Description

HPBM-16 HEAVY-DUTY HORIZONTAL PLANETARY BALL MILL 3KW

LABORATORY GRADE EQUIPMENT

Product Introduction

The heavy-duty horizontal planetary ball mill adopts a dual-disk support bracket structure at both ends, which effectively improves equipment stability and load-bearing capacity, overcoming the limitation that light-duty horizontal planetary ball mills are only suitable for light-load applications. This machine is mainly intended for pilot-scale tests or small-batch grinding production. The listed price is for the main machine only; grinding jars and grinding balls must be ordered separately.

Operating Principle of Planetary Ball Mill

The main disk of the planetary ball mill is equipped with four grinding jars. As the motor drives the main disk to rotate, the jars revolve around the main disk shaft while rotating on their own under the drive of the planetary mechanism, forming a planetary motion. The grinding balls inside the jars rub and collide with each other during high-speed planetary movement, enabling efficient grinding and sample mixing.

Product Application

Heavy-duty horizontal planetary ball mills are widely used in geology, mineral resources, metallurgy, electronics, building materials, ceramics, chemical industry, light industry, medicine, environmental protection and other fields. They are suitable for the production of electronic ceramics, structural ceramics, magnetic materials, lithium cobalt oxide, lithium manganate, catalysts, fluorescent powders, long afterglow luminescent powders, rare earth polishing powders, electronic glass powders, fuel cells, zinc oxide varistors, piezoelectric ceramics, nanomaterials, wafer ceramic capacitors, MLCC, thermistors (PTC, NTC), dielectric ceramics, alumina ceramics, zirconia ceramics, zinc oxide powder, cobalt oxide powder, Ni-Zn ferrites, Mn-Zn ferrites and other materials.

Product Features

The equipment features a professional industrial exterior design. The casing is welded with thickened steel plates, delivering high strength, impact resistance, deformation resistance and a robust appearance. Machined parts undergo strict heat treatment and CNC processing. Transmission gears are precision-made from special materials, ensuring stable, safe and low-noise operation at high speeds. The machine is equipped with a brake locking function to guarantee safe operation during jar lifting, loading and locking. The integrated lifting and discharging device incorporates vibrating screen discharging technology, enabling quick jar handling, unloading and charging to improve production efficiency. A microcomputer touch screen is adopted for easy and intuitive operation. It supports forward and reverse alternating control, timing function and power-off memory.

Selection Guide

  • Capacity Requirements: Select cylinder volume based on output: 50L–500L for small-scale production, and above 1000L (e.g., 5000L-class equipment) for large industrial lines.
  • Material Characteristics: High-hardness materials require highly wear-resistant linings (e.g., manganese steel or zirconia) and large-sized grinding media. Wet grinding needs corrosion-resistant cylinders and sealed structures.
  • Energy Consumption & Maintenance: Prioritize models with rolling bearings and variable frequency speed control to reduce energy consumption and improve control accuracy. Regularly inspect lining wear and lubrication systems for long-term stable operation.
  • Special Requirements: For ultra-fine powders (≤1μm), a forced stirring system or counter-rotating device is recommended to enhance grinding efficiency. For industries with high cleanliness requirements (pharmaceuticals, food, etc.), full stainless steel structure and pollution-free linings are required.

This machine operates with 3KW electrical power and generates high rotational forces, posing electrical and mechanical hazards. It must be used in a well-ventilated area with a stable, non-flammable surface and proper grounding.

  • Jar Locking Safety: Ensure grinding jars are securely locked before operation to prevent ejection.
  • Speed Limit Compliance: Do not exceed maximum rotation speed specified for the jar and ball combination.
  • Component Compatibility: Use only compatible grinding jars and balls rated for the mill's speed and load.
  • Electrical Safety: Disconnect power before cleaning or maintenance to eliminate electrical shock risk.
  • Noise Exposure: The mill generates significant noise; hearing protection is recommended during prolonged operation.

Follow these steps to initialize grinding operations while mitigating mechanical and electrical risks. Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment and verify machine stability before starting.

Required Equipment: Grinding jars and balls (ordered separately), Jar securing mechanism, Main power switch

  1. Pre-operation Inspection
    Inspect the machine for any visible damage, loose components, or debris before connecting power.
  2. Jar Installation
    Secure the grinding jars onto the jar holders by tightening the locking mechanism to the specified torque.
  3. Parameter Configuration
    Set the desired rotation speed and grinding duration using the control panel, ensuring it does not exceed jar ratings.
  4. Start and Monitor
    Press the start button and monitor vibration and noise levels for the first minute to confirm stable operation.
  5. Shutdown
    Allow the machine to complete the grinding cycle, then press stop and wait for complete rotation cessation before opening.

How does the lower jar rotation speed of the HPBM-16 affect its grinding performance for hard materials compared to higher-speed models?

The HPBM-16’s maximum jar rotation speed is 480 rpm with a drive ratio of 0.096, which reduces impact frequency compared to models reaching 670 rpm. However, the 3 kW motor and dual-disk support bracket structure enable heavy-load operation, making it suitable for pilot-scale grinding of hard materials where throughput and stability outweigh maximum particle size reduction rate.

What grinding jar dimensions and materials are compatible with the HPBM-16, given that jars are sold separately?

The HPBM-16 jar holder inner diameter is 182 mm, so compatible jars must have an outer diameter that fits this holder and a capacity appropriate for the revolution diameter of Φ385 mm. Jars must be ordered separately; standard materials such as stainless steel, zirconia, agate, or tungsten carbide can be used as long as they physically fit the holder and withstand the 480 rpm maximum jar speed.

What electrical supply and floor-loading infrastructure are required to safely install the HPBM-16?

The HPBM-16 requires a 3 kW electrical supply (single- or three-phase, depending on regional configuration) and a floor area of at least 1640 mm × 840 mm with overhead clearance for its 1040 mm height. Its net weight of 470 kg demands a reinforced floor capable of supporting concentrated point loads, and the mill must be placed on a level, vibration-dampened surface to maintain operational stability.

The HPBM-16 heavy-duty horizontal planetary ball mill employs a dual-disk support structure for enhanced stability and load-bearing, making it well-suited for pilot-scale testing and small-batch grinding. Practical deployment requires accounting for its 470 kg weight, 1640×840×1040 mm footprint, and the separate procurement of grinding jars and balls.

Positive

  • Dual-Disk Support for Enhanced Stability: The dual-disk support bracket structure at both ends improves equipment stability and load-bearing capacity, overcoming the limitation that light-duty horizontal planetary ball mills are only suitable for light-load applications.
  • Optimized for Pilot-Scale Grinding: Engineered for pilot-scale tests and small-batch grinding production, it enables efficient high-energy milling via planetary motion of up to four grinding jars simultaneously.

Trade-offs

  • Consumables Not Included: Grinding jars and balls must be ordered separately, adding procurement lead time and upfront cost beyond the main machine.
  • Significant Floor Space and Weight: With a net weight of 470 kg and dimensions of 1640×840×1040 mm, this unit requires dedicated floor space and may need structural reinforcement for safe installation.
