BM-0
Mini ball mill for preparing small samples for analysis.
The BM-0 Mini Ball Mill is a compact milling system for preparing small samples for material analysis, formulation development, and particle-size reduction. It is designed for grinding and mixing solid and crystalline substances in both dry and wet processes.
Based on the tumbling milling principle, the BM-0 uses a sealed stainless-steel drum and milling balls to process powders, pellets, slugs, tablets, crystalline materials, slurries, and wetted powders. Its compact format makes it particularly suitable for laboratory use, R&D applications, and analytical sample preparation.
