what is it
Lab Agate Mortar Grinder
Grinding Capacity: 30 ml (vessel volume), 45 g (based on salt)
Grinding Time: Timer setting 1–900 min
Applications: This lab agate mortar grinder is widely used in mineral processing and analysis, the processing of ultra-hard material micropowders, the preparation of electronic materials, and the chemical and pharmaceutical industries.
Description
The lab agate mortar grinder is a hand tool designed for the fine grinding of laboratory samples and is made of natural agate. It replicates the grinding action of a traditional mortar and pestle, utilizing a motor-driven system that combines the rotation of the mortar itself with the orbital motion of the pestle’s conical surface to automate the grinding process. Capable of reducing coarse materials to micron or even nano-scale fineness without introducing metal contamination, this lab agate mortar grinder equipment serves as a core tool for sample pretreatment and ultrafine powder preparation in laboratories across sectors such as mineral processing, geology, metallurgy, chemical engineering, and materials science. The high hardness and wear resistance of the agate ensure uniform grinding, while its inert nature prevents chemical reactions with the samples. This grinder is particularly well-suited for small-batch processing and applications requiring strict avoidance of contamination.
Advantages
Zero contamination:
Made of pure agate, free from metal contamination, preventing measurement errors.
Long service life:
Agate is wear- and corrosion-resistant, resulting in low overall operating costs.
Wide applicability:
Suitable for processing a variety of samples, including hard, brittle, fibrous, and sticky materials.
Uniform particle size:
Output can reach the micron or even nanometer scale.
Quiet operation:
No motor noise; ideal for quiet laboratory environments.
Easy to clean: Smooth, non-stick surface; easy to disassemble and wash.
Automated operation: Digital settings for time and speed; one-touch start for unattended operation.
Principle
The user places a coarse-particle sample into a natural agate mortar; a low-speed motor drives the pestle to apply pressure and friction, gradually crushing and mixing the sample. The slow rotation of the mortar combined with the high-speed conical motion of the pestle creates a uniform, crushing-style grinding action, resulting in a fine powder with highly uniform particle size; the grinding duration can be set for automated operation.
