WetModule™ Scalable wet grinding, dispersion, and deagglomerationOverview
Choose the process around the material—not the other way around
Most milling systems are designed around a single mechanical concept. A planetary mill remains a planetary mill. A shaker mill remains a shaker mill. An attritor remains an attritor. The user can change speed, media, or cycle time, but the fundamental processing mechanism stays the same.
SpeedMilling™ takes a different approach. The FlackTek™ machine provides the high-energy motion, while Form-Tech Scientific's interchangeable grinding technologies create different processing environments for different tasks. SmartSnap™ jars provide tunable ball-based grinding. RingPrep™ jars use a fixed three-ring architecture for simple, high-energy sample preparation. The WetModule™ provides contained-media wet grinding, dispersion, and deagglomeration with a path to larger-scale processing.
That means a laboratory does not have to commit every application to one milling philosophy. The user can select the technology that best fits the sample state, starting particle size, target particle size, viscosity, recovery needs, desired level of control, or scale-up objective.
Key Features
Three grinding technologies
Choose between the WetModule™, RingPrep™ jars, and SmartSnap™ jars to match the grinding mechanism to the material rather than forcing every application into one approach.
Powered by high-energy FlackTek™ machines
The FlackTek™ dual asymmetric centrifuge technology produces accelerations of up to 800 G, providing substantial energy headroom for demanding grinding and processing applications.
Laboratory through production scale
Support analytical and R&D work through larger process and production applications, with different technologies suited to different scales and process requirements.
Dry and wet processing
Support both dry and wet grinding across powders, solids, liquids, slurries, suspensions, pastes, and mechanochemical systems using the SpeedMilling™ technology best suited to the application.
Accessory-driven expansion
Expand capability through new jars, modules, media, and holders rather than adding another dedicated mill.
More than a mill
Use the same FlackTek™ machine for grinding alongside mixing, dispersion, degassing, and other material-processing workflows, extending the value of the platform well beyond a dedicated mill.
The technology toolbox
Three grinding architectures. One FlackTek™ platform.
WetModule™
Wet grinding, dispersion, and deagglomeration with contained grinding media, broad viscosity capability, simplified recovery, and scalable processing volumes.
Explore WetModule™ →RingPrep™
A fixed three-ring configuration for simple, repeatable, high-energy grinding. Particularly useful for routine powder preparation, tough samples, high-impact processing, and straightforward recovery.
SmartSnap™
Maximum control over ball size, count, media loading, and impact conditions. Well suited to tunable dry grinding, research methods, and workflows familiar to shaker- and mixer-mill users.
Energy advantage
Energy when you need it. Headroom when you do not.
SpeedMilling™ is not built around the assumption that every process should be run at maximum energy. It is built around having substantially more energy available when the material or process requires it.
Many conventional milling approaches operate at accelerations measured in the tens of G. FlackTek™ systems can reach accelerations approaching 800 G. That larger operating envelope can translate into more energetic collisions, faster grinding, and the ability to process materials or viscosities that are difficult for lower-energy systems.
