/RNA recovery.
- RETSCH’s innovative Planetary Ball Mills meet and exceed all requirements for fast and reproducible grinding down to the nano range: used for the most demanding tasks, from routine sample processing to colloidal grinding and advanced materials development.
- The High Energy Ball Mill Emax is an entirely new type of mill for high energy input: unique combination of high friction and impact results in extremely fine particles within the shortest amount of time.
