MSK-SFM-11-H500 High-Temperature Rotary Ball Mill with 500ml Jar, Gas Flow, and 3 Bar Pressure Capability
The MSK-SFM-11-H500 is designed for advanced mechanochemical processing where controlled high temperature and gas atmosphere are critical. This rotary ball mill accommodates a 500 ml stainless steel jar capable of operating up to 500°C and pressures up to 3 bar, enabling catalyst activation and other thermal treatments under flowing gases such as argon or nitrogen. Its robust design supports applications like CO2 methanation catalyst preparation and other gas-solid reactions requiring precise environmental control.
The milling jar is mounted on a single-axis rotary device with adjustable speeds from 20 to 90 rpm and features integrated gas inlet and outlet valves with needle valves and a pressure gauge for monitoring. A swiveling support maintains stable gas flow connections during rotation. Temperature is regulated by a heating jacket with a PID digital controller offering programmable segments and ±1°C accuracy. The system includes a 500 g charge of 3 mm yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) milling balls, with options for alternative milling media. The unit operates on a universal 110-240V AC power supply with a 24V DC adapter and consumes up to 250W.
