Description

ATOMFAIR DPBM-4 DUAL PLANETARY BALL MILL 4L VARIABLE FREQUENCY

LABORATORY GRADE EQUIPMENT

Product Overview

The ATOMFAIR DPBM-4 Dual Planetary Ball Mill is a laboratory-grade high-energy grinding equipment featuring a unique double planetary structure. The large planetary disk drives the small grinding jars in motion, with revolution radius and rotation speed larger than those of ordinary planetary ball mills of the same specification. The centrifugal force on the grinding balls is multiplied, significantly increasing collision, shearing and friction between the balls for improved grinding effect and efficiency. Some materials can be ground to nanometer scale. The DPBM-4 4L 4-jar dual planetary design with variable frequency speed control delivers revolution speeds of 70–560 r/min and rotation speeds of 140–1120 r/min. This listing is priced for the DPBM-4 main unit only—grinding jars and grinding balls are ordered separately. The DPBM series spans from 0.4 L to 6 L models, covering research, pilot, and small-batch production across electronics, magnetics, pharmaceuticals, ceramics, geology, and advanced materials processing.

  • Flexible Programmable Operation: Variable frequency speed control with total set running time (1–9999 min) and forward-reverse alternating time (1–999 min) for customized grinding protocols.

APPLICATION SCOPE: Widely used in electronics, magnetics, pharmaceuticals, ceramics, geology, mineral resources, metallurgy, building materials, chemical industry, light industry, cosmetics, environmental protection and other industries. Specifically suitable for high-energy grinding of advanced materials, nanocomposites, battery materials, catalysts, pigments, ceramics, and pharmaceutical compounds requiring ultrafine particle size reduction.
PACKAGING: This listing is priced for the DPBM-4 main unit only. The standard configuration includes 1 pc grinding host machine. Grinding jars (WC-Co · Al₂O₃ · Agate · YSZ · SS · PU · Ceramic · Nylon) and grinding balls (WC-Co · Al₂O₃ · Agate · YSZ · SS · IC-PU) are ordered separately. Compatible with 1000ml jar capacities (50–1000ml vacuum grinding jars available). The DPBM series is available from 0.4 L through 6 L models. Installation guidance and operational training support are provided upon request.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: The listed price is for the main unit; grinding jars and balls must be ordered separately. Select jar and ball materials compatible with your target material to avoid cross-contamination. The dual planetary structure delivers significantly higher energy than standard planetary mills—adjust speed and grinding time accordingly to avoid over-grinding. For detailed installation, operation, and maintenance instructions, consult the user manual prior to first use.

The DPBM-4 main unit requires a stable, level surface and a 220V-50Hz power supply for safe operation. Grinding jars and balls must be ordered separately and selected for material compatibility to avoid cross-contamination and over-grinding.

  • Material Compatibility: Select jar and ball materials compatible with the target material to avoid cross-contamination.
  • Over-Grinding Prevention: Adjust speed and grinding time to avoid over-grinding due to the high-energy dual planetary design.
  • Electrical Requirement: Operate only on a 220V-50Hz supply with the specified motor power of 0.75 kW.
  • Sound Level: Expected noise level is 60±5 dB; hearing protection may be advisable.
  • Installation: The main unit weighs 250 kg and requires stable placement on a level surface.

Steps to safely initialize and operate the DPBM-4 dual planetary ball mill. Ensure proper jar selection and parameter settings before starting the grinding process.

Required Equipment: Grinding jars (order separately), Grinding balls (order separately), Variable frequency controller, User manual

  1. Select materials
    Select grinding jars and balls materials compatible with your target material to avoid cross-contamination.
  2. Inspect main unit
    Inspect the main unit for secure placement on a level surface and verify the power supply is 220V-50Hz.
  3. Install jars and balls
    Install the selected grinding jars and fill with grinding balls at approximately 40% of jar capacity.
  4. Set timing parameters
    Set total running time (1-9999 min) and forward-reverse alternating time (1-999 min) using the variable frequency controller.
  5. Start grinding
    Start the mill and monitor for normal operation listening for unusual noise or vibration.
  6. Stop and cool
    After completion, stop the mill and allow jars to cool before opening.

How does the DPBM-4's dual planetary design affect grinding energy and particle size compared to standard planetary ball mills, and what adjustments are needed to avoid over-grinding?

The dual planetary design multiplies centrifugal force on grinding balls, enabling nanometer-scale particle sizes through enhanced collision, shearing, and friction. However, because this structure delivers significantly higher energy than standard planetary mills, users must adjust speed (revolution 70–560 rpm, rotation 140–1120 rpm) and grinding time (1–9999 min total) to avoid over-grinding. The variable frequency speed control allows fine-tuning.

What jar and media materials are compatible with the DPBM-4, and how should researchers select them to prevent cross-contamination when grinding different sample types?

The DPBM-4 accepts 1000 ml grinding jars (50–1000 ml vacuum jars also available) in materials including WC-Co, Al₂O₃, Agate, YSZ, SS, PU, Ceramic, and Nylon, with corresponding grinding ball media in WC-Co, Al₂O₃, Agate, YSZ, SS, and IC-PU. Researchers must order jars and balls separately and select materials compatible with their target sample to prevent cross-contamination, as the high-energy dual planetary action can exacerbate contamination if mismatched.

What are the infrastructure requirements for installing the DPBM-4 dual planetary ball mill, including power supply, space, and noise considerations?

The DPBM-4 requires a 220V-50Hz power supply with a 0.75 kW motor, and has a net weight of 250 kg with overall dimensions of 1150×800×760 mm, so it needs a sturdy, level work surface. Operational noise is 60±5 dB, comparable to a loud conversation, but the precision gear drive ensures stable, low-noise operation. Variable frequency control and programmable forward-reverse alternating (1–999 min) enable customized protocols, but first-time users must consult the manual for proper installation and operation.

The DPBM-4 Dual Planetary Ball Mill delivers high-energy grinding via a dual planetary structure with larger revolution radius, enabling nanometer-scale particle size reduction. It offers variable frequency speed control (70–560 rpm revolution, 140–1120 rpm rotation) and programmable timing (1–9999 min). However, the main unit is sold without grinding jars or media, requiring separate procurement, and its higher energy output demands careful speed and time adjustment to prevent over-grinding.

Positive

  • High-energy dual planetary design: The dual planetary structure multiplies centrifugal force through larger revolution radius and rotation speed, significantly enhancing collision, shearing, and friction for efficient grinding down to nanometer scale.
  • Versatile jar and mode compatibility: Accepts 1000 ml grinding jars (50–1000 ml vacuum jars available) and supports dry, wet, and vacuum grinding modes, with programmable forward-reverse alternating times for customized protocols.

Trade-offs

  • Main unit only – jars sold separately: The listed price covers only the DPBM-4 main unit; grinding jars and balls must be ordered separately, adding procurement steps and cost before operation.
  • Over-grinding risk at high energy: The dual planetary structure delivers significantly higher energy than standard planetary mills, requiring careful adjustment of speed and grinding time to avoid over-grinding the material.
