Description

PBM-1 COMPACT LOW TEMP PLANETARY BALL MILL 5–15°C 0.75KW

LABORATORY GRADE EQUIPMENT

Product Introduction
Low temperature planetary ball mill is a combined equipment of planetary ball mill and refrigeration device. During high-speed grinding, most materials will heat up due to friction or exothermic reactions, which may alter the physical and chemical properties of materials and produce negative grinding effects. Low temperature planetary ball mill is mainly used for material grinding processes requiring strict temperature control. The listed price is for the main machine only; grinding jars and grinding balls must be ordered separately.

Operating Principle of Planetary Ball Mill
Four grinding jars are installed on the main disc of the planetary ball mill. When the motor drives the main disc to rotate, the grinding jars revolve around the main disc axis and rotate simultaneously driven by the planetary mechanism, performing planetary motion. The grinding balls inside the jars rub and collide with each other under high-speed planetary motion, enabling efficient sample grinding and mixing.

Product Application
Low temperature planetary ball mill is widely used in geology, mineral resources, metallurgy, electronics, building materials, ceramics, chemical industry, light industry, medicine, environmental protection and other fields. It is 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), zinc oxide varistors, dielectric ceramics, alumina ceramics, zirconia ceramics, fluorescent powders, zinc oxide powder, cobalt oxide powder, Ni-Zn ferrites, Mn-Zn ferrites and other products.

Product Features
Low temperature planetary ball mill is a combined equipment of planetary ball mill and air cooling device. The air cooling unit adopts the air-conditioning compression refrigeration principle, and the cold air circulation quickly removes heat generated during grinding. According to ambient temperature differences, the temperature of the grinding chamber can be controlled at 5–15℃. It is mainly used for ultra-fine grinding of materials under low-temperature processes. The air cooling device features simple structure, convenient operation, easy maintenance and low energy consumption.

The XQM-1 planetary ball mill requires strict temperature control to avoid altering material properties. The integrated air cooling system must be activated and maintained within the 5–15°C range during all grinding operations.

  • Temperature Control Constraint: Maintain the grinding chamber temperature between 5°C and 15°C using the integral air cooling unit.

Initialize and operate the low-temperature planetary ball mill for safe grinding of heat-sensitive and oxidizable materials. Follow these steps to ensure proper temperature control and mechanical safety.

Required Equipment: Atomfair XQM-1 Low-Temperature Planetary Ball Mill

  1. Install Grinding Jars
    Install the grinding jars containing materials and balls securely onto the main disc of the planetary ball mill.
  2. Set Operational Parameters
    Set the desired rotation speed and grinding time using the control panel.
  3. Activate Cooling System
    Activate the air cooling unit to circulate cold air and maintain the chamber temperature between 5°C and 15°C.
  4. Start Grinding Process
    Start the mill and monitor the grinding process for temperature stability and mechanical operation.

What is the lowest controlled grinding temperature achievable with the air cooling system?

The low temperature planetary ball mill can control the grinding chamber temperature in the range of 5–15°C. This is achieved by an air cooling unit operating on the air-conditioning compression refrigeration principle, which circulates cold air to remove heat generated during high-speed grinding.

Can the low temperature planetary ball mill be used inside a glove box for processing oxidizable materials?

Yes, a specific model—the XQM-0.2S Mini Glove Box Type—is designed with a separate control box for integration into a glove box environment. This allows safe grinding of air-sensitive and oxidizable materials while maintaining temperature control.

What maximum feed particle sizes are recommended to avoid damage or clogging during low-temperature grinding?

For soil materials, the maximum feed particle size is ≤10 mm; for all other materials, the limit is ≤3 mm. Exceeding these sizes may cause excessive mechanical stress on the grinding jars and reduce the cooling efficiency of the system.

The Atomfair XQM-1 Compact Laboratory Low-Temperature Planetary Ball Mill integrates an air-cooling refrigeration system capable of maintaining grinding chamber temperatures between 5–15°C, making it suited for ultrafine grinding of heat-sensitive and oxidizable materials down to 0.1 μm. Its gear-drive planetary mechanism supports simultaneous operation of up to four grinding jars, but ambient temperature dependency and a two-thirds volume loading limit are key operational constraints.

Positive

  • Controlled low-temperature grinding: Integrated air-cooling unit based on compression refrigeration holds grinding chamber at 5–15°C, preventing thermally induced degradation of heat-sensitive or oxidizable materials during high-energy milling.
  • Versatile ultrafine particle capability: Achieves discharge particle sizes down to 0.1 μm, supporting a broad range of applications from electronic ceramics and battery materials to catalysts and rare-earth powders.

Trade-offs

  • Temperature dependent on ambient conditions: The attainable grinding chamber temperature (5–15°C) varies with ambient temperature differences; maintaining the lower bound may be challenging in hot laboratory environments without additional precooling.
  • Limited loading capacity per jar: Maximum combined volume of material and grinding balls is restricted to two-thirds of the jar capacity, reducing effective throughput and requiring careful batch planning.
