ATOMFAIR LNPM-4C LIQUID NITROGEN PLANETARY BALL MILL -40°C 4-STATION

RESEARCH & PRODUCTION GRADE EQUIPMENT

Product Overview

The ATOMFAIR LNPM-4C Liquid Nitrogen Planetary Ball Mill — a 4-station research-grade cryogenic grinding unit with 4 L total volume (4 × 1 L jars), 0.75 kW motor, 70–810 rpm rotation speed, 220V/110V universal voltage and a -40°C to 20°C temperature control range — places grinding jars within an insulated chamber continuously supplied with liquid nitrogen, which rapidly absorbs heat generated by high-speed grinding ball motion to maintain a persistent low-temperature grinding environment. Purpose-built for cryogenic ultrafine grinding research and small-batch production, this system is essential for material mixing, ultrafine grinding, sample preparation, pilot trials, and new product development. The LNPM series features a compact design with complete functionality, low operating noise, high grinding efficiency, and simple operation—making it the dedicated powder grinding equipment for university, research institute, and enterprise R&D laboratories. The four-station vacuum inert atmosphere grinding configuration allows simultaneous preparation of four different samples in a single run, with compatibility for vacuum grinding jars enabling inert or vacuum atmosphere cryogenic grinding. Under 0–10°C operating conditions, liquid nitrogen consumption is approximately 4–5 L/h.

Key Features & Advantages

  • Liquid Nitrogen Cooling with -40°C to 20°C Temperature Range: Continuous liquid nitrogen injection into the insulated chamber rapidly absorbs grinding-generated heat, maintaining the grinding environment at temperatures as low as -40°C for true cryogenic processing of temperature-sensitive materials.
  • Four-Station Simultaneous Grinding with Independent Sample Processing: The standard four-position grinding configuration enables simultaneous preparation of four different samples in a single run, dramatically improving experimental throughput for comparative material studies.
  • Vacuum and Inert Atmosphere Grinding Compatibility: The system supports vacuum grinding jars, enabling inert gas or vacuum atmosphere cryogenic grinding for air-sensitive materials that require complete environmental isolation during processing.
  • Compact Design with 4 L Total Volume (4 × 1 L): The LNPM-4C features a compact 4 L total volume supporting 4 standard 1 L grinding jars, offering an ideal balance between sample capacity and laboratory footprint while maintaining consistent cryogenic temperature control across all jars.

APPLICATION SCOPE: Widely used in geology, mining, metallurgy, electronics, building materials, ceramics, chemical engineering, light industry, pharmaceuticals, and environmental protection for low-temperature grinding. Specifically suitable for electronic ceramics, structural ceramics, magnetic materials, lithium cobalt oxide, lithium manganese oxide, catalysts, phosphors, long-afterglow luminescent powders, rare-earth polishing powders, glass micro-powders, fuel cells, zinc oxide varistors, piezoelectric ceramics, nanopowders, multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCC), PTC/NTC thermistors, dielectric ceramics, alumina ceramics, zirconia ceramics, zinc oxide powders, cobalt oxide powders, nickel-zinc ferrites, and manganese-zinc ferrites where cryogenic processing is essential.
PACKAGING: This listing is priced for the main unit only. The standard configuration includes 1 pc grinding host machine with liquid nitrogen cooling system and four-station grinding platform. Includes 50 L empty LN2 tank. Grinding jars and grinding balls are ordered separately. The LNPM series is available from 1 L through 12 L models. Compatible with 30 L, 50 L, or 100 L liquid nitrogen storage tanks. Installation guidance and operational training support are provided upon request.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: The listed price is for the main unit; grinding jars and grinding balls must be ordered separately. 50 L liquid nitrogen tank is included with the main unit. Liquid nitrogen consumption is approximately 4–5 L/h under 0–10°C operating conditions. Adequate ventilation is required in the operating area due to nitrogen gas displacement. Always follow cryogenic safety protocols when handling liquid nitrogen. For detailed installation, operation, and maintenance instructions, consult the user manual prior to first use.

What is the liquid nitrogen consumption rate of the LNPM-4C at typical cryogenic milling temperatures?

Under 0–10°C operating conditions, the LNPM-4C consumes approximately 4–5 L/h of liquid nitrogen. This rate is achieved by continuous injection into the insulated chamber to maintain the grinding environment at temperatures as low as -40°C.

Can the LNPM-4C be used for vacuum or inert atmosphere grinding of air-sensitive materials?

Yes, the LNPM-4C supports vacuum grinding jars, enabling inert gas or vacuum atmosphere cryogenic grinding. This allows complete environmental isolation for air-sensitive materials during processing.

What safety precautions are required when operating the LNPM-4C with liquid nitrogen?

Adequate ventilation is required in the operating area due to nitrogen gas displacement. Always follow cryogenic safety protocols when handling liquid nitrogen. For detailed installation, operation, and maintenance instructions, consult the user manual prior to first use.

The ATOMFAIR LNPM-4C is a 4-station cryogenic planetary ball mill with -40°C to 20°C temperature control, 4 L total volume, and 0.75 kW motor, designed for temperature-sensitive material grinding in research labs. It requires separate ordering of jars and balls and continuous liquid nitrogen supply at 4–5 L/h.

Positive

  • Cryogenic grinding down to -40°C: Continuous liquid nitrogen injection maintains a persistent low-temperature environment as low as -40°C, enabling true cryogenic processing of temperature-sensitive materials such as electronic ceramics, lithium battery materials, and pharmaceuticals.
  • Four-station simultaneous grinding: The four-position platform allows independent processing of up to four different samples in a single run, significantly improving throughput for comparative material studies and pilot-scale cryogenic milling.

Trade-offs

  • Continuous LN2 supply required: Under 0–10°C operating conditions, liquid nitrogen consumption is approximately 4–5 L/h, requiring a dedicated LN2 tank (50 L included) and adequate ventilation to prevent nitrogen gas displacement in the lab.
  • Grinding jars and balls ordered separately: The listed price covers only the main grinding unit and the included 50 L LN2 tank; all grinding jars and balls must be sourced separately, adding procurement lead time and cost.
