Features
|
- Compared with other brands of the planetary centrifugal mixer, MSK-PCV-310AR has the following unique features:
- Single containers for larger quantities at a compact dimension
- The special container used as a ball milling
- Low voltage DC motor which allows use in Ar gas glovebox
- The gas inlet port is built-in for running under an inert gas atmosphere
- Centrifugal acceleration: 223 g Max.
- Sample Materials:
- Nanopowders, Ceramic powders, Slurry, Paste, Mechanical alloying with special alloy jars
|
| Power |
- Input: 110 or 220 VAC Single Phase, 50/60 Hz
- Universal switch power adaptor with 24 VDC output 1000W is included
- Power: 450 W

Mixing
Speed & Force
|
- Planetary Centrifugal Mixing with 223 G impact force with a single container
- Fixed speed ratio (0.4X between main plate revolution and container rotating)
- Main Rotation Platen (revolution motion): 200 rpm - 2,000 rpm (adjustable)
- Container Spin (rotation motion): 80 rpm - 800 rpm (fixed at 0.4X of the revolution speed)
- The centrifugal force of rotation and revolution induces convection to mix high viscosity material up to 80,000 Pa S.
- The compact mixer can be put in a standard glovebox with Ar gas

Containers and Counter-Weights
|
- Three containers are included:
- One 80ml container made of Cr12MoV Steel for ball milling ( Zirconia ball included ) ( Pic. 1 and 2)
- Two 300 mL containers with gas vents, made of high-density Polyethylene (Pic 3 and Pic. 4)
- Total weight limit (containers + samples): 150 g ( dry mixing ) -300g. ( wet mixing )
- Note: dry mixing has more friction than wet mixing due to more friction

|
Control Panel
& Program |
- Touch screen control panel.
- Save up to 6 mixing recipes in memory, as shown in Fig.1 for speed, running time, and rest time
- The maximum running time for each segment is 200 sec. The maximum total running time is 600 sec (Fig. 2)
- Interval and cooling time set up between cycles in Fig 3.
|
| Gas Cooling |
- Cooling gas flow is required to prevent bearings and sample stages from overheating.
- Gas inlet: 6 mm push-to-connect
- The optional equipment can be used as a source of cooling gas.
- If the mixer is placed in the ambient environment,
- Air compressor or N2 gas tank is a common practice to supply 3-5 psig gas
- If the mixer is placed in the glove box,
- Ar/N2 gas tank feeds the mixer via gas feedthrough.
- Place a compact gas pump (24VDC) in the glove box directly to supply pressurized gas without changing the glovebox environment.
|
| Safety and Protection |
- Safety warnings and interlocks are integrated. The unit automatically stops when
- The unit is overloaded with the sample
- The emergency button is pressed.
- The top cover is opened
|
| Compliance |
- CE certified
- NRTL or CSA certification is available upon request at the extra cost.
|
| Application Notes |
- Always use the mixer on a level & stable surface for best performance and maximum safety
- Do not use the mixer in a hazardous atmosphere, or with flammable, explosive, corrosive, poisonous material! Check the chemical resistance of the container with different materials before loading the sample!!!
- Do not overload the mixer! Use a digital balance to make sure the sample loading is balanced before mixing
- Double-check if the containers are mounted correctly and securely before mixing
- Only use the included containers for the mixing operation! Double-check to make sure there is no foreign object in the mixer before mixing
