Overview

The Vector VTR-1012XL Hercules vibratory disc mill XL combines industrial-grade, high-torque grinding with user-friendly operation — fast, reliable comminution of minerals and brittle materials in geology, metallurgy, cement, and power-plant laboratories.

A high-torque motor handles heavy workloads without overheating, while an integrated pneumatic cell-loading arm enables safe, effortless placement and removal of 1,000 ml and 2,000 ml grinding cells. Each batch delivers consistent particle-size reduction to about 20–90 µm — the fineness range many XRF, fusion, and bulk QC routes expect from a single vibratory cycle.

Hercules XL suits mine-site labs, stockpile verification, and central plant QC where large representative splits must be pulverized per cycle without dividing one lot across many small runs. Vector configures cell size, grinding media, and pneumatic handling for your SOP and safety requirements.

Industries & applications

From exploration geology and metallurgy to cement and power-plant QC, Hercules XL supports high-throughput prep where batch mass and fineness consistency matter for certification.

Cement & construction materials

Clinker, limestone, and process intermediates ground to 20–90 µm in one XL cycle ahead of Blaine, XRF, or chemical QC routes.

Mining & minerals

Drill core, ROM ore, and concentrate splits when a single large batch must stay representative for XRF, ICP, or fire-assay prep.

Metallurgy & power generation

Slag, sinters, and process streams in metallurgical and power-plant labs where high-torque grinding keeps cycle time predictable.

Mine-site & central labs

Stockpile verification and central plant QC where XL batch mass avoids splitting one geological or process lot across many small runs.

Cell and media selection

Vector application support matches 1,000 or 2,000 ml cells, grinding media, and cycle parameters to your target fineness and daily throughput.

Need a specific cell size or fineness target?

Vector application support helps match grinding time, media, and pneumatic handling to your SOP and downstream XRF, fusion, or bulk QC methods.

Key features

Engineered for high-torque vibratory milling, pneumatic cell handling, and reliable operation in industrial and mine-site prep laboratories.

XL

Enlarged capacity

Extended chamber and matched drive process larger representative splits per cycle than standard Hercules — improving lot traceability.

20–90 µm

Batch fineness

Typical output in the 20–90 µm window supports XRF, fusion, and bulk QC without over-grinding every matrix.

Torque

High-torque motor

Industrial-grade drive handles heavy mineral workloads without overheating during extended shift campaigns.

Pneumatic

Cell-loading arm

Pneumatic arm places and removes 1,000 ml and 2,000 ml cells safely — less manual lifting and alignment risk.

Cells

1,000 / 2,000 ml

Two standard cell volumes cover most high-mass QC and exploration workflows without custom one-off tooling.

CE

Safety & conformity

CE-marked machinery with industrial enclosure, controlled cell access, and wear parts field-replaceable for predictable downtime.

Vector VTR-1012XL Hercules XL — Hercules XL vibratory disc mill with pneumatic cell arm and controls

Pneumatic handling & heavy grinding

Hercules XL excels when operators need industrial throughput without compromising safety or fineness repeatability. The pneumatic arm reduces manual handling of heavy grinding cells while the high-torque drive keeps cycle time competitive on hard, brittle feeds.

  • Enlarged capacity — constant-rate delivery from the hopper stabilises particle size across long campaigns.

  • Pneumatic arm — positions 1,000 ml and 2,000 ml cells consistently for safe load and unload.

  • 20–90 µm band — fineness window suited to many XRF, fusion, and bulk certification routes.
