Factors for choosing milling media for planetary and roller ball mills. 

• There are several factors for choosing milling media for planetary ball mills. For instance, the media of choice needs to be a harder material than the sample being processed. 
• Initial and final particle size of the sample is a major consideration. Small media does not efficiently break up large sample particles but small media is needed to reduce the sample to a finer powder

MSE Supplies agate milling media and agate planetary ball mill jars that are very wear-resistant, chemically resistant, and non-contaminating if used correctly.

A pellet press die is used to create pellets from a powder material. The die (mold) holds the uncompressed powder in a shaped chamber. 

There are several factors for choosing between planetary ball mills and roller jar mills.

Scientists at the Max-Planck-Institut für Kohlenforschung in Mülheim an der Ruhr have created a method to economically produce corundum ceramic nanoparticles centered around Ball Mill.
