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.

What is the minimum achievable particle size 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 and preserves physicochemical properties during high-speed grinding, enabling ultrafine grinding of precious or limited-quantity samples.

Which grinding jar materials are compatible with the CPM-0.4A for contamination-free cryogenic grinding of oxide ceramics?

The CPM-0.4A accepts 0.1 L grinding jars in materials including WC-Co, Al₂O₃, Agate, YSZ, SS, PU, Ceramic, and Nylon. For oxide ceramics like alumina or zirconia, Al₂O₃ or YSZ jars are recommended to avoid cross-contamination. Jars are ordered separately; the main unit includes an 80 mm jar holder ID and gear drive for simultaneous operation of four jars.

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

The refrigeration unit requires adequate ventilation space around the equipment for optimal cooling performance. The 5–15°C temperature control range is dependent on ambient temperature conditions; a stable laboratory environment is necessary for consistent results. The unit uses a 2P compressor-based air-cooled system that removes grinding-generated heat via cold air circulation.

The CPM-0.4A cryogenic planetary ball mill integrates an air-cooled refrigeration system to maintain 5–15°C during grinding, enabling low-temperature ultrafine processing of precious or limited-quantity samples with particle sizes down to 0.1 μm. Its gear-driven transmission with inverter stepless speed control provides precise torque regulation, though grinding jars and media are procured separately and temperature stability is ambient-dependent.

Positive

  • Integrated cryogenic temperature control: Compressor-based air-cooled refrigeration maintains the grinding chamber at 5–15°C, counteracting frictional and exothermic heat to preserve physicochemical properties of temperature-sensitive materials.
  • Gear drive with stepless speed regulation: The gear-driven transmission combined with a brand-name inverter enables precise 0–870 r/min speed control, delivering robust torque for heavy loads and optimized grinding parameters across the full range.

Trade-offs

  • Ambient temperature dependency: The 5–15°C temperature range is contingent on ambient conditions; a stable laboratory environment is required for consistent performance, and adequate ventilation is necessary for the air-cooled unit.
  • Jars and media not included: Grinding jars and balls are ordered separately, increasing initial procurement complexity and requiring careful material selection to avoid cross-contamination with target samples.
