Accessories for Col Mixers & Mills

Mill performance is decided by what your sample touches — the jar, the media, the seal, and the head that drives them. Wear debris from the wrong jar material can dope a cathode powder with iron, chrome, or nickel at levels that ruin half-cell data; an unsealed jar lets a moisture-sensitive sulfide solid electrolyte hydrolyze before you ever press a pellet. This collection brings together the consumables and add-on hardware that keep planetary, vibratory, jaw, and mortar mills running cleanly across battery, fuel-cell, and ceramics workflows.

The bulk of the collection is milling jars and crushing plates, available in the standard contamination-control hierarchy:

• Zirconia (ZrO2) — the default for lithium-ion cathode and anode R&D (NCM, LFP, graphite, silicon composites) where Fe / Cr pickup must stay near zero.
• Alumina (Al2O3) — preferred for SOFC / SOEC powders, garnet electrolytes such as LLZO, and other oxide-ceramics work.
• Stainless steel (SUS304 / SUS316) — economical for non-electrochemical milling; avoid for cathode batches because of cross-contamination risk.
• Agate — low-contamination natural quartz, suitable for soft inorganic and mineralogical samples.
• Vacuum / hermetically sealed jars — for air- and moisture-sensitive systems (sulfide and halide solid electrolytes, lithium-metal precursors) so you can mill outside a glovebox.

Capacities run from 125 mL vacuum jars on nano vibratory mills, through 500 mL and 2 L jars for planetary and automatic mortar mills, up to 3 L jars for high-energy planetary platforms. Match the jar material and volume to your mill family before ordering.

Beyond the jars, this section also carries jaw-crusher jaw and liner plates in the same material families, plus consumables that travel with adjacent equipment lines — slot-die heads, doctor-blade film applicators, and roll-to-roll handling units for coaters and rolling presses, and pouch-cell racks, quick-press fixtures, coin-cell clamps, and ultrasonic welding heads for cell assembly and testing.

If you are sourcing replacement jars or plates, start with the matching mill family in Mixers & Mills. For coater and press add-ons, see Coaters and Rolling Presses; for cell-assembly accessories, browse Battery Equipment.
