Description

PBM-6C LIQUID NITROGEN PLANETARY BALL MILL 6L VERTICAL

LABORATORY GRADE EQUIPMENT

Product Introduction
Planetary ball mill is a high-efficiency and precise laboratory-grade powder preparation equipment, mainly used for material crushing, mixing, dispersion and nanomaterial preparation. Its core structure consists of a planetary disk, ball milling jars (semi-circular or circular), grinding balls, drive system and safety devices. Through the composite motion of revolution and rotation of planetary wheels, combined with high-energy impact and friction, the equipment achieves efficient grinding of materials. The semi-circular ball milling jar design further optimizes space utilization and grinding efficiency, suitable for small-batch and high-precision experimental requirements. 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 ball milling jars. When the motor drives the main disk to rotate, the ball milling jars revolve around the main disk shaft and rotate simultaneously driven by the planetary mechanism of the main disk, performing planetary motion. The grinding balls inside the jars rub and collide with each other during high-speed planetary motion, enabling efficient grinding and sample mixing.
Vertical semi-circular planetary ball mill is a device for mixing, fine grinding, small-sample preparation, new product development and small-batch production of high-tech materials. Our planetary ball mill features compact size, complete functions, high efficiency and low noise. It is an ideal powder equipment for research institutes, universities and enterprise laboratories to obtain research samples (four samples can be obtained simultaneously in each experiment). Equipped with vacuum ball milling jars, it can grind samples in a vacuum state.

Application Scope
Vertical semi-circular planetary ball mills are widely used in geology, mineral resources, metallurgy, electronics, building materials, ceramics, chemical industry, light industry, medicine, environmental protection and other sectors. They are applicable to 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 products.

Working Principle
  • Planetary Motion Mechanism: The turntable drives the ball milling jars to revolve around the main shaft, while the jars rotate at high speed, forming a composite centrifugal force field.
  • Grinding Effect: Grinding balls inside the jar collide with materials at high speed under centrifugal force, generating shearing, impact and friction forces to achieve crushing and mixing.
  • Parameter Control: Precisely control finished product particle size by adjusting rotation speed (e.g. 200-800 rpm), grinding time and ball-to-material ratio.

Selection Guide
  • Sample Properties: Wear-resistant jars (e.g., tungsten carbide) are required for hard materials; low-temperature grinding mode is optional for brittle or heat-sensitive materials.
  • Processing Capacity: Choose single-jar or four-jar configuration according to experimental needs, with loading capacity not exceeding 2/3 of the jar volume.
  • Grinding Objective: Nanoscale grinding requires high rotation speed (≥500 rpm) and small-sized grinding balls (e.g., zirconia balls).
  • Equipment Parameters: Focus on motor power (e.g., 0.75-2.2 kW), maximum centrifugal acceleration and timing function.
  • Safety & Maintenance: Prioritize models with automatic shutdown, fault alarm and easy disassembly design to reduce maintenance costs.

This device requires cryogenic coolant (liquid nitrogen) for operation between -40°C and 20°C. Vacuum-compatible ball milling jars must be used when processing reactive or oxygen-sensitive materials.

  • Temperature Range: Operate the mill only within the specified cryogenic temperature range of -40°C to 20°C to avoid mechanical failure.
  • Atmosphere Control: Use vacuum or inert gas atmosphere inside jars to prevent oxidation and contamination of samples.
  • Safety Interlocks: Ensure all safety switches and overload protection mechanisms are functional before starting the mill.
  • Liquid Nitrogen Handling: Handle liquid nitrogen with proper cryogenic gloves and in well-ventilated areas to prevent frostbite and asphyxiation.
  • Jar Integrity: Inspect ball milling jars for cracks or damage before each use to avoid rupture under vacuum or pressure.

Prepare the mill by securing the vacuum jar with sample and grinding balls, then connect the liquid nitrogen supply. Set the desired temperature and rotation parameters before initiating the grinding cycle.

Required Equipment: Cryogenic gloves, Liquid nitrogen dewar, Vacuum ball milling jar assembly, Personal protective equipment (PPE)

  1. Pre-use inspection
    Inspect the mill and vacuum jar for any visible damage or wear before operation.
  2. Load sample
    Load the sample and appropriate grinding balls into the vacuum jar and seal it tightly.
  3. Connect supplies
    Connect the vacuum jar to the mill's vacuum port and the liquid nitrogen supply to the cooling jacket.
  4. Set parameters
    Set the target temperature, rotation speed, and cycle time on the control panel.
  5. Start operation
    Start the mill and monitor the temperature display and vibration levels during operation.
  6. Post-cycle cooldown
    Allow the jar to warm to room temperature before removing it after the cycle completes.
  7. Shutdown
    Deactivate the liquid nitrogen supply and safely dispose of any liquid nitrogen residuals.

How does the XQM-6C's cryogenic grinding capability affect the achievable particle size compared to standard ambient operation?

The XQM-6C can achieve particle sizes down to 0.1 micron under both cryogenic and ambient conditions due to its high-energy planetary motion. Cryogenic operation embrittles materials for easier fracturing while preventing thermal degradation, making it ideal for heat-sensitive samples without sacrificing the mill's specified uniformity.

What jar materials are compatible with the XQM-6C for cryogenic and vacuum grinding applications?

The XQM-6C is compatible with ball milling jars made of stainless steel, ceramics, and polyurethane as stated in the product features. For combined cryogenic and vacuum operation, stainless steel jars are recommended for their thermal stability and vacuum integrity.

What safety mechanisms does the XQM-6C incorporate to protect against operational hazards during cryogenic grinding?

The XQM-6C includes safety switches, motor overload protection, emergency stop function, and noise-reducing design as standard safety features. These protections operate independently of the cryogenic system, ensuring safe operation across the full temperature range from -40°C to 20°C.

The Atomfair XQM-6C is a vertical semi-circular planetary ball mill optimized for laboratory-scale, high-energy grinding. Its planetary motion delivers uniform particle size down to 0.1 micron, and the compatibility with vacuum jars and multiple jar materials makes it versatile for sample preparation in materials science and pharmaceutical research.
