The XPM120*1 Single-head Agate Grinding Mill is a precision instrument. Proper operation and regular maintenance can extend its service life and ensure optimal grinding performance. Below are the key points for usage and maintenance:
Usage Steps:
Sample Preparation:
Crush samples into appropriately sized pieces before grinding.
Avoid placing overly large or hard chunks directly into the mortar to prevent damage to the agate pestle.
Speed Adjustment:
Select a suitable rotation speed based on sample properties.
For harder samples, start at a low speed and gradually increase it.
Even Grinding:
Place the sample in the mortar, then gently press and rotate the pestle to ensure uniform force distribution.
Avoid localized excessive wear to maintain grinding consistency.
Cleaning After Use:
Clean the mortar and pestle immediately with water or alcohol after use.
Prevent residue from hardening and affecting future performance.
Maintenance Guidelines:
Avoid Impact:
Although agate is hard, it is brittle. Protect the equipment from drops or severe collisions.
Regular Inspection:
Periodically check the mortar and pestle surface for wear or cracks.
Replace components if necessary to maintain grinding accuracy.
Dry Storage:
After cleaning, store the equipment in a dry environment.
Avoid humidity to prevent mold growth or material degradation.
By following these guidelines, users can ensure the longevity and efficiency of the XPM120*1 Single-head Agate Grinding Mill while achieving consistent and reliable grinding results.
