Grinding and DispersingAPEX LABO / A-LABO
A small-capacity bead mill that can easily obtain grinded products on the order of nano to micron. A high-performance mill that can obtain strong grinding power by agitating the beads filled in the container at high speed and can further atomize materials in a short time that are difficult to atomize with a paint shaker or ball mill. Due to its sealed structure, it can be safely processed even with organic solvents.
Low and competitive price
Overview
A batch bead mill that can grind and disperse with a small sample of 30cc to 80cc. Fine beads of φ15μm to large diameter beads of φ1mm can be used and supports a wide range of applications from strong grinding of hard materials to low damage dispersion of soft materials that are susceptible to particle damage. It is ideal for atomizing materials in the laboratory, examining treatment conditions, and selecting dispersants because it can handle small quantities, has high grinding / dispersion performance, and is compact in size.
There is also a lineup of a triplet type that handles three vessels at the same time, which can further improve efficiency.
Features
- 1. Even a small amount of sample can be atomized!
- It can process a sample amount of 30 to 80cc suitable for research. It is possible to atomize expensive materials or materials that are difficult to obtain. A-LABO can efficiently carry out trial production of new products, establishment of processing conditions, and examination of dispersant prescriptions.
- 2. Can be atomized from nano to micron size!
- Bead diameter and rotation speed have large freedom, so a single unit handles various processing conditions. Processing such as atomization to nano size, atomization of hard materials in a short time, and low damage dispersion of soft materials is possible.
Bead diameter: φ15μm to φ1mm
Peripheral speed: 2m/s to 12m/s - 3. Desktop compact design! Can also be installed in fume hood!
- It has a compact design that can be carried around and supports 100V, so it can be installed anywhere. It can be installed in the fume hood and can handle organic solvents and harmful substances safely. Explosion protection is also available.
- 4. Data can be collected for selecting large machines!
- From the experimental data, information such as capacity estimation and size selection for large machines of the Apex Mill series can be obtained.
