Product Overview


This high-performance equipment represents an advanced solution for mechanochemical synthesis and specialized material processing, integrating high-energy planetary grinding with targeted photochemical irradiation. By applying mechanical impact, friction, and customizable light energy concurrently, the system drives simultaneous particle size reduction and localized photon activation. This dual-energy input enables researchers and industrial developers to synthesize novel photocatalysts, accelerate solid-state reactions, and functionalize material surfaces in ways that traditional grinding or pure photochemical methods cannot achieve independently.
Designed for demanding research and industrial laboratories, the unit excels in processing fine, brittle, low-viscosity materials of medium-to-low hardness. Primary applications include the synthesis of semiconductor-supported photocatalysts, anchoring noble metal nanoparticles, mechanochemical organic and inorganic reactions, and preparing ultrafine powders for advanced electronics and environmental technologies. Whether conducting dry dispersion or wet liquid-phase milling, the mill delivers repeatable, sub-micron particle distribution across diverse material profiles.
Built to withstand continuous operation under challenging laboratory conditions, the unit features a fully enclosed design with an IP65 protection rating, protecting internal drive systems and electronic controls from dust and moisture. The combination of precision planetary kinematics, robust tempered glass reaction vessels, multi-spectrum LED arrays, and comprehensive safety interlocks ensures dependable performance, exceptional run-to-run consistency, and total operational safety.
Key Features
