Q&A
What types of materials can be processed with the M 20 Universal mill?
The M 20 Universal mill is designed for dry grinding of hard and brittle substances, such as minerals, ceramics, dried chemicals, and similar laboratory samples.
Is the M 20 suitable for heat-sensitive samples?
Yes. The double-walled grinding chamber allows water cooling via hose adapters, helping to reduce heat buildup during high-speed grinding.
How easy is it to clean the grinding chamber?
The grinding chamber is removable, which simplifies cleaning between samples and helps prevent cross-contamination in analytical applications.
Can multiple grinding chambers be used with one drive?
Yes. Two grinding chambers can be operated alternately with a single drive, improving workflow efficiency in busy laboratory environments.
