A 11 basic Analytical mill

Batch mill for 2 different grinding procedures:

This analytical batch mill is designed for flexible laboratory size reduction, allowing users to switch between two proven grinding principles depending on sample characteristics.

Analytical batch mills of this type are widely referenced in laboratory practice for sample preparation prior to analytical techniques such as spectroscopy, chromatography, and material characterization. Industry documentation and application notes consistently describe impact and cutting grinding as reliable, reproducible methods for processing a broad range of organic and inorganic materials. User feedback from laboratory environments highlights consistent particle size reduction, chemical resistance of PTFE grinding chambers, and suitability for both routine and specialized sample preparation. Common applications include food analysis, polymer testing, pharmaceutical research, and materials science, where users value the ability to process hard, brittle samples as well as soft or fibrous materials using a single device.

Impact grinding of hard, brittle or non-elastic materials is performed using a high-grade stainless steel beater.

This beater can be used for materials with a Mohs hardness up to 6 (included with delivery).

Cutting grinding for soft and fibrous materials is achieved using a cutting blade (not included with delivery), making the mill suitable for pulverizing elastic or plant-based samples.

• Moist and gluey materials can be pulverized by adding water
• Grinding chamber made of Tefcel (PTFE, glass fiber-reinforced) with stainless steel inlet (1.4571), useful volume 80 ml (included with delivery). Suitable for embrittlement of grinding materials with liquid nitrogen directly in the grinding chamber
• Optionally, a 250 ml grinding chamber is available

Scope of delivery

• A 11 basic Analytical mill
• A 11.1 Spare beater

Q&A

What types of materials can this batch mill process?

The mill is suitable for hard, brittle, non-elastic materials using impact grinding, as well as soft, fibrous, or elastic materials using a cutting blade. This covers a wide range of laboratory samples including food products, polymers, pharmaceuticals, and inorganic materials.

Can moist or sticky samples be ground effectively?

Yes. Moist and gluey materials can be successfully pulverized by adding water during the grinding process, which helps prevent clogging and improves sample flow.

Is cryogenic grinding possible with this mill?

Yes. The PTFE grinding chamber is suitable for embrittlement of samples using liquid nitrogen, allowing efficient grinding of heat-sensitive or elastic materials.

What grinding chamber sizes are available?

An 80 ml PTFE grinding chamber is included as standard. A larger 250 ml grinding chamber is available as an optional accessory for higher sample volumes.
