Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Which ball mill is best for solid-state battery research?

A: For most solid-state electrolyte synthesis (LLZO, LATP, sulfides), a planetary ball mill (0.4L – 4L) with zirconia jars and balls is the standard choice. For larger batches (pilot scale), we recommend the roller ball mill (20L+).

Q: Can I mill under inert gas or vacuum?

A: Yes. Our planetary and high-energy ball mills are available with vacuum/inert gas sealing options. Please specify your requirement when ordering.

Q: What is the difference between a planetary and a roller ball mill?

A: Planetary mills use high centrifugal force for fine grinding (down to <100nm) and are ideal for lab scale. Roller mills use gentle tumbling action and are better for larger volumes (5L+) and pilot production.

Q: Do you offer custom jar sizes or materials?

A: Yes. We can customize jar materials (zirconia, agate, stainless steel, PTFE, nylon) and sizes based on your specific application. Contact our team for a quote.
