Description

ATOMFAIR CPM-(8-12) 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-(8-12) is a standard-type cryogenic planetary ball mill with a 1.5 kW motor and a jar rotation speed range of 0–580 rpm. The jar seat inner diameter is 162 mm with a planetary revolution diameter of Φ275 mm. The overall dimensions are 900 × 600 × 640 mm with a net weight of approximately 168 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 0.25 L–5 L (total volume 1 L–20 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.

Grinding jars and balls must be sourced separately and are not included with the main unit. The refrigeration system must maintain the chamber temperature between 5 and 15 degrees Celsius to prevent material overheating.

  • Grinding Jar and Ball Requirement: Grinding jars and grinding balls are not included with the main machine and must be ordered separately.
  • Temperature Control Requirement: The air cooling unit must be operational to keep the chamber within the specified 5–15°C range during grinding.
  • Heat Generation Awareness: Friction and exothermic reactions during grinding can raise material temperature, requiring active cooling to maintain low-temperature conditions.

The procedure involves installing grinding jars onto the planetary disc, loading material and balls, and starting the refrigeration and motor systems. The planetary motion achieves fine grinding while the air cooling unit maintains a low-temperature environment.

Required Equipment: Planetary Ball Mill Main Machine, Grinding Jars, Grinding Balls

  1. Install Grinding Jars
    Install four grinding jars onto the main disc of the planetary ball mill.
  2. Load Material and Balls
    Fill each jar with grinding balls and the material to be ground.
  3. Activate Refrigeration
    Activate the air cooling unit to set the chamber temperature between 5 and 15 degrees Celsius.
  4. Start Motor
    Engage the motor to drive the planetary motion of the jars for grinding.

How does the cooling capacity of the low-temperature planetary ball mill affect grinding efficiency for heat-sensitive materials like lithium cobalt oxide?

The integrated air cooling system uses compression refrigeration to maintain a grinding chamber temperature of 5–15°C, enabling ultrafine grinding of heat-sensitive materials without thermal degradation. For materials such as lithium cobalt oxide and lithium manganate, this controlled temperature prevents phase changes and preserves electrochemical properties, though the added cooling load may reduce effective grinding throughput compared to ambient operation.

What are the compatibility requirements for grinding jars and balls when using the PBM-(8-12) low-temperature ball mill?

Grinding jars and balls are not included and must be ordered separately. For the PBM-12 model, the jar holder accepts jars with outer diameters of 200 mm and 300 mm. The jar and ball material must be selected based on sample compatibility (e.g., agate, zirconia, stainless steel) to avoid contamination or unwanted reactions during planetary grinding.

What electrical and space infrastructure is required for installing a 1.5 kW low-temperature planetary ball mill in a laboratory?

The PBM-12 model requires a 1.5 kW single-phase 220 V power supply and occupies a footprint of 1260×800×640 mm with a net weight of 235 kg. The air cooling unit adds additional space and requires adequate ventilation for heat exhaust from the compressor; placement in a well-ventilated area is recommended to maintain cooling performance.

This low-temperature planetary ball mill integrates an air cooling system to maintain a 5–15°C grinding chamber, making it suitable for heat-sensitive materials that require strict temperature control during ultra-fine grinding. However, buyers must note that grinding jars and balls are not included with the main unit and must be ordered separately, and the cooling performance is dependent on ambient temperature conditions.

Positive

  • Integrated air cooling for 5–15°C: The built-in air conditioning compression refrigeration system circulates cold air to rapidly remove grinding heat, enabling stable low-temperature operation without external cooling loops.
  • Broad material compatibility: Applicable to geology, metallurgy, ceramics, electronics, and battery materials (e.g., lithium cobalt oxide, catalysts, nanomaterials) where exothermic reactions or friction-induced heating must be controlled.

Trade-offs

  • Grinding jars and balls not included: The listed price covers only the main machine; appropriate grinding jars and media must be purchased separately to operate the mill, adding to initial setup cost and lead time.
  • Ambient temperature dependent cooling: The achievable grinding chamber temperature range of 5–15°C is relative to ambient conditions, meaning performance may degrade in hot environments without additional climate control in the laboratory.
