PCVSS14 14 mL Air-Tight 65Mn Steel Alloy Container for Vacuum Planetary Centrifugal Milling
The PCVSS14 container is designed for high-performance vacuum planetary centrifugal milling applications, specifically for processing air-sensitive materials into nanoscale powders. Its 14 mL capacity suits small sample volumes requiring precise control and protection from atmospheric exposure. The container is compatible with planetary centrifugal vacuum mixers such as the MSK-PCV-300-LD and MSK-PCV-310AR models, which utilize ultra-high gravity acceleration to achieve efficient mixing and milling.
Constructed from durable 65Mn steel, the container features an air-tight design that enables loading and unloading samples within a glovebox environment without air contamination. The left-hand screw mechanism ensures secure closure during high-speed rotation, preventing loosening and potential sample spillage. Users must adhere to recommended volume and weight limits to avoid motor damage or sample loss.

It is commonly used in nanomaterial synthesis, advanced material research, and sample preparation workflows demanding ultra-high gravity acceleration and precise atmosphere control.
Configuration & Operating Notes
- Use only the specified container and adapter to ensure safe operation.
- Load samples within recommended volume and weight limits to avoid motor damage or spillage.
- Operate the mixer on a stable, level surface and avoid hazardous atmospheres or incompatible materials.
- After use, clean and apply PTFE coating to prevent rusting of the steel container.
- Do not open the container or mixer cover until rotation has fully stopped to ensure safety.
- Balance sample loading carefully and verify secure mounting before starting the milling process.
