Kinetics of impact comminution on an enlarged scale and its relevance to materials science
In the analytical sample preparation of hard, brittle matrices (such as rocks, soil samples or mineral solids), the application of substantial mechanical energy is essential. The IKA MTT 100 single-use grinding beakers operate on the process engineering principle of high-speed impact and shock comminution and extend the isolated working chamber to a large volume of 100 ml. Driven by the magnetic coupling of the IKA Tube Mill base station at up to 25,000 revolutions per minute, the integrated rotor transfers immense kinetic energy to the solids. The enlarged chamber geometry creates enhanced three-dimensional flow turbulence (vortex), which continuously forces representative cross-sections of the sample into the impact zone. However, the key process-engineering modification of this beaker lies in the material properties of the impact tool: it is made of solid titanium rather than conventional stainless steel.
Metallurgical interference and abrasion prevention
A fundamental mechanical problem when comminuting hard, abrasive samples is tribological tool wear, which is further exacerbated on a macroscale (100 ml) by the increased particle collision rate. Collisions between the matrix and a conventional stainless steel beater inevitably lead to metallic abrasion. This introduction of foreign ions (specifically iron, chromium and nickel) causes significant spectroscopic interference and metrological errors in sensitive trace analysis (such as AAS, ICP-OES or ICP-MS). The use of the MTT 100 titanium beater avoids this introduction of foreign metals from the stainless steel beater.
Single-use vessel and carry-over on a macro scale
The high-speed grinding of extremely hard samples induces significant thermodynamic stress (exothermic reaction). The chamber wall, made of high-performance thermoplastic, absorbs these kinetic impacts and thermal loads from the 100-ml batch without fracturing. As a ‘single-use’ vessel, the beaker reduces the risk of analytical cross-contamination (carry-over) between consecutive batches, as the decontamination of conventional grinding chambers is no longer required.

Individual requirements & accessories
The MTT 100.10 grinding beakers are highly specialised consumables for the analytical solid-state spectroscopy of representative cross-section samples. The metrological selection of the correct beaker is essential: for large-volume standard grinding operations where the iron content of the sample is irrelevant, opt for the standard MT 100 beaker (stainless steel beater) for economic reasons. However, as soon as element-specific trace analysis on an enlarged scale is required, switching to the MTT version with a titanium rotor described here is recommended in order to avoid systematic measurement errors caused by stainless steel abrasion. Please contact our procurement service at any time for strategic demand planning of your analytical consumables.
Fits
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 rules out 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 milling tube, 100 ml1 x MT 40 milling tube, 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.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.
