Description

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

RESEARCH GRADE EQUIPMENT

Product Overview

ATOMFAIR CPM-0.4A Cryogenic Planetary Ball Mill – key parameters: 250 W gear-drive motor, 0–870 r/min (1:1.5) jar rotation, 140 mm revolution diameter, 80 mm jar holder ID, total volume 0.4 L (4 jars × 0.1 L each), output down to 0.1 μm, integrated 2P air-cooled refrigeration unit maintains 5–15°C.
The CPM-0.4A 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 of precious or limited-quantity samples 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 0.1 L jars (total volume 0.4 L). This listing is priced for the CPM-0.4A 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.

The integrated refrigeration unit requires adequate ventilation around the equipment to maintain optimal cooling performance. Temperature control within 5–15°C is dependent on ambient temperature conditions, requiring a stable laboratory environment for consistent results.

  • Ventilation Requirement: Provide adequate clearance around the refrigeration unit to ensure proper air circulation for cooling.
  • Ambient Temperature Dependency: Maintain a stable laboratory ambient temperature to enable consistent 5–15°C grinding chamber control.
  • Material Compatibility: Select grinding jar and ball materials that are chemically compatible with the target sample to prevent cross-contamination.
  • Jar Volume Loading: Fill each grinding jar to no more than two-thirds of its capacity to allow effective ball motion and avoid overloading.

This procedure covers initial setup and safe operation of the CPM-0.4A for low-temperature grinding. Ensure all environmental constraints are met before starting.

Required Equipment: CPM-0.4A Cryogenic Planetary Ball Mill main unit, Compatible grinding jars and balls

  1. Inspect ventilation clearance
    Verify that the refrigeration unit has adequate surrounding clearance for unrestricted air circulation.
  2. Select grinding media
    Choose grinding jars and balls made from a material compatible with the target sample to prevent contamination.
  3. Load jars
    Fill each grinding jar with sample material and balls to no more than two-thirds of the jar volume.
  4. Set rotation speed
    Adjust the inverter speed control to the desired rotation rate within the 0–870 r/min range.
  5. Start milling
    Activate the mill and monitor the chamber temperature to ensure it remains within the 5–15°C range.

What is the maximum particle size reduction achievable with the CPM-0.4A cryogenic planetary ball mill, and how does the 5–15°C temperature control affect grinding efficiency for temperature-sensitive materials?

The CPM-0.4A can achieve final particle sizes down to 0.1 μm, depending on material and process parameters. The integrated 2P air-cooled refrigeration unit maintains the grinding chamber between 5–15°C, which prevents thermal degradation of temperature-sensitive materials like electronic ceramics, lithium cobalt oxide, and pharmaceutical actives, but may slightly increase grinding time compared to ambient milling due to reduced kinetic energy from lower jar temperatures.

Which grinding jar materials are compatible with the CPM-0.4A, and what are the key considerations for selecting jar and ball media to avoid cross-contamination?

The CPM-0.4A accepts 4 standard 0.1 L jars with an 80 mm jar holder ID, available in WC-Co, Al₂O₃, Agate, YSZ, SS, PU, Ceramic, and Nylon. Jar and ball materials must be selected to match the target sample chemistry—for example, Agate (natural SiO₂) is ideal for zero-metal analysis, while YSZ (yttria-stabilized zirconia) offers high wear resistance for hard ceramics. Grinding balls should fill 40% of jar capacity, and both jars and balls are ordered separately from the main unit.

What are the ventilation and ambient temperature requirements for the CPM-0.4A's integrated air-cooled refrigeration unit to maintain stable 5–15°C operation?

The 2P air-cooled compressor-based refrigeration unit requires adequate ventilation space around the equipment for optimal heat exchange. The 5–15°C temperature control range is dependent on ambient temperature differential—a stable laboratory environment is necessary for consistent results. The unit weighs 34 kg with dimensions of 530×300×360 mm, and the gear-drive motor operates at 250 W with stepless speed control from 0–870 rpm (1:1.5 jar rotation ratio).

The CPM-0.4A cryogenic planetary ball mill integrates a 2P air-cooled refrigeration unit to maintain 5–15°C during grinding, with a 250 W gear-drive motor and 0.4 L total capacity (4×0.1 L jars), achieving ultrafine output down to 0.1 μm for temperature-sensitive and limited-quantity samples.

Positive

  • Integrated cryogenic cooling for heat-sensitive materials: Compressor-based air-cooled refrigeration system stably maintains grinding chamber temperature between 5–15°C, preventing thermal degradation of materials such as pharmaceuticals, catalysts, and electronic ceramics during high-speed grinding.
  • Gear-driven transmission with stepless speed control: The gear drive delivers robust torque for heavy loads, while a brand inverter enables precise stepless speed regulation from 0–870 rpm, allowing optimization of grinding parameters for different materials.

Trade-offs

  • Jars and media ordered separately: The main unit does not include grinding jars or balls; buyers must select compatible materials (e.g., Al₂O₃, YSZ, agate) separately, adding procurement steps and requiring careful material compatibility assessment.
  • Temperature control dependent on ambient conditions: The 5–15°C range is relative to ambient temperature; consistent performance requires a stable laboratory environment and adequate ventilation around the refrigeration unit to avoid overheating.
