Product Description
The Wig-L-Bug is an invaluable accessory for the spectroscopy laboratory. It is ideal for mixing and pulverizing samples for use in a KBr matrix that will be pressed into a pellet and for mulling techniques. Sample preparation is reproducible from sample to sample by replicating the cycle time, which is controlled by a 60 second timer. Most samples can be prepared in 10 seconds. Agate, metal and plastic sample vials are available. 115 volts only.

Efficient and Accurate Sample GrindingThe Wig-L-Bug Grinding Mill delivers rapid and reliable pulverization for laboratory applications. Its oscillatory grinding mechanism ensures consistent sample preparation, saving valuable laboratory time. With a capacity of up to 10 grams per run and a precise 3600 oscillations per minute, it is ideal for handling hard and brittle materials that require uniform grinding.
Safety and User Comfort PrioritizedThis laboratory grinding mill is designed with a built-in interlocking cup lid, providing an extra layer of safety during operation. Its low noise level, measured below 70 dB, supports a comfortable working environment. With clear operational instructions and included accessories, setup and usage are straightforward for laboratory personnel.
FAQs of Wig-L-Bug Grinding Mill:
Q: How does the Wig-L-Bug Grinding Mill operate?
A: The mill uses oscillatory mechanical grinding, powered by a 1/30 HP electric motor, to rapidly pulverize hard and brittle samples. Its manual switch enables straightforward operation, while the interlocking lid ensures safe handling.
Q: What materials can be processed with this grinding mill?
A: It is designed to handle hard and brittle laboratory materials. The machine is not suitable for samples requiring heating or materials larger than 10 grams per run.
Q: When is the Wig-L-Bug Grinding Mill typically used in laboratories?
A: This mill is used during sample preparation phases that require rapid, uniform pulverization. It is particularly valuable when accurate and reproducible particle size reduction is essential for analytical procedures.
Q: Where can the Wig-L-Bug Grinding Mill be implemented?
A: The device is well-suited for laboratory settings in research institutes, manufacturing, export/import businesses, and quality control environments across India.
Q: What is the grinding process like with this equipment?
A: Simply load the grinding cup with up to 10 grams of sample, secure the interlocking lid, and start the process. The oscillatory action quickly reduces samples to fine powder within 60 seconds.
Q: How does the safety feature benefit users?
A: The interlocking cup lid ensures the grinding process cannot begin unless the lid is properly secured, minimizing the risk of sample spillage or accidental contact with moving parts.
