Uncompromising temperature control during wet grinding: the IKA MultiDrive BL 2000 T mixing vessel
In demanding food analysis, biological research and pharmaceutical quality control, the comminution of moist, fatty or fibrous samples (wet grinding) is a fundamental standard process. However, when processing these tough matrices in high-performance mills, the enormous shear forces inevitably generate significant frictional heat. For samples that are highly sensitive to temperature, such as fresh meat, enzyme-containing plant tissue or vitamin-rich vegetables, this uncontrolled rise in temperature is an absolute deal-breaker. Heat leads to the irreversible denaturation of proteins, the destruction of volatile flavour compounds and the fatal distortion of heat-labile analytes. It is precisely for these highly critical, temperature-sensitive applications that IKA has developed the sophisticated MultiDrive BL 2000 T mixing vessel (MPN 0025003962). The crucial ‘T’ in the product name stands for the integrated temperature sensor. This smart 2-litre mixing vessel, designed as a blender, transforms your IKA MultiDrive universal mill not only into a powerful wet grinder, but also into a fully monitored, analytically reliable high-performance system.
The innovation: integrated sensor and RFID data transmission
The technological heart of the BL 2000 T is the seamless, intelligent communication between the mixing vessel and the drive unit. A high-precision temperature sensor is permanently integrated into the base of the vessel, measuring the exact thermal load on your sample in real time throughout the entire grinding process. Data is transmitted from the rotating vessel to the mill entirely wirelessly via state-of-the-art RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification) technology. This design is truly groundbreaking, as it completely eliminates the need for cumbersome, wear-prone plug connections or error-prone sliding contacts, which could be damaged during rinsing. If you use this vessel in conjunction with the IKA MultiDrive control premium drive, you can set a customised, strict temperature limit via the mill’s display. According to IKA, a temperature limit can be set to protect against overheating.
Impressive performance for demanding sample matrices
In addition to its excellent temperature monitoring, the BL 2000 T impresses with its sheer mechanical grinding power during wet grinding. According to the manufacturer’s specifications, the vessel is ideally suited to an extremely wide variety of challenging raw materials: It effortlessly grinds sinewy meat and fatty sausages for food safety testing, pulverises hard soya beans for nitrogen determination, processes extremely tough, moist silage for agricultural feed analysis, and purées fresh vegetables for residue analysis. A solid standard blend knife made from high-quality, corrosion-resistant stainless steel (1.4034) is included as standard. This razor-sharp tool, with a diameter of 75 mm, effortlessly penetrates thick cell walls at extremely high circumferential speeds of up to 78.5 m/s, cuts through muscle fibres and generates powerful hydrodynamic turbulence, guaranteeing absolutely uniform mixing.
Volume and time savings: the 2-litre advantage in everyday laboratory work
An extremely common problem in analytical work is the lack of representativeness caused by sample sizes that are too small. If only a tiny piece is taken from a large food container, this sample is rarely representative of the entire batch. The IKA MultiDrive BL 2000 T solves this problem thanks to its enormous maximum usable volume of 2,000 millilitres (2 litres). This enormous volume allows you to process large, statistically valid cross-sectional samples in a single, rapid batch process. Another major advantage that makes your work easier is the considerable tolerance for sample feeding: the maximum feed grain size is an impressive 30 millimetres. This means you do not need to spend time pre-cutting your moist samples into tiny fragments with a scalpel beforehand; coarsely crushed chunks can be placed directly into the mixing vessel. This drastically minimises set-up and preparation times in your laboratory and reduces process costs.
Hygiene and thorough deep cleaning
Where raw meat, biological tissue or high-fat suspensions are handled, the risk of dangerous cross-contamination (carry-over) is ever-present. Even minute traces of protein or DNA from the previous sample remaining in the vessel can completely ruin expensive follow-up analyses. Despite the highly complex RFID and sensor technology in the base, IKA has designed the BL 2000 T vessel to ensure absolute, uncompromising hygiene. The entire vessel, along with all its components that come into contact with the sample, can be cleaned conveniently and safely in the laboratory dishwasher. The key design feature for thorough microbiological cleaning: the sharp stainless-steel mixing blade can be completely dismantled in just a few simple steps. This ensures that absolutely no stubborn biofilms, fats or sample residues can accumulate beneath the blades or on the seals (which are made from high-quality PTFE and silicone). The transparent housing of the BL 2000 T is made from durable PCTG plastic, which allows for constant visual monitoring of the grinding process. With compact dimensions of 180 x 280 x 220 mm and a light weight of just 1.25 kg, the vessel can be handled ergonomically and in a way that is easy on the back. By investing in the IKA MultiDrive BL 2000 T mixing vessel, you can use your mill for wet grinding with temperature monitoring.

Individual requirements & accessories
To operate this high-tech vessel and its safety features, you must have the system’s premium core component: the IKA MultiDrive control drive unit (the cheaper ‘basic’ version cannot read the sensor’s RFID signal). If you wish to grind extremely hard or dry materials (such as stones, ceramics or hard cereal grains), we do not recommend this wet grinding vessel. In this case, we recommend the specially developed IKA grinding chambers (MI series) with hard impact blades. The stainless steel mixing blade (BL 2000.1) included can, of course, also be ordered separately as a spare part in the event of heavy wear. Please feel free to contact our expert procurement service at any time for a bespoke configuration of your grinding system.

IKA MultiDrive control: drive unit for grinding, mixing and dispersing The IKA MultiDrive control (MPN 0025002643) is a drive for grinding and mixing tasks. Whether you need to crush hard samples, cut fibrous material or homogenise soft substances, this device can be adapted to the task at hand thanks to its interchangeable vessel system. The “control” version offers an integrated scale, RFID recognition and a TFT display. Versatility thanks to the “MultiDrive” concept The name says it all: one drive (“Drive”) for many applications (“Multi”). The separately available vessels transform the unit depending on the task: Grinding cup (MI 250 / MI 400): For classic dry grinding of hard and brittle materials. Grinding chamber (MT 150): Autoclavable plastic grinding chamber, 150 ml. Mixing vessel (BT 250): Autoclavable plastic mixing vessel, 250 ml. Mixing vessel (BL): For wet grinding. Dispersing vessel (DI): With rotor-stator system for dispersing. Tube Mill cup: Thanks to an adapter, even the tried-and-tested disposable cups of the Tube Mill can be used. Integrated weighing function: Precision without detours The MultiDrive control has an integrated scale. In conventional workflows, samples must be weighed, transferred and then ground separately. This often results in material loss or contamination. With the MultiDrive control, you weigh directly into the fitted grinding cup. The display shows the weight. Thanks to the tare function, you can also prepare complex mixtures directly in the beaker without having to remove the vessel. This saves time, reduces cleaning effort and prevents transfer losses of expensive substances. Smart process control with RFID and TFT In modern laboratories, error prevention is crucial. Thanks to the integrated RFID technology, the base unit automatically recognises which vessel has been fitted. The system then adjusts the parameters accordingly: Speed limit: A dispersion vessel must not rotate as fast as a grinding cup. The device regulates this automatically. Safety functions: Specific settings are enabled. The large, easy-to-read TFT display allows for intuitive navigation. Here, you can not only set the speed and time, but also activate interval operation (ideal for better mixing) or set temperature limits (when used with temperature-sensitive vessels). Temperature measurement and cooling Heat is the enemy of many samples. The MultiDrive control, when used in combination with the appropriate vessels (e.g. MI 250-T-S), offers integrated temperature measurement. The sensor in the cup transmits the actual temperature wirelessly to the display. You can define a safety shut-off: ‘Stop the process when 40 °C is reached’. This helps to limit the degradation of heat-sensitive constituents. For even more demanding tasks, the system supports actively coolable grinding cups (double-walled for water cooling) or the use of dry ice for embrittlement directly in the grinding chamber. Motor: 1,000 watts The brushless motor is maintenance-free. With a power consumption of 1,000 watts and speeds ranging from 3,000 to 20,000 min⁻¹, it can also process hard materials. Despite this power, the unit starts up smoothly thanks to frequency converter technology. Easy cleaning and safety Cleaning is simple, as the unit itself (‘Easy Clean Design’) has virtually no nooks where dirt can accumulate, and the grinding cups (available separately) can usually be completely dismantled and are either dishwasher-safe or autoclavable. In terms of safety, the unit is fitted with an electronic brake that stops the tool when the housing is opened. Operation is only possible when the protective housing is closed. Connectivity and documentation The device can be integrated into the laboratory IT system via the USB and Bluetooth interfaces. With the labworldsoft® software (optional), you can create grinding programs, control the device remotely and document all process data (speed, time, temperature, weight).

To grind wet, moist or pasty samples without residues in the grinding tool being carried over from one batch to the next: this is what the IKA MultiDrive control BT Package is designed for. The package combines the MultiDrive control drive, featuring a TFT display and integrated weighing function, with the autoclavable single-use BT 250 vessel, which is fitted with a four-blade cross-beater and flow breaker. An RFID chip in the base of the vessel automatically records and limits its service life, ensuring that each grinding run is confined to a fresh vessel; this prevents any subsequent reuse beyond the intended service life.BT 250: Disposable vessel for wet samplesThe BT 250.5 mixing vessel is made of autoclavable plastic and is operated exclusively in conjunction with the supplied TC 1 protective housing, which ensures safety during grinding. Five replacement seals are included to ensure that a vessel remains leak-proof over several uses before a new one needs to be ordered. The standardised mounting allows additional vessels from the MultiDrive range to be used, such as grinding chambers for dry material or dispersion vessels with temperature measurement; however, these are not included in the Scope of delivery of this package.Weighing function, TFT display and temperature measurementThe mixing beaker can be weighed directly on the drive; a weighing range of 5 to 4,000 g with a resolution of 1 g covers most laboratory balances without the need to transfer the sample. Temperature measurement from -50 to 120 °C with an accuracy of ±1 K monitors the material being ground during operation. The TFT display clearly shows all values; a WPAN interface and a micro-USB socket connect the unit to a computer for documentation and remote control. With a power consumption of 1,000 watts and a speed range of 3,000 to 20,000 rpm, the drive is designed for coarse to fine grinding; intermittent operation can be activated via a button.Typical applicationsThe BT Package is suitable for laboratories that regularly process different moist sample matrices and must prevent any carry-over between batches.Grinding of moist, wet or pasty samples without cross-contaminationWeighing and grinding in the same vessel, without the need for decantingTemperature-monitored homogenisation of sensitive samplesCoarse to fine grinding with variable speed up to 20,000 rpmTechnical detailsMotor power input / output1,000 W / 800 WSpeed range3,000 to 20,000 rpm, deviation ±5 %DisplayTFT, with RFID read/write unitWeighing range5 to 4,000 g, resolution 1 g, accuracy ±(0.3 % + 2) gTemperature measurement-50 to 120 °C, resolution 0.1 K, accuracy ±1 KDuty cycle ON / OFF5 min / 10 minInterfacesMicro-USB, WPANPermissible ambient conditions5 to 40 °C, max. 80 % relative humidityConnected load220 to 240 V, 50/60 Hz, 1,000 W (100 to 120 V / 100 to 115 V variants available)IP ratingIP 31 (DIN EN 60529)Dimensions W x H x D300 x 350 x 250 mmWeight8.5 kgScope of delivery1 x IKA MultiDrive control drive unit1 x MultiDrive TC 1 protective housing for MT 150 and BT 2501 x MultiDrive BT 250.5 mixing beaker, autoclavable5 x replacement seals for the mixing beakerAt the end of its service life, this electrical appliance must be disposed of via the separate collection scheme for waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) and must not be placed in household waste.Individual requirements and procurement serviceFor dry samples, the IKA MultiDrive control MT Package with the MT 150 grinding vessel is the more suitable choice; technically, the drive is identical.
