Description

ATOMFAIR SBM-20L LABORATORY STIRRED BALL MILL ULTRASFINE GRINDING

RESEARCH GRADE EQUIPMENT

Product Overview

The ATOMFAIR SBM-20L is a Laboratory Stirred Ball Mill classified as a Light TYPE production unit, driven by a 2.2 kW motor with frequency speed control offering a continuously variable speed range of 60–380 rpm. The mill features a total volume of 20 L with a maximum loading capacity of 7.0 L, accepting feed material up to ≤10 mm and delivering ultrafine grinding output ≤1 μm. The stirred mill consists of a stationary grinding chamber filled with small-diameter media, a stirring device, and auxiliary systems including circulation, jacketed cooling for precise temperature control, timing, and speed regulation. The grinding efficiency is significantly higher than conventional ball mills due to the high power density design. The stirring shaft features automatic lifting and the grinding chamber supports free tilting for convenient loading, unloading, and cleaning. This listing is priced for the main unit only—grinding jars and grinding balls are ordered separately. The SBM series spans from 1 L laboratory models to 600 L production units, covering research, pilot, and full-scale production applications across ceramics, chemicals, electronics, magnetic materials, coatings, pharmaceuticals, and new materials processing.

Key Features & Advantages

  • High Energy Utilization with Ultrafine ≤1 μm Output: The stirred mill design achieves significantly higher power density than conventional ball mills, delivering superior energy efficiency and consistent ultrafine grinding to particle sizes ≤1 μm from maximum feed of 10 mm.
  • Jacketed Grinding Chamber for Precise Temperature Control: The double-walled cooling jacket enables effective heat dissipation during extended grinding operations, preventing thermal degradation of temperature-sensitive materials and ensuring consistent product quality.
  • Automatic Lifting Stirring Shaft with Free Tilting Chamber: The stirring shaft features automatic lifting capability and the grinding chamber supports free tilting, facilitating convenient loading, unloading, and cleaning between experiments.
  • Multiple Jar and Ball Material Options for Contamination Control: Nine grinding jar materials and seven ball materials enable contamination-free processing of diverse materials from ceramics to pharmaceuticals.

APPLICATION SCOPE: Laboratory ultrafine grinding and powder processing for material science research. Suitable for zirconium silicate, zirconia, alumina, ceramics, chemicals, electronic materials, magnetic materials, papermaking, coatings, non-metallic minerals, new materials, paints, graphite, calcium carbonate, and pharmaceutical fine powder production. Compatible with both continuous and batch processing modes with frequency speed control for process parameter optimization.
PACKAGING: This listing is priced for the SBM-20L main unit only. The standard configuration includes 1 pc grinding host machine. Grinding jars (4 pcs of 5 L, available materials: WC-Co, Al₂O₃, Agate, YSZ, SS, PU, Ceramic, Nylon) and grinding balls (WC-Co, Al₂O₃, Agate, YSZ, SS, IC-PU, HCCI) are ordered separately. The SBM series is available from 1 L laboratory models through 600 L production units. Installation guidance and operational training support are provided upon request.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: The listed price is for the SBM-20L main unit; grinding jars and balls must be ordered separately. Select jar and ball materials compatible with your target material to avoid cross-contamination. The jacketed cooling system should be connected to an appropriate cooling water supply for temperature-controlled grinding. Product particle size can be adjusted by controlling material residence time within the grinding chamber. For detailed installation, operation, and maintenance instructions, consult the user manual prior to first use.

This mill requires grounding and overload protection to prevent electrical hazards. Grinding media and cylinder material must be compatible with processed materials to avoid contamination or chemical reaction.

  • Electrical Safety: Ensure proper grounding and use a residual current device due to the motor power rating of 2.2 kW.
  • Material Compatibility: Select grinding cylinder and stirrer materials that are chemically compatible with the sample to prevent corrosion or contamination.
  • Thermal Management: Activate the cooling jacket to maintain temperature below the safe operating limit during prolonged milling.
  • Mechanical Guarding: Operate only with the grinding cylinder securely locked and avoid exposure to rotating parts during operation.
  • Overload Prevention: Do not exceed the maximum loading capacity of 7 liters to prevent motor overload and mechanical stress.

Follow these steps to initialize and safely operate the stirred mill. Ensure all safety checks are completed before powering on.

Required Equipment: Grinding media (e.g., zirconia beads), Stirring cylinder (selected material), Cooling circulation unit

  1. Inspect Components
    Inspect all mill components and grinding media for wear, cracks, or damage before each use.
  2. Select Materials
    Choose the grinding cylinder and stirrer material based on chemical compatibility and abrasion resistance for the sample.
  3. Load Mill
    Load grinding media and sample material into the cylinder without exceeding the rated loading capacity of 7 liters.
  4. Set Parameters and Start
    Set the desired speed and milling time on the control panel, activate the cooling circulation, and start the mill.

How does grinding media size affect the achievable particle size in the JM-20L stirred mill?

Larger grinding media produce coarser particle sizes, while smaller media yield finer powders. The working principle involves collision, extrusion, friction, and shearing forces generated by irregular motion of the media, and a proper ratio of media sizes combined with speed adjustment optimizes grinding performance. Fineness can be further controlled by adjusting the residence time of materials in the cylinder.

What grinding cylinder material options are available for the JM-20L to prevent contamination when milling different materials?

The JM-20L offers optional grinding cylinders and stirring components made of stainless steel, corundum ceramic, polyurethane, zirconia, agate, and PTFE. These wear-resistant materials allow researchers to match the mill's contact surfaces to the material being processed, minimizing cross-contamination and ensuring chemical compatibility for diverse applications like ceramics, coatings, and pharmaceuticals.

Does the JM-20L stirred mill include a cooling system for temperature-sensitive grinding processes?

Yes, the grinding cylinder is designed with a jacket that allows precise control of the grinding temperature. The mill also supports optional circulation units and temperature adjustment as customizable auxiliary features, making it suitable for heat-sensitive materials that require stable thermal conditions during fine grinding.

The JM-20L Lab Stirred Mill delivers high grinding efficiency and fine particle size control down to ≤1 μm, with a jacketed grinding cylinder for precise temperature management. Its 2.2 kW motor and 50–320 rpm speed range make it suitable for batch or continuous processing of advanced materials, though optimal performance requires careful selection of grinding media size and ratio.

Positive

  • High grinding efficiency and fine particle control: Achieves discharge particle sizes ≤1 μm with high energy utilization, enabling precise fineness adjustment via residence time regulation.
  • Customizable wear-resistant material options: Grinding cylinder and stirring components can be selected from stainless steel, corundum, zirconia, polyurethane, and other materials to match material compatibility requirements.

Trade-offs

  • Requires optimized grinding media selection: Grinding performance depends on proper size, shape, and ratio of media; suboptimal choice may yield coarser particles or reduced efficiency.
  • Jacket cooling requires external infrastructure: The grinding cylinder jacket for temperature control necessitates a connected cooling or heating system, adding to laboratory setup complexity.
