• 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 for ball milling
• Low-voltage DC motor, which allows use in an 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

• Input: 110 or 220 VAC Single Phase, 50/60 Hz 
• Universal switch power adaptor with 24 VDC output 1000W is included
• Power: 450 W

• Planetary Centrifugal Mixing with 223 G impact force with a single container
• Fixed speed ratio (0.4X between the main plate revolution and the container rotation)
• 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

• 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

• • 100 mL containers with adapter and gas vent, made of high-density Polyethylene (Pic. 5)
  • 30 mL containers with adapter and gas vent, made of high-density Polyethylene (Pic. 6)
  • An adaptor for three 30ml jars for high-throughput mixing (Pic. 7)
  • Air-tight container for milling air-sensitive materials (Pic. 8)

• Warning: Overload may damage the device. Please follow both the volume and weight limits as above when loading the sample

• 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.

• 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,
    • An 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 to supply pressurized gas without changing the glove box environment.
    •      

• 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 open

• CE certified
• NRTL or CSA certification is available upon request at an extra cost.

• 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, or 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
