High-speed Universal Disintegrator
High-speed mechanical disintegrator for solid sample size reduction, available in four models processing 50-400g samples with grinding speeds up to 26,000 rpm.
| Automation Level | semi-automated |
The High-speed Universal Disintegrator provides efficient size reduction of solid materials through high-speed mechanical grinding. Available in four models (BIO-HSD-80, BIO-HSD-100, BIO-HSD-200, BIO-HSD-400A), this equipment processes samples from 50g to 400g capacity with grinding speeds up to 26,000 rpm. The system achieves particle size reduction to 40-200 mesh fineness across grinding chamber diameters ranging from 80mm to 150mm.
This disintegrator employs high-speed rotor mechanisms within enclosed grinding chambers to achieve rapid sample processing. Power consumption ranges from 200W to 1000W depending on model capacity, with all units operating on standard AC220V power supply. The compact design and variable processing capacities make this equipment suitable for laboratories requiring consistent particle size reduction across diverse sample types.
How It Works
The High-speed Universal Disintegrator operates through high-velocity impact and shear forces generated by a rotating blade system within an enclosed grinding chamber. The sample material is subjected to repeated collisions with high-speed rotating elements, creating fracture propagation along grain boundaries and crystal planes. The grinding mechanism combines impact forces from the rotating assembly with shear forces generated by the material's interaction with the chamber walls.
Particle size reduction occurs through a combination of compression, impact, and attrition forces. The high rotational speeds (up to 26,000 rpm) create sufficient kinetic energy to overcome the cohesive forces within solid materials, progressively reducing particle size until the desired mesh fineness is achieved. The enclosed chamber design prevents sample loss while allowing for controlled atmosphere processing when required.

Practical Tips
Verify particle size output using standard test sieves periodically to ensure consistent grinding performance.
Why: Blade wear and chamber condition changes over time can affect particle size distribution
Clean grinding chamber thoroughly between different sample types to prevent cross-contamination.
Why: Residual material from previous samples can affect analytical results and introduce bias
Pre-dry samples when possible to improve grinding efficiency and achieve more uniform particle size.
Why: Moisture content can cause material clumping and reduce grinding effectiveness
If grinding efficiency decreases, inspect rotor blades for wear and replace when edges become rounded.
Why: Sharp blade edges are essential for effective particle size reduction through shear forces
Process replicate samples to assess grinding reproducibility and establish processing time protocols.
Why: Consistent processing parameters ensure reproducible particle size distribution for analytical accuracy
Allow rotor to reach complete stop before opening chamber and always wear appropriate respiratory protection.
Why: Moving parts present injury risk and fine particle generation requires dust exposure control
Load samples in center of grinding chamber to ensure even distribution of grinding forces.
Why: Proper sample positioning maximizes grinding efficiency and prevents uneven particle size distribution

Compliance
What particle size consistency can be achieved across different sample types?
All models achieve 40-200 mesh fineness, with actual particle size distribution depending on sample hardness, processing time, and material properties. Brittle materials typically achieve more uniform size reduction than fibrous samples.
How do I select the appropriate model for my sample volumes?
Choose based on maximum batch size: BIO-HSD-80 for ≤50g samples, BIO-HSD-100 for ≤100g, BIO-HSD-200 for ≤200g, or BIO-HSD-400A for ≤400g. Consider daily throughput requirements when selecting capacity.
What maintenance is required for consistent performance?
Regular cleaning of grinding chamber and rotor assembly after each use, periodic inspection of blade wear, and lubrication of bearing assemblies according to manufacturer schedule. Replace worn components promptly to maintain grinding efficiency.
Can the equipment process heat-sensitive materials?
Processing generates frictional heat during high-speed operation. For heat-sensitive samples, use shorter grinding intervals with cooling periods, or consider dry ice addition for cryogenic grinding applications.
What sample types are not suitable for this disintegrator?
Avoid processing wet, sticky, or oil-rich materials that may clog the grinding chamber. Extremely hard materials like metals or ceramics may cause excessive blade wear and require specialized grinding media.
How does processing time affect particle size distribution?
Longer processing times generally achieve finer particle sizes but may lead to over-grinding and heat generation. Optimize processing duration through trial runs to achieve desired mesh size without sample degradation.
What safety considerations apply during operation?
Ensure proper chamber closure before operation, use appropriate personal protective equipment for dust exposure, and allow rotor to completely stop before opening chamber. Never exceed recommended sample load capacity.
