    High performance in minimum space

    The P6 Planetary Ball Mill is a high-performance bench-top grinding mill for XRF applications. Fitted with a single grinding bowl and user-friendly design, the P6 is easy to operate in the field and in the lab.

    The P6 offers users high-energy effect of up to 650 rpm with loss free grinding. It has the advantage of high grinding performance with extremely low space requirements. Typically, 5 minutes of grinding is enough to make perfect powders suitable for pellet pressing for XRF analysis.

    Outside of XRF the P6 is well suited for perfect mixing of powders, liquids and emulsions, as well as mechanical alloying of metals and other solids.

    This XRF mill is ideal for the following applications

    • XRF Sample Preparation
    • Geology and Mineralogy
    • Ceramics
    • Chemistry
    • Biology
    • Pharmaceuticals
    • Metallurgy
    • Materials Technology
