Planetary mill for nano grinding

Achieve precise nano-scale particle production and uniformity for demanding research environments through advanced planetary milling, enhancing the development of cutting-edge materials and technologies.

Grinds and Homogenizes Materials into Nanoparticles

The Planetary Mill PULVERISETTE 5 premium line from FRITSCH is designed for high-precision grinding, mixing, and homogenizing materials into nanoparticles. Utilizing a dual grinding station, it operates based on the planetary principle, achieving efficient comminution via high-energy impact and friction. This mill is optimized for applications in geology, materials research, and nanotechnology, producing rock samples, metal alloys, and ceramic powders. With ServoLOCK clamping, it ensures operational safety by preventing start-ups in unsafe conditions. Capable of processing up to 2 x 225 ml, it supports up to eight programmable settings, integrating with optional MillControl software for enhanced monitoring. The equipment is available with various grinding bowl materials to prevent contamination and support inert gas use, ensuring versatility across chemical, biological, and pharmaceutical applications.
