Description
Grinding ball 30 mm silicon nitride is high-performance milling media made from silicon nitride (Si3N4) for laboratory ball-mill applications. The 30 mm ball combines extreme abrasion resistance with suitability for abrasive samples and iron-free grinding, helping limit metallic contamination during sample preparation. Net weight is 0,0500 kg per piece. Recommended charge is eight Ø 30 mm balls in a 500 ml grinding bowl (useful grinding material volume 80–225 ml) and six balls in a 250 ml bowl (30–125 ml useful volume). Offered as one piece from manufacturer Fritsch, this media supports demanding comminution tasks in research, quality control, and materials laboratories where silicon nitride is preferred for hardness and low wear. Further material composition data are covered in the manufacturer’s reference analyses. Choose this grinding ball when iron-free processing and outstanding abrasion resistance are required for abrasive sample matrices in laboratory milling systems.

Questions about grinding ball 30 mm silicon nitride
What is this article?
grinding ball 30 mm silicon nitride is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Fritsch for laboratory use. It sits in Mills, grinders & homogenisers, inside Test sieves & mills, in Lab instruments.
A mill, grinder or homogeniser reduces particle size or breaks a tissue before an extraction. The rotor and the sieve insert decide the result. A knife mill and a bead mill are different machines. The sample has to tolerate the heat the motor puts into it.
A test sieve sorts particles by whether they pass an opening. Wire mesh and perforated plate are two ways of making that opening, and the nominal size is not a suggestion. A sieve shaker repeats the motion so the result does not depend on how hard someone shook by hand. A mill or grinder makes the particles smaller before they are sieved. The certificate of the sieve, and the opening size, are what an audit asks for. Measurement practice around mass and dimension sits with the BIPM, EURAMET and BELAC.
Which category should I open next?
The category is Test sieves & mills. The sub-category is Mills, grinders & homogenisers. The catalogue is Lab instruments.
Shelves beside this one are Test sieves (wire mesh), Test sieves (perforated plate), Sieve shakers and Sieve accessories (lids, pans, rings).
What should I check before I order?
When this page shows a safety data sheet, use that manufacturer file. Hazard text does not belong in the sales description. For a pack size, a grade or a certificate that is not on the page, send a quote request or contact the team.
