Retsch® PM 400 Planetary Ball Mill

The Retsch® PM 400 is a robust and high-capacity planetary ball mill designed for heavy-duty grinding, mixing, and homogenization of up to four samples simultaneously. With four grinding stations and powerful drive technology, it is ideal for large sample volumes and high-throughput applications across materials science, chemistry, pharmaceuticals, environmental research, and beyond.

Operating on the principle of planetary motion, the PM 400 generates extremely high centrifugal forces, achieving particle sizes down to the sub-micron range. It supports both dry and wet grinding and offers fully programmable operation for reproducible results.
