Dual Mixer/Mill^® 8000D – High Energy Ball Mill

The newly redesigned SPEX Dual Mixer/Mill 8000D is a high energy ball mill with dual clamps that accommodates sample sizes ranging from 0.2 – 10 grams. Ideal for grinding dry, brittle samples, mechanical alloying, slurry grinding, blending powders, and mixing emulsions.

The new design provides a more robust housing that ensured longevity and reliability. The new control panel also facilitates simple operation.

Other features that make it suitable for use in your lab include, increased sound-proofing for reduces noise and while vibration damping makes the Mixer Mill suitable for benchtop operation.
