The SM-450 Sample Mill is a compact, high-performance batch mill designed for precise grinding of small sample volumes.
It is widely used across industries such as food, pharmaceuticals, environmental sciences, and chemical analysis.
Its efficient design and cooling capabilities(SM-450C) make it ideal for preparing temperature-sensitive samples.
Key Features of the SM-450 Sample Mill
1. High-Speed Grinding Mechanism
- Equipped with a Stainless steel cutter, the SM-450 operates at high speed to quickly break down samples through impact forces.
2. Cooling Capability with SM-450C
- For temperature-sensitive materials, the Laboratory mill can be cooled with chiller to prevent heat buildup and preserve sample integrity.
3. Stainless Steel Construction
- The SM-450 grinding chamber and cutter are made of stainless steel, ensuring durability, easy cleaning, and reduced cross-contamination risks.
4. Compact Design
- With its small footprint, the SM-450 is suitable for small laboratories or research setups, where space is often limited.
5. Optional Transparent Lid for Monitoring
- Users can easily monitor the grinding process through the transparent lid without interrupting the operation.
6. Capacity and Motor Performance
- It can handle sample volumes of up to 150 ml(200ml WITH SM-450L), making it ideal for batch processes. The high-speed motor ensures quick and reproducible results.
How the SM-450 Laboratory Mill Works
1. Sample Preparation:
- Place up to 150 ml of dry sample material into the grinding chamber.
2. Starting the Grinding Process: *
- Close the lid securely.
- Switch on the mill, and the stainless steel cutter begins rotating at low speed,incease the speed to high speed, breaking down the sample through impact.
3. Monitoring and Completion:
- Observe the process through the optional transparent lid. Once the desired fineness is reached, switch off the mill.
- Carefully remove the sample and clean the chamber for the next use.
