| Amazingly versatile, the SPEX SamplePrep 5200 Micro Hammer- Cutter Mill rapidly
pulverizes almost anything dry and friable. It takes up a minimum of bench space, and it
will handle a range of samples that would ordinarily require several different mills. Dried
plants and roots, paper and cloth, soil samples, coal and peat, chemicals and soft rocks
all grind quickly with little loss of sample. The innovative design utilizes high-speed
revolving hammers and a serrated grinding chamber lining to combine the shearing
properties of a knife mill with the crushing action of a hammer mill.
Operation of the 5200 Mill is quite straightforward. Up to 100 ml of the sample material is
placed in the hopper. A slide at the bottom of the hopper is manipulated to feed small
amounts of the sample into the grinding chamber. When the material has been
sufficiently pulverized, it drops through a perforated-steel screen at the bottom of the
grinding chamber into a tightly fitted collecting tube.
Particle size and rapidity of grinding are determined by interchangeable screens and a
variable-speed motor control. A circuit breaker prevents overloading, and a safety switch
turns off the motor when the grinding chamber door is opened. All grinding chamber
components are made from 410 stainless steel. The hammers and liner can be easily removed for cleaning.
