Useful information

The device can be used in a wide range of applications in conjunction with different vessels� 

/// 

Milling

In conjunction with milling vessel, the device can be used as a batch mill�
The list of grinding materials given below is not complete� It is possible to expand the range of 
applications further by means of grinding experiments with corresponding grinding procedures 
and sample preparations, e�g� with cooling�

Impact milling:

The milling vessel with a beater reduces soft, medium hard and brittle materials�
Everything that breaks, is dry, and does not have a high fat content can be ground� 

Following is a list of substances that can be ground dry:
Wheat, barley, corn, malt, pectin, roasted coffee, nutshells, bones, ergot, peat, pharmaceutical, 
feed materials, spices, resin, potash, seeds, salts, cinders, tablets�
Tough grinding material must be cooled, for example by adding pulverized dry ice to the grinding pot�
Also note the operating instructions for the 

IKA MultiDrive MI 250

 and

milling vessel�

Cutting milling:

The milling vessel with the cutting blade reduces bulky, elastic fibrous and soft materials with 
high cellulose content�
Mixed goods such as trash must be free of iron and non-iron metals� The feed material must not 
be too moist or fatty�
Otherwise the material may adhere to the sides of the grinding container�

Following is a list of some materials that can be reduced:
Leaves, fibers, hops, cardboard, paper, hay, plastics, tobacco and roots�
Also note the operating instructions for the 

IKA MultiDrive MI 250

 and

milling vessel�

Note: 

Materials that are not listed in these operating instructions may only be handled with the 

grinding vessel after confirmed with IKA, especially if there is a risk of explosion (dust explosion 
due to electrostatic charge)�

Working with cooling water:

/// Blending

In combination with the IKA 

MultiDrive BL 2000

 blending vessel, the device can be used as 

a blender�
The blender can be used for many applications� The following list is not complete and can be 
extended by experiments�

List of substances to be blended:
Ice cream, milk, sauces, vegetables, meat, nut butter, spices�

!

 Notice!

The device is designed for short term operation� The maximum operating time is 5 minutes� 
After that, it should be switched off for 10 minutes to cool down�
As long as the set speed is not reached, the speed value flashes�
