Spectromill® Ball Pestle Impact Sample Grinders and Blenders
TECHNICAL REPRINT
An Investigation of the Performance of Comminution Vials and Ball Pestle Impact Grinders
SpectroMill® Ball Pestle Impact Grinders operate on the principle of propelling ball pestles with a sample substance from one end of a SpectroVial® to the opposite end in a "figure-8" path of travel configuration. The motion is energetic and rapid. The sample is crushed by the ball pestle and "milled" as the ball pestle is guided across the concaved interior ends of the vial to repeat the cycle on the opposite end. The comminution and blending process are controlled by type of sample substance, quantity, time, hardness of the vial and number of ball pestles.
Well-balanced engineering permit stability for counter top operation. A programmable digital electronic timer controls processing time with a LED and audible alarm indicating cycle completion.
Two SpectroMill® versions are available. SpectroMill-I has a single variable vial clamping mechanism that can accommodate one sample or several with a SpectroVial® Single and Multi-Vial Adapter. SpectroMill-II has two variable vial clamping mechanisms for handling similar or dissimilar types of samples. Use of a SpectroVial® Adaptor extends the number of samples.
SpectroMill-I Comminutes One Sample or More Simultaneously
SpectroMill-II Comminutes Two Samples or More Simultaneously
