Description

ATOMFAIR CPM-20 CRYOGENIC PLANETARY BALL MILL 5-15°C LOW-TEMP GRINDING

RESEARCH & PRODUCTION GRADE EQUIPMENT

Product Overview

ATOMFAIR CPM-20 Cryogenic Planetary Ball Mill – key parameters: 4 kW gear-drive motor, 0–430 r/min (1:1.5) jar rotation, 385 mm revolution diameter, 222 mm jar holder ID, total volume 20 L (4 jars × 5 L each), output down to 0.1 μm, integrated 3P air-cooled refrigeration unit maintains 5–15°C.
The CPM-20 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 and small-batch production where strict temperature control is critical. The air-cooled refrigeration gear drive 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 4 grinding jars with 4 standard 5 L jars (total volume 20 L). This listing is priced for the CPM-20 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.

How does the CPM-20's rotational speed affect its cryogenic temperature stability and achievable particle size?

The CPM-20 operates at 0–430 rpm with a 1:1.5 jar rotation ratio. While higher speeds generate more frictional heat, the integrated 3P air-cooled refrigeration unit stably maintains the grinding chamber at 5–15°C across the speed range, enabling consistent ultrafine grinding down to 0.1 μm.

What jar and grinding ball materials are compatible with the CPM-20 for processing temperature-sensitive electronic ceramics without cross-contamination?

The CPM-20 lists available jar materials: WC-Co, Al₂O₃, Agate, YSZ, SS, PU, Ceramic, and Nylon; and ball materials: WC-Co, Al₂O₃, Agate, YSZ, SS, and IC-PU. For electronic ceramics like lithium cobalt oxide or alumina ceramics, the product can be ordered as a bundle with 4 Al₂O₃, YSZ, or Agate jars and matching media to control contamination.

What are the installation space and power requirements for the CPM-20's integrated air-cooled refrigeration system?

The CPM-20 measures 1200×790×930 mm, weighs 392 kg, has a 4 kW gear-drive motor, and its integrated 3P air-cooled refrigeration unit requires adequate ventilation space around the equipment to maintain 5–15°C. The 3P compressor designation indicates a three-phase power connection is required for optimal cooling performance.

The ATOMFair CPM-20 Cryogenic Planetary Ball Mill integrates a 4 kW gear-drive with an air-cooled refrigeration system to maintain 5–15°C grinding temperatures, enabling ultrafine (down to 0.1 μm) processing of temperature-sensitive materials in a 20 L total volume across four 5 L jars, though jars and media must be sourced separately and cooling performance depends on ambient conditions.

Positive

  • Integrated 5–15°C Cryogenic Temperature Control: The compressor-based air-cooled refrigeration system rapidly removes grinding heat, maintaining chamber temperature between 5–15°C for processing temperature-sensitive materials such as lithium cobalt oxide, phosphors, and MLCC ceramics without thermal degradation.
  • Gear-Drive with Stepless Speed Regulation: The 4 kW gear-driven transmission delivers robust torque for heavy 20 L loads, while the brand inverter enables precise 0–430 rpm stepless speed control, allowing optimization of grinding parameters for different material systems.

Trade-offs

  • Jars and Media Ordered Separately: The CPM-20 main unit does not include grinding jars or balls; these must be purchased separately with careful material selection to avoid cross-contamination with the sample.
  • Ambient Temperature Dependency for Cooling: The 5–15°C chamber temperature range is contingent on stable ambient conditions; the refrigeration unit requires adequate ventilation space, and performance may vary if the laboratory environment is not well-controlled.
