IKA MMT 100.1 Reusable grinding beaker, 100 ml, 0020016315

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 grinding cups. The batch mill accepts grinding cups of up to 100 ml, a smaller 40-ml cup is included, and it reaches a speed of up to 25,000 revolutions per minute. Between two samples no cup is rinsed, it is replaced, which saves time and reduces carry-over of residual material between batches.Two grinding cup 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 grinding cup 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 cup 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)Degree of protectionIP 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 grinding cup, 100 ml1 x MT 40 grinding cup, 40 ml1 x MMT 40.1 reusable grinding cup1 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.Regulatory informationThis device is an electrical appliance within the meaning of the German Electrical and Electronic Equipment Act (ElektroG). The WEEE registration number of the manufacturer, IKA, is DE 66784213. Information on the return of old appliances can be found on our page Environment and disposal.Individual requirements & procurement serviceIf you only need the smaller MT 40 cup, you are usually better served by the IKA Tube Mill control without the additional 100-ml cup. For seed and cereal analysis with a higher consumption of disposable cups there is the preconfigured IKA Tube Mill control Agriculture Solution with 10 disposable grinding cups 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 cups and special configurations. IKA grants a manufacturer's warranty of 2 years on the device, extended to 3 years with registration at ika.com/register within 90 days of purchase.Frequently asked questionsWhich grinding cups fit the Tube Mill 100 control?The MT 100 with 100 ml and the MT 40 with 40 ml, both of which are included in the scope of delivery.Can the device be cooled for heat-sensitive grinding material?Yes, the grinding chamber can be cooled with dry ice.How long does the warranty last?IKA grants a 2-year manufacturer's warranty, extended to 3 years with registration at ika.com/register within 90 days of purchase.What distinguishes the Tube Mill 100 control from the Tube Mill control?The Tube Mill 100 control additionally accepts the larger MT-100 cup, while the Tube Mill control is designed for the MT 40 only.How quickly can the cup be changed between two samples?The cup is released with the coupling extractor and replaced with a new one, with no cleaning required.
