Select mills based on the type of sample you are working with, the sample capacity and the desired particle size.<\/p>\n
These use multiple grinding surfaces usually as opposing plates that move in opposite directions with a disc or puck moving and grinding materials on a plane.<\/p>\n
Impact mills have a moving impactor that pulverizes a sample through repetitive motions<\/p>\n
The ball mills grind through impact of a grinding media such as balls, rods, etc.<\/p>\n
These mills use high speed vibrations and grinding media to combine multiple grinding forces to reduce materials to fine powders. These mills can include grinding forces and media like balls, beads and grinding media.<\/p>\n
Combination mills use multiple techniques and forces such as combination of ball media with vibratory and shaking motions<\/p>\n
Shatterbox\u00ae<\/a> \u2013 Ring and puck mill used for rapidly pulverizing brittle materials such as cement, slag, ores, and ceramics.<\/p>\n Freezer\/Mill\u00ae<\/a> \u2013 uniquely designed to cryogenically grind samples normally considered difficult or impossible to pulverize at ambient temperatures.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.coleparmer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Examples-of-mills.jpg\")
