MSK-SFM-11-H500 High-Temperature Rotary Ball Mill with 500ml Jar, Gas Flow, 500°C & 3 Bar Pressure Capability
The MSK-SFM-11-H500 is designed for advanced mechanochemical processes requiring controlled high temperatures and gas atmospheres. This rotary ball mill supports milling under reactive or inert gases at pressures up to 3 bar and temperatures reaching 500°C, making it ideal for catalyst activation, such as CO2 methanation studies, and other high-temperature milling applications.
Its core functionality revolves around a single-axis rotary motion that agitates the milling jar and contents at speeds between 20 and 90 rpm. The milling jar itself is a robust 500 ml stainless steel vessel equipped with gas inlet and outlet valves, needle valves, and a pressure gauge to precisely regulate and monitor the internal atmosphere. A swiveling support ensures the gas flow system remains stable during rotation, enabling continuous gas exchange or pressurization without interruption.
