Advanced Working Principle
The system's revolutionary planetary motion mechanism creates a unique grinding pattern where each milling jar:
Rotates around its own axis at high speed
Simultaneously revolves around the central axis
Maintains constant 360° movement for uniform energy distribution
This sophisticated motion pattern generates optimal impact forces while preventing material agglomeration, ensuring consistently fine and homogeneous results.
