MSK-SFM-TR-2K Compact Programmable Tube Roller with LCD Timer for Ball Milling and Mixing, Ar/N2 Glovebox Compatible
The MSK-SFM-TR-2K is designed to facilitate efficient mixing, ball milling, and rotary coating of powders and slurries within inert atmosphere gloveboxes using argon or nitrogen gas. This compact tube roller is ideal for laboratories requiring controlled environment processing of sensitive materials, enabling precise timing and speed control to optimize sample preparation workflows.
Operating on a brushless DC motor, the roller provides a combined rocking and rolling eccentric motion that enhances mixing uniformity while maintaining quiet, maintenance-free operation. The integrated LCD display allows users to program rotation speed from 10 to 70 rpm and set mixing durations between 1 and 1199 minutes, supporting both continuous and timed operation modes. To preserve motor and gearbox longevity, continuous operation is recommended to be limited to under 24 hours.
