TM 500: Drum Mill
Brand: Retsch | Category: Scientific & Laboratory Equipment
Large drum mill for sample volumes up to 35 litres, grinding by friction and impact down to about 15 µm. It is the unit to use when a single sample is too large for a planetary or vibratory mill, for example in cement, mining and ceramics laboratories.

- XRD-Mill McCrone
Micronising mill developed specifically for preparing samples for X-ray diffraction. Forty eight cylindrical grinding elements arranged in the jar apply a gentle grinding action that reduces particle size below 1 µm while preserving the crystal lattice, which is what a diffraction measurement depends on.
- TM 300: Drum Mill and Bond Index Tester
Drum mill for dry and wet grinding of soft, hard, brittle and fibrous material, with drums from 5 to 43.3 litres. Fitted with the ball or rod module it also serves as a Bond Index Tester, which is the standard way to quantify the grindability of ores and minerals ahead of plant design.
- GrindControl: Pressure and Temperature Measuring System
Measuring system that records pressure and temperature inside a sealed grinding jar during a run and transmits the data wirelessly. It turns a ball mill into an instrument for studying what actually happens during grinding, which matters for mechanochemical reactions where gas is evolved or consumed.
