IKA MTT 40.10 Disposable grinding beakers, titanium beaters, 40 ml, 10 pieces, 0020015380

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.
