Planetary Ball Mills - High-Performance all-rounders in routine laboratory work

High-speed and versatile

Planetary Mills are ideally suited for fine grinding of hard, medium-hard, soft, brittle, tough and moist materials. The comminution of the material to be ground takes place primarily through the high-energy impact of grinding balls in rotating grinding bowls.
The grinding can be performed dry, in suspension or in inert gas. In addition to comminution, you can use Planetary Mills for mixing and homogenising of emulsions and pastes or for mechanical alloying and activation in materials research.

  • High-Tech - Planetary Mills premium line
    • Extremely high-speed milling down into the nano range
    • Rotational speed of the grinding bowls up to 2200 rpm
    • Grinding has never been safer due to revolutionary new grinding bowl clamping – without additional clamping and the risk of incorrect operation.
    • Automatic check of the locks of the bowls in the mill
    • Absolutely save due to blocking of the mill in the event of impermissible operating states
    • Grinding bowls are available in different sizes with the same inner diameter for optimal transmission ratio as well as in 6 different materials to prevent undesired abrasion
    • Intelligent bowl detection via RFID chip
    • Software MillControl for automatic control of the mill and validation of the grinding process
    • 11 patents have been granted for the Planetary Mills premium line and 7 utility models are registered
  • All-Rounders - Planetary Mills classic line
    • Fast grinding to below 1 μm
    • Up to 800 rpm
    • Safe clamping of the bowls with the Safe-Lock-System
    • Simple, ergonomic handling and easy cleaning
    • Grinding bowls and balls in 7 different materials to suit all needs and avoidance of contamination through abrasion

  • OVERVIEW

    The fast mill for all tasks

    With a freely adjustable rotor speed of 2,000 – 4,000 rpm, the FRITSCH Cross Beater Mill PULVERISETTE 16 is the ideal universal mill for fast and gentle pre-crushing and fine-grinding of medium-hard, brittle materials up to a Mohs hardness of 6 in laboratories, pilot plants and industry.
    Comminution can take place batchwise or continuously. The maximum feed size for bulk solids is up to 25 mm. For batchwise operation, a 5 litre collecting vessel with filter hose is delivered as standard. A 30 litre collecting vessel with filter hose is also available for larger quantities. The final fineness depends on the selection of the bottom sieve and the breaking properties of the respective material. A final fineness of < 100 μm can often be achieved after the first step due to the powerful drive and a rotor speed of up to 4,000 rpm.
    The PULVERISETTE 16 offers highest operational safety: if the quick-clamping lock is opened unintentionally, a safety switch activates the motor brake so that the rotor comes to a stop.

  • WORKING PRINCIPLE

    Impact, friction, shearing

    Comminution in the Cross Beater Mill takes place through impact, friction and shearing forces. The feeding funnel guides the grinding material directly into the centre of the grinding chamber, where it is comminuted between the cross beater and the teeth of the grinding insert. The selected bottom sieve determines the final fineness. The rotating cross beater also creates airflow through the funnel that accelerates the discharging of the ground sample into the collecting vessel. The supplied filter hose can be integrated here to effectively reduce the release of fine dust.

  • FEATURES
    • Max. feed size 25 mm
    • Final fineness < 100 μm already in the first step depending on the material
    • Ideal for the comminution of coal, coke, lime or slate
    • Perfect for fast work with a high throughput
    • Easy-to-change bottom sieves with perforations sizes of 0.12-10 mm
    • Easy cleaning due to grinding tools that are removable without tools
    • Speed adjustment for different applications
    • Batchwise or continuous operation possible
    • Practical grinding chamber quick-clamping lock
    • Easily replaceable impact plates 
    • 1.1 kW three-phase motor with frequency converter, adjustable speed of 2,000-4,000 rpm (in 200 rpm steps) 
    • Toothed grinding tools made of cast iron
    • Trapezoidal and round perforation bottom sieves made of stainless steel in various sizes
    • Useable as a table-mounted or free-standing instrument with support stand (order separately)
    • Extensive accessories for simplifying your daily work

  • EQUIPMENT / ACCESSORIES

    Configure your Cross Beater Mill PULVERISETTE 16 exactly to your specific application

    The Cross Beater Mill PULVERISETTE 16 is equipped with a grinding insert and cross beater made of cast iron, and impact plates made of hardened steel. Also included is a stainless steel 5 litre collecting vessel with filter hose and a bayonet lock that ensures an especially convenient and dust-free connection. The bottom sieve must be ordered separately.
    Bottom sieves made of stainless steel with trapezoidal and square perforation determine the final fineness of the sample. In general, the finer the desired final fineness, the smaller the perforation of the bottom sieve should be; the larger the perforation, the higher the throughput.
    For batchwise operation, a 5 litre collecting vessel with filter hose is delivered as standard. A 30 litre collecting vessel with filter hose is also available for larger quantities. The PULVERISETTE 16 can be easily fixed to a table or the FRITSCH Universal support stand may be ordered.
