Description
Grinding ball 50 mm agate is a precision milling medium produced from natural agate (SiO2) for laboratory sample preparation. With a diameter of 50 mm it delivers good abrasion resistance and is intended for soft to medium-hard materials in vibratory and high-speed mills. The dense, hard mineral composition supports efficient comminution while limiting unwanted sample contamination during grinding. Supplied as a single piece with a net weight of 0,200 kg, the ball integrates readily into standard grinding sets used in research, quality-control and analytical laboratories. Material reference analyses provide further compositional detail for method development. Manufacturer Fritsch also offers a 70 mm agate variant that imparts higher energy input, yet that larger ball is recommended only for fine feed and specialised applications; the 50 mm size remains the balanced choice for routine work. Categories include vibratory mills and rapid mills, making this accessory a practical component for reproducible particle-size reduction workflows.
This article is part of Mills, grinders & homogenisers, in Test sieves & mills.

Questions about grinding ball 50 mm agate
What is this article?
grinding ball 50 mm agate 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).
