PBM-40 LARGE VOLUME PLANETARY BALL MILL 5.5KW SOIL GRINDER 40L

LABORATORY GRADE EQUIPMENT

Product Overview

The ATOMFAIR PBM-40 is a Large Volume Planetary Ball Mill designed for heavy metal analysis in soil, featuring PBM-40 5.5KW 40L 4-jar soil grinder with a 250 mm jar holder inner diameter and Φ430 mm revolution diameter. The sealing pressure of the grinding jars is adjustable via a graduated scale. The grinding jars rotate reversely around their own axes while revolving around the turntable axis, causing samples inside to collide and rub against each other at high speed to achieve sample crushing, grinding, mixing, and dispersion. Purpose-built for soil heavy metal analysis ultrafine grinding, this machine delivers output particle sizes as fine as 0.1 μm from soil feed ≤10 mm. The system supports 48-hour continuous operation electric screener at full load, with an electric screener capable of holding seven layers of 200 mm diameter sieves across a 20–200 mesh (20 micron) screening range with digital display and 1400 rpm vibration frequency. Dry grinding, wet grinding, and vacuum grinding modes are all supported. Two or four grinding jars can operate simultaneously. Grinding jars and grinding balls are ordered separately. The PBM series spans from 0.2 L mini models to 200 L production units.

The PBM-40 requires a stable, level floor capable of supporting its 656 kg weight and a dedicated electrical supply with proper grounding for the 5.5 kW motor. Adjustable jar sealing pressure must be set correctly to prevent leakage during high-speed operation, and jar and ball materials must be selected to avoid sample cross-contamination and chemical reactivity.

  • Floor and Electrical Requirements: Place the unit on a level surface rated for at least 656 kg and connect to a grounded electrical circuit sufficient for 5.5 kW continuous load.
  • Jar Sealing Pressure Adjustment: Set the sealing pressure using the graduated scale on the jar holder to avoid overtightening or uneven pressure that could cause jar misalignment or leakage.
  • Continuous Operation Ventilation: Ensure adequate airflow around the motor housing during 48-hour continuous operation at full load to prevent thermal overload.
  • Material Compatibility for Jars and Balls: Select grinding jar and ball materials that are chemically inert toward the sample to avoid contamination and potential reactions.
  • Vacuum Grinding Containment: Verify that all seals are intact and the vacuum system is properly connected when using vacuum grinding mode to maintain containment.

What is the achievable particle size distribution for soil heavy metal analysis using the PBM-40, and how does the adjustable jar sealing pressure affect grinding efficiency?

The PBM-40 can achieve output particle sizes as fine as 0.1 μm from soil feed up to 10 mm. The graduated scale jar sealing system allows adjustable sealing pressure, which can be optimized to enhance impact energy and reduce contamination, ensuring consistent sub-micron refinement for heavy metal analysis.

Which grinding jar material is recommended for trace heavy metal analysis in soil to minimize cross-contamination?

For zero-metal analysis, agate (natural SiO2) jars are recommended as they are non-metallic and avoid introducing metal contaminants. Alternatively, YSZ (yttria-stabilized zirconia) jars offer high wear resistance and low contamination for heavy metal analysis. The product offers jar materials including WC-Co, Al2O3, Agate, YSZ, SS, PU, Ceramic, and Nylon, each with specific contamination profiles.

What are the electrical and spatial requirements for installing the PBM-40 planetary ball mill in a laboratory?

The PBM-40 requires a 5.5KW power supply with variable frequency control, and its dimensions are 1400×880×1070 mm with a net weight of 656 kg. Adequate floor loading capacity and a dedicated electrical circuit are necessary. The system also includes an electric screener, so additional bench space may be needed.

The PBM-40 is a 40 L planetary ball mill with 5.5 kW motor, designed for soil heavy metal analysis. It achieves sub-micron particle sizes (down to 0.1 μm) and supports 48-hour continuous operation. However, grinding jars and balls are not included, and the unit's 656 kg weight and large footprint require substantial lab infrastructure.

Positive

  • Ultrafine output down to 0.1 μm: The planetary milling action with adjustable sealing pressure delivers consistent sub-micron particle refinement from soil feed up to 10 mm, enabling thorough sample preparation for heavy metal analysis.
  • 48-hour continuous operation capability: The industrial-grade 5.5 kW motor with variable frequency controller and automatic forward-reverse commutation supports uninterrupted full-load grinding for extended periods, maximizing throughput for large sample batches.

Trade-offs

  • Grinding jars and balls ordered separately: The main unit and electric screener are included, but the four 10 L grinding jars and grinding balls (40% jar volume) must be purchased separately, adding to total cost and requiring material compatibility selection.
  • Heavy weight and large footprint: At 656 kg net weight and 1400×880×1070 mm dimensions, the PBM-40 requires dedicated lab space with robust floor support and adequate clearance for operation and maintenance.
