Description

ATOMFAIR CPM-16A 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-16A is a semi-circular cryogenic planetary ball mill with a 3 kW motor and a jar rotation speed range of 0–510 rpm. The jar seat inner diameter is 182 mm with a planetary revolution diameter of Φ320 mm. The overall dimensions are 950 × 600 × 710 mm with a net weight of approximately 205 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 0.5 L–10 L (total volume 2 L–40 L), 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.

This equipment combines a planetary ball mill with a compression refrigeration system to maintain the grinding chamber at 5–15°C during operation. Proper electrical grounding, ventilation, and component selection are required to ensure safe and reliable performance.

  • Electrical and Power Requirements: Connect the mill to a dedicated, grounded electrical outlet rated for 3KW to prevent overload and electrical hazards.
  • Refrigeration System Ventilation: Maintain at least 30 cm of clearance around the air intake and exhaust grilles to ensure efficient cooling and prevent overheating of the refrigeration unit.
  • Grinding Jar and Ball Selection: Use only compatible grinding jars and balls that can withstand the mechanical stress and chemical interaction with the sample material.
  • Chamber Temperature Monitoring: Continuously monitor the grinding chamber temperature to verify it remains within the 5–15°C range during operation.
  • Sample Containment: Ensure all jar lids are securely tightened and the chamber door is properly closed before starting the mill to prevent leakage of sample material.

This procedure guides the user through initial setup, cooling, and grinding operation of the low temperature ball mill. Follow these steps chronologically to ensure safe and efficient material processing under controlled temperature conditions.

Required Equipment: Grinding jars (ordered separately, compatible with sample material), Grinding balls (ordered separately, appropriate size and material), User manual for parameter programming

  1. Prepare grinding jars and balls
    Install the selected grinding balls inside the clean grinding jars and securely tighten the lids to prevent leakage.
  2. Mount jars on the main disc
    Place the assembled jars onto the four stations of the planetary disc and lock each jar in place using the clamping mechanism.
  3. Activate the refrigeration system
    Turn on the air cooling unit and set the target temperature between 5°C and 15°C, then allow the chamber to reach the set point before introducing the sample.
  4. Set grinding parameters
    Enter the desired rotation speed and grinding duration on the control panel according to the material requirements.
  5. Start the grinding cycle
    Press the start button to initiate planetary motion; monitor the temperature display to confirm it stays within the set range.
  6. Complete and unload
    After the cycle ends, allow the jars to rest for 2 minutes, then open the chamber and carefully remove the jars to avoid contact with moving parts.

What is the trade-off between achieving lower grinding temperatures (down to 5°C) and the PBM-16A's capacity to process large sample volumes?

The PBM-16A's air cooling system enables chamber temperatures as low as 5°C, but this cooling capacity is sized for standard jar diameters (130 mm holder ID). Larger sample volumes may require longer processing times or multiple batches to prevent thermal overload, as the system is optimized for the specified jar dimensions.

Can the PBM-16A be integrated into a glovebox for handling air-sensitive materials?

The standard PBM-16A is not designed for glovebox integration; however, the product line includes a mini glovebox type model (PBM-0.2S) specifically for such applications. For air-sensitive materials, the PBM-16A would require custom enclosure modifications to maintain an inert atmosphere.

What are the electrical and space requirements for installing the PBM-16A low temperature planetary ball mill?

The PBM-16A requires a 3 KW electrical supply and occupies a footprint of 1760 × 520 × 1180 mm with a net weight of 215 kg. It must be placed on a stable, level surface with sufficient clearance for the air cooling unit's ventilation, and installed in a temperature-controlled laboratory environment to achieve the specified 5–15°C grinding chamber range.

The PBM-16A low temperature planetary ball mill integrates a 3KW planetary mill with an air cooling unit to maintain grinding chamber temperature between 5–15°C, enabling cold grinding of heat-sensitive materials. Buyers must separately procure grinding jars and balls, and ensure adequate electrical capacity for the 3KW motor and refrigeration system.

Positive

  • Controlled low-temperature grinding at 5–15°C: Integrated air cooling unit maintains grinding chamber temperature between 5 and 15°C, preventing heat-induced changes in material properties during high-speed grinding.
  • Broad application in advanced materials: Suitable for grinding a wide range of materials including ceramics, battery materials, catalysts, and nanomaterials, as explicitly listed for electronics, energy, and pharmaceutical sectors.

Trade-offs

  • Grinding jars and balls sold separately: The main machine price does not include grinding jars and balls, which must be ordered separately for operation.
  • Requires 3KW+ electrical capacity: The 3KW motor power and integrated refrigeration unit demand a dedicated electrical supply; users must verify facility power capability.
