Why Not Try The Gyro Mill?

The Gyro MillGlen Creston’s  Gy-Ro Mill has been designed with a unique mechanism enabling the optimum amplitude setting to be set for different materials. Amplitude adjustment ensures the best possible results as it can be set to meet the special characteristics of the feed material and the fineness required. The setting also controls the wear rate and consequent degree of contamination from the grinding dish.

A further advantage of the design of the machine is that it provides a smooth horizontal grinding action with minimal vertical vibration. The puck and rings are larger than the conventional types used in other machines and consequently they avoid bouncing off the lid and base of the dish minimizing excessive wear and unnecessary contamination.

The Gy-Ro Mill is particularly suitable for sample preparation for XRF, XRD and AA analysis. It is excellent for sample processing for geological/mineral assay work and can also be used for the preparation of chemicals, cement, glass, soil, ceramics, ores, dried plant, slag, paint, minerals, pigments, coal, and chalk.

Features:

  • Easy to operate
  • Noise insulation
  • Built-in timer
  • Adjustable amplitude settings
  • Accommodates a complete range of grinding dishes
  • Short grinding time
  • Minimal maintenance
  • Overload relay
  • Cover safety switch
  • Simple clamping device
  • Bolt holes for securing to floor

The construction of the mill is rust free mild steel frame and lid with painted vibrator springs of good quality spring steel, flexible drive shaft encased in protective rubber coating, and eccentric weights. Grinding dishes are of hardened Alloy Steel, Tungsten Carbide, Chrome Steel and Agate.
