Grinding/DispersingApex LABO / LABO
The Apex LABO is a small capacity bead mill that can easily perform grinding and dispersion experiments.
Batch type tabletop compact bead mill.
Overview
A new experimental bead mill for R&D has been added to the long-selling “Apex-series.” This is a batch-type bead mill at a reasonable price and with a short delivery time. Furthermore, it is possible to scale-up to the production scale of Apex-series machines.
Characteristics
- 1. The Apex LABO performs grinding/dispersion tests under a wide range of conditions.
- By combining each appropriate rotor peripheral speed and bead diameter, it is possible to perform a wide range of processing from “grinding hard particles” to “dispersion with low particle damage.”
- 2. Apex LABO is ideal for basic research with a small sample volume.
- For a grinding and dispersion test using the Apex LABO, only a small sample volume is needed (it is possible to complete a test with a sample volume of 50 to 150 ml). Hence, this model is suitable for testing rare samples, many tests of various types of materials, selection tests of dispersant, etc.
- 3. It is possible to scale-up to the production scale of Apex- series machines.
- The Apex LABO is a newly developed batch type mill that meets customer needs, such as “easy/convenient grinding and dispersing processing” and “evaluation with small sample volume.” Because the basic structure is similar, scale-up to a continuous Apex-series can also be quantitatively evaluated. This model is ideal as a device for basic experiments.
- 4. The Apex LABO enables experiment evaluation in various locations.
- Because the Apex LABO is compact and supports a normal single phase power supply, it is mobile and can be used for experiments in various locations.
