Powder Refinement & Mixing

Cole-Parmer BM-450

The Cole-Parmer SamplePrep BM-450 Mixer/Mill is a dual-clamp, high-energy ball mill used for mechanical alloying, powder size reduction, and homogeneous mixing of materials. It supports experimental alloy development and research-scale powder refinement.

  • Process Mechanical milling and blending
  • Functions Mechanical alloying, size reduction, mixing
  • Batch Scale Small-batch, research-scale
  • Mill Type Dual-clamp high-energy ball mill (figure-8 clamp motion)
  • Sample Size 0.2–25 g per clamp (2 clamps)
  • Clamp Speed 1,060 cycles/min (115 VAC, 60 Hz)

Unique Capabilities

  • Mechanical milling and blendingCombines powders into homogeneous blends and enables mechanical alloying of experimental compositions.
  • Particle size refinement and homogenizationReduces particle size and improves compositional uniformity of alloy powders.
  • Research-scale batchesSmall batch sizes suit experimental alloys and costly feedstocks where only limited material is available.
