Risk of explosion or fire
Changing sample properties
–
Consider that the properties and therefore also the hazardousness of your
sample can change during the grinding process.
• Do not use any substances in this device which carry the risk of
explosion or fire.
This Retsch ball mill is a laboratory device. It grinds and mixes soft, medium-hard
through to extremely hard, brittle and fibrous materials.
Dry and wet grinding may be conducted.
Minerals, ores, alloys, chemicals, glass, ceramics, plant parts, soil, sewage sludge
and many other substances can be ground easily, quickly and without loss. The
ball mills are successfully deployed in almost all areas of industry and research,
especially where there are high demands regarding cleanliness, speed, fineness
and reproducibility.
Only grinding jars from Retsch GmbH may be used.
Grinding with solvents is permitted. In this case the additional comments in the
“Wet grinding with highly flammable materials” chapter should be taken into
consideration, however.
