Large Cryogenic Grinding Mill – SPEX Freezer Mill® 6875 & 6875D

Specifically designed for grinding and pulverising tough and/or temperature sensitive samples immersed in liquid nitrogen. SPEX FreezerMills are capable of grinding almost anything.

  • The SPEX 6875 Freezer/Mill® is a large cryogenic grinding mill that accommodates sample sizes ranging from 0.1 – 100 grams
  • The 6875D provides double the capacity with dual grinding chambers, as well as dual pre-cooling chambers for increased throughput

Features

  • Auto-Fill System available for automated filling with liquid nitrogen (standard on 6875D)
  • Closed grinding vials eliminate sample cross-contamination, retain volatiles, control hazardous or critical samples, and simplify clean-up
  • Coil holds one Large Grinding Vial, one Mid-Size Vial, four Standard Grinding Vials, or four Microvial Sets
  • Equipped with liquid nitrogen level sensor and lid safety interlock for operator protection
  • Grinding Vial Sets offered in a variety of materials including polycarbonate, stainless steel, and Cr-free steel
  • Grinds samples in the 0.1 – 100 gram range (per chamber)
  • Large cryogenic impact grinder with self-contained liquid nitrogen tub and insulated case
  • Liquid nitrogen required for operation
  • Magnetically driven impactor is the only moving part so there are no mechanical linkages or bearings to fail
  • Programmable parameters include grinding time, impactor rate, pre-cooling and cooling times
  • Stores up to 20 user-defined grinding programs for quick and easy recall
  • Touch-screen control panel is detachable and can be used for remote operation
  • Run history can be uploaded to a USB memory stick
  • Training videos and manuals available on the touchscreen
  • 2 pre-cooling chambers and 2 grinding chambers increase throughput rates on the 6875D
