Description

ATOMFAIR CPM-0.4A CRYOGENIC PLANETARY BALL MILL 5-15°C LOW-TEMP GRINDING

RESEARCH GRADE EQUIPMENT

Product Overview

This equipment combines a planetary ball mill with an air-cooled refrigeration unit based on compressor-type cooling principles. During high-speed grinding, most materials generate temperature rise through friction and exothermic reactions, which can alter physicochemical properties and compromise grinding results. This cryogenic planetary ball mill is specifically designed for low-temperature ultrafine grinding research where strict temperature control is critical. The air-cooled refrigeration gear drive 0.1μm system rapidly removes grinding-generated heat through cold air circulation, stably maintaining the grinding chamber temperature between 5–15°C depending on ambient temperature differential. The gear-driven transmission supports simultaneous operation of 2 or 4 grinding jars with single jar volumes from 5 L to 50 L (total volume 20 L–200 L). This listing is priced for the main unit only—grinding jars and grinding balls are ordered separately. The CPM series spans from 0.2 L miniature models to 200 L production units with integrated cryogenic temperature control.

Technical Specifications

The ATOMFAIR CPM-0.4A is a semi-circular cryogenic planetary ball mill with a 0.25 kW motor and a jar rotation speed range of 0–870 rpm. The jar seat inner diameter is 80 mm with a planetary revolution diameter of Φ140 mm. The overall dimensions are 530 × 300 × 360 mm with a net weight of approximately 34 kg. The transmission system employs gear drive with brand-name inverter stepless speed regulation. The working mode supports simultaneous operation of 2 or 4 grinding jars, each with a single jar volume of 0.02L–0.1L (total volume 0.08L–0.4L), and a maximum loading capacity (material plus balls) of two-thirds of the jar volume. The machine accepts feed sizes of ≤10 mm for soil samples and ≤3 mm for other materials, delivering output fineness down to 0.1 μm depending on material properties and grinding process parameters. The integrated air-cooled refrigeration unit uses compressor-based cooling with cold air circulation to stably maintain the grinding chamber temperature between 5–15°C.

  1. Inspect jars and balls
    Inspect the grinding jars and balls for cracks, wear, or contamination before each use.
  2. Load sample and media
    Load the sample material and appropriate grinding balls into each jar, ensuring balanced weight distribution across all jars.
  3. Secure jars onto disc
    Secure the filled jars onto the planetary disc using the clamping mechanism, verifying each jar is firmly locked.
  4. Set operating parameters
    Set the desired rotation speed (0–870 rpm) and grinding time on the control panel, and confirm the refrigeration system is active.
  5. Start and monitor cycle
    Start the mill and monitor for abnormal vibrations, noise, or temperature deviations throughout the grinding cycle.

    After the program completes, stop the mill and allow the jars to cool to room temperature before opening to avoid thermal shock.

How does the air cooling system in the PBM-0.4A achieve a 5–15°C grinding chamber temperature without limiting the mill's maximum rotation speed of 870 r/min?

The air cooling unit uses air-conditioning compression refrigeration to generate cold air that rapidly removes heat during grinding. The planetary mill's motor independently drives the main disc up to 870 r/min, and the cooling system runs in parallel, so the rotation speed is unaffected; the technical table confirms the rotation speed range of 0–870 r/min for the PBM-0.4A.

What are the required specifications for grinding jars and balls to ensure compatibility with the PBM-0.4A?

The PBM-0.4A has a grinding jar holder inner diameter of 80 mm, so jars must have an outer diameter of 80 mm or less. Grinding jars and balls are not included and must be ordered separately; the mill accommodates four jars on the main disc as described in the operating principle.

What are the infrastructure requirements for operating the PBM-0.4A low temperature planetary ball mill in a laboratory?

The PBM-0.4A requires standard electrical power for its 250W motor and integrated air conditioning system. The air cooling device is self-contained using compression refrigeration and does not need external water, gas, or venting connections, and its compact dimensions of 530×300×360 mm allow for convenient benchtop installation without specialized infrastructure.

The PBM-0.4A Low Temp Planetary Ball Mill integrates an air-cooled refrigeration system for controlled 5–15°C grinding, critical for heat-sensitive materials in battery chemistry and ceramics. Buyers must account for separate procurement of grinding jars and balls and ambient-temperature-dependent cooling performance.

Positive

  • Low-temperature grinding control: Integrated air-cooled refrigeration maintains the grinding chamber at 5–15°C, preventing heat-induced changes in physical and chemical properties during high-speed milling.
