Product information "IKA A-MMT.100 Spare Parts Kit for MMT 40.1 / MMT 100.1, 0020003378"

Tribological degradation and preventive maintenance

The multi-pass grinding chambers of the IKA Tube Mill series (MMT 40.1 and MMT 100.1) operate at the extreme limits of mechanical capability. Rotational speeds of up to 25,000 revolutions per minute, combined with highly abrasive sample matrices (such as mineral ores or rocks), generate massive tribological friction forces on the dynamic sealing elements and mechanical bearings. This continuous stress inevitably leads to gradual degradation of the elastomers and microscopic wear on the rotating contact surfaces. The IKA A-MMT.100 spare parts kit restores the grinding chamber’s original kinematic and thermodynamic integrity by replacing the system’s process-critical wear parts before metrological or mechanical failure of the batch occurs.

Restoration of system hermeticity and aerosol containment

A fundamental safety consideration in the dry grinding of toxic, biohazardous or highly potent active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) is the absolute prevention of leaks. If the elastomeric seals become brittle due to thermomechanical stress, the grinding chamber loses its function as a hermetic containment system. Microscopically fine, respirable dust (aerosols) could escape into the laboratory environment through the compromised O-rings. The preventative replacement of the sealing elements using the A-MMT.100 set fully restores this critical physical barrier and guarantees complete protection for the user in accordance with the strictest occupational safety regulations.

Kinematic stabilisation and resonance suppression

Worn mechanical components within the grinding chamber axis not only cause leaks but also generate fluid dynamic imbalances. This eccentricity of the rotating shaft leads to high-frequency vibrations, which place a strain on the Tube Mill’s magnetic drive and exponentially increase thermodynamic friction (exothermic reaction) within the sample chamber. The installation of brand-new replacement parts ensures that the drive shaft is once again precisely coaxially aligned. This mechanical resonance suppression ensures that the kinetic energy flows loss-free into the impact comminution of the sample and that the analytical reproducibility of the particle size distribution is permanently maintained.

Individual requirements & accessories

The reusable MMT 40.1 and MMT 100.1 systems offer a high degree of analytical flexibility; however, unlike single-use jars (MT series), they require strict adherence to maintenance intervals. To prevent cross-contamination (carry-over) and mechanical failure, wear parts must be replaced at regular intervals depending on the abrasiveness of the sample matrix. For laboratories processing high volumes of hard rock samples, we recommend always keeping several spare parts kits in stock to ensure that the ongoing analytical workflow is not interrupted by safety-related downtime. Please contact our procurement service at any time regarding the strategic procurement of maintenance kits.

To grind small, dry samples whilst preventing any cross-contamination between batches: that is what the IKA Tube Mill control is designed for. The batch mill operates with a patented disposable grinding beaker with a volume of up to 40 ml, achieves a speed of up to 25,000 revolutions per minute and is specifically designed for hard, brittle materials such as seeds. After grinding, the jar is not cleaned but replaced with a new one, which saves time between samples and eliminates the risk of carry-over. For laboratories that process many small batches in succession, for example, in seed testing, this is precisely what makes the difference to their daily workflow.Disposable grinding beaker with safety featuresThe supplied MT 40 has a maximum capacity of 40 ml of sample material and is designed to process hard, brittle and dry materials up to Mohs hardness 5 with a maximum feed particle size of 10 mm. The grinding jar and cover are made of transparent plastic, allowing for visual inspection during the grinding process. The safety feature detects if the grinding jar is missing or not correctly sealed and prevents the machine from starting; an error message appears on the display. The jar remains closed during operation; a labyrinth seal between the drive and the jar retains dust, whilst the housing itself is dust-tight, thereby also reducing noise levels in everyday laboratory use.Display, timer and interfaceA multilingual OLED display shows speed, timer and error codes; operation is via a dust-tight membrane keypad. The timer ranges from 5 seconds to 3 minutes; interval operation can be activated if short pauses between grinding phases are required, for example to allow the chamber to cool down in the meantime. Test conditions can be programmed and saved, making repeated grinding runs reproducible without having to reset the speed and time each time. A USB-B interface connects the mill to a computer for experiment control and documentation; the appropriate cable is supplied. Heat-sensitive material can also be cooled using dry ice without the need to open the beaker.Typical applicationsThe 40-ml beaker is particularly suitable for small to medium sample sizes, such as those encountered in routine seed testing.Grinding of seeds such as maize and wheat prior to analysisBatch sample preparation without the need for cleaning between batchesDigestion of hard, brittle and dry materials up to Mohs hardness 5Reproducible test series thanks to stored programmesTechnical detailsMax. working volume40 ml (MT 40)Motor power input / output100 W / 80 WSpeed range5,000 to 25,000 rpm, deviation ±2 %Maximum peripheral speed65 m/sFeed materialup to Mohs hardness 5, particle size max. 10 mmDuty cycle (ON)3 minInterfaceUSB-BPermissible ambient conditions5 to 40 °C, max. 80% relative humidityConnected load220 to 240 V, 50/60 Hz, 100 W (100 to 120 V version available)Protection classIP 30 (DIN EN 60529)Dimensions W x H x D180 x 170 x 300 mmWeight2.7 kgScope of delivery1 x Tube Mill Control drive unit1 x MT 40 milling tube, 40 ml1 x MMT 40.1 reusable grinding beaker1 x Coupling extractor1 x USB A-to-B cableAt the end of its useful life, this electrical appliance must be disposed of via the separate collection scheme for waste electrical and electronic equipment and must not be placed in household waste.Individual requirements and procurement serviceThose who regularly grind larger sample volumes of up to 100 ml are better served by the IKA Tube Mill 100 control, which also accommodates the larger MT-100 beaker. For seed and grain analysis involving high beaker consumption, the IKA Tube Mill control Agriculture Solution combines the same drive unit with a set of 10 disposable grinding beakers. Additional grinding chambers and accessories for IKA mills can be requested via our procurement service, as can customised combinations of several beaker sizes. IKA provides a 2-year manufacturer’s warranty on the unit, which is extended to 3 years upon registration at ika.com/register within 90 days of purchase.Frequently Asked QuestionsWhat is the capacity of the grinding beaker supplied?The MT 40 has a maximum capacity of 40 ml; a reusable beaker (MMT 40.1) is also included.Will the unit start even if the beaker is not correctly sealed?No, the safety electronics detect a missing or incorrectly sealed beaker and will then prevent the unit from starting.How long is the warranty valid for?IKA provides a 2-year manufacturer’s warranty, which is extended to 3 years if you register at ika.com/register within 90 days of purchase.What is the difference between the Tube Mill control and the Tube Mill 100 control?The Tube Mill control is designed solely for the 40-ml beaker, whilst the Tube Mill 100 control also accommodates the larger 100-ml beaker and is therefore slightly taller and heavier.Can the ground material be cooled?Yes, the grinding chamber can be cooled with dry ice whilst the beaker remains closed.What is the difference between the MT 40 and the MMT 40.1 supplied with the unit?The MT 40 is a disposable beaker for cross-contamination-free individual samples, whilst the MMT 40.1 is a reusable beaker of the same size for applications where this is not a requirement. Both are included in the Scope of delivery.

Crushing seed samples before analysis brings a recurring problem in practice: after every grinding run the chamber has to be cleaned, otherwise residual material is carried over to the next sample, and with cereal varieties of different origin this quickly adds up to a real time problem. The IKA Tube Mill 100 control solves this with patented disposable milling tubes. The batch mill accepts milling tubes of up to 100 ml, a smaller 40 ml tube is included, and it reaches a speed of up to 25,000 revolutions per minute. Between two samples no tube is rinsed, it is replaced, which saves time and rules out carry-over of residual material between batches.Two milling tube sizes on one drive unitThe drive accepts both the larger MT 100 (100 ml) and the MT 40 (40 ml), both of which are included in the scope of delivery. The milling tube and the cover hood are made of transparent plastic, so the grinding process remains visible from outside. Hard, brittle and dry materials up to Mohs hardness 5 and a maximum feed particle size of 10 mm can be processed, and the working principle is a combination of cutting and impact crushing. Heat-sensitive material can be cooled in the chamber with dry ice, the duty cycle is 3 minutes at a time, after which the drive needs a short pause. For serial analysis with a consistent tube shape the smaller MT 40 is usually sufficient, larger sample quantities belong in the MT 100.Operation, timer and safety shut-offA multilingual OLED display shows speed, timer and error messages, and operation is via a touch keypad. The timer covers a range from 5 seconds to 3 minutes, and interval operation can be switched on when short pauses between grinding phases are needed, for example to let the chamber cool down in between. Test conditions can be programmed and saved, which makes repeat tests reproducible without setting speed and time anew each time. The mill only starts with the hood closed, and a safety speed and time can be set. A USB-B interface connects the device to a computer for test control and documentation, and the matching cable is included.Typical applicationsCrushing seeds such as maize and wheat before quality analysisSample preparation in series, without cleaning between batchesDisintegration of hard, brittle and dry materials up to Mohs hardness 5Reproducible comparative analysis through saved test conditionsTechnical detailsMax. usable volume100 ml (MT 100), additionally 40 ml (MT 40)Motor power input / output100 W / 80 WSpeed range5,000 to 25,000 rpm, deviation ±2 %Max. peripheral speed65 m/sFeed materialup to Mohs hardness 5, particle size max. 10 mmDuty cycle ON3 minInterfaceUSB-BPermissible ambient conditions5 to 40 °C, max. 80 % relative humidityConnected load220 to 240 V, 50/60 Hz, 100 W (100 to 120 V variant available)Protection classIP 30 (DIN EN 60529)Dimensions W x H x D180 x 212 x 300 mmWeight2.8 kgScope of delivery1 x Tube Mill 100 control drive unit1 x MT 100 milling tube, 100 ml1 x MT 40 milling tube, 40 ml1 x MMT 40.1 reusable milling tube1 x Coupling extractor1 x USB-A-B cableAt the end of its service life, the device belongs in the separate collection of waste electrical equipment as an electrical device and not in household waste.Individual requirements & procurement serviceIf you only need the smaller MT 40 tube, you are usually better served by the IKA Tube Mill control without the additional 100 ml tube. For seed and cereal analysis with a higher consumption of disposable tubes there is the preconfigured IKA Tube Mill control Agriculture Solution with 10 disposable milling tubes in the set. Further grinding chambers and matching accessories for the mills from IKA can be requested via our procurement service, and this also applies to replacement tubes and special configurations.
