Description

HPBM-20 HEAVY-DUTY HORIZONTAL PLANETARY BALL MILL 4KW

LABORATORY & PRODUCTION GRADE EQUIPMENT

Product Introduction

HPBM-20 is a heavy-duty horizontal laboratory and production-grade planetary ball mill equipped with a 4kW motor, designed for pilot trials and small-batch grinding production. It adopts a dual-end double disc support frame structure, greatly boosting overall rigidity, load capacity and operational stability compared with light horizontal planetary mills. Key technical specifications of HPBM-20 include a drive ratio of 0.086, adjustable jar rotation speed ranging 0–430 rpm, 200 mm inner diameter jar holders, Φ385 mm jar revolution orbit diameter, overall dimensions of 1640×840×1040 mm and a net weight of 730 kg. The machine features thickened steel plate cabinet, CNC machined heat-treated parts and precision special alloy transmission gears for stable low-noise high-speed running, integrated lifting and screen discharging mechanism with brake locking safety function, as well as a microcomputer touch control system supporting forward-reverse cycle operation, timing and power-off memory. Widely applied in geology, metallurgy, lithium battery materials, electronic ceramics, nanomaterials and other fields, this unit only covers the main machine in listed price; grinding jars and grinding balls need to be purchased separately.

Selection Guide

  • Capacity Requirements: Select cylinder volume based on output: 50L–500L for small-scale production, and above 1000L (e.g., 5000L-class equipment) for large industrial lines.
  • Material Characteristics: High-hardness materials require highly wear-resistant linings (e.g., manganese steel or zirconia) and large-sized grinding media. Wet grinding needs corrosion-resistant cylinders and sealed structures.
  • Energy Consumption & Maintenance: Prioritize models with rolling bearings and variable frequency speed control to reduce energy consumption and improve control accuracy. Regularly inspect lining wear and lubrication systems for long-term stable operation.
  • Special Requirements: For ultra-fine powders (≤1μm), a forced stirring system or counter-rotating device is recommended to enhance grinding efficiency. For industries with high cleanliness requirements (pharmaceuticals, food, etc.), full stainless steel structure and pollution-free linings are required.

The HPBM-20 is a heavy-duty 4kW horizontal planetary ball mill with a braking safety function and touch control. All milling operations require securely clamped grinding jars and proper brake engagement to prevent mechanical hazard.

  • Jar Securement Constraint: Grinding jars must be securely clamped in the 200 mm inner diameter jar holders before starting rotation to avoid imbalance and ejection.
  • Brake Locking Requirement: The brake locking safety function must be engaged before opening the screen discharging mechanism or accessing the milling chamber.
  • Ball Charge Constraint: Grinding balls should fill approximately 40% of the jar volume to maintain optimal milling dynamics and prevent overloading.
  • Power Supply Requirement: The 4kW motor requires a dedicated electrical circuit with appropriate overcurrent protection and grounding.
  • Material Containment Constraint: Compatible jar materials (WC-Co, Al2O3, agate, YSZ, SS, PU, ceramic, nylon) must be selected to avoid chemical contamination or reaction with the sample.

This procedure describes the safe initialization and operation of the HPBM-20 heavy-duty horizontal planetary ball mill. Follow these steps to set up grinding jars, add media, start the mill, and discharge milled material.

Required Equipment: Grinding jars (Al2O3, YSZ, agate, etc.), Grinding balls (WC-Co, Al2O3, agate, YSZ, SS)

  1. Secure Grinding Jars
    Place the grinding jars into the 200 mm jar holders and clamp them firmly to prevent movement during rotation.
  2. Load Grinding Media and Sample
    Fill each jar to approximately 40% volume with grinding balls and add the material to be milled, leaving headspace for grinding action.
  3. Close and Tighten Jar Lids
    Securely close and tighten the lids of all jars to prevent leakage and ensure containment.
  4. Set Operating Parameters
    Use the microcomputer touch panel to set desired rotation speed (0–430 rpm), forward/reverse cycles, and milling time.
  5. Confirm Brake Disengaged and Start Mill
    Ensure the brake locking function is disengaged, then press start to begin the milling cycle.
  6. Monitor and Stop Mill
    Monitor the operation; after the programmed time, the mill will stop automatically; allow it to come to a complete halt.
  7. Discharge Milled Material
    Engage the brake locking function, activate the integrated lifting and screen discharging mechanism, and collect the milled powder.

How does the 0.086 drive ratio of the HPBM-20 affect grinding performance compared to higher-ratio models like the HPBM-16?

The HPBM-20's 0.086 drive ratio, combined with a 4 kW motor and 0–430 rpm jar speed, delivers higher torque at lower rotational speeds compared to the HPBM-16's 0.096 ratio and 3 kW motor. This trade-off prioritizes stable, high-load grinding for larger jar capacities (200 mm ID holders) and heavier batches (730 kg net weight) over maximum jar speed, making it suitable for pilot-scale production of dense materials like lithium battery cathodes or electronic ceramics.

Can the HPBM-20 be integrated with 5 L grinding jars made of WC-Co or YSZ for contamination-free milling of hard materials?

Yes, the HPBM-20 accepts 5 L grinding jars in materials including WC-Co, YSZ, Al₂O₃, agate, stainless steel, PU, ceramic, and nylon, all ordered separately. For hard materials like cemented carbides or zirconia, WC-Co or YSZ jars paired with matching grinding balls (e.g., WC-Co or YSZ media) minimize cross-contamination and maximize wear resistance, though the 200 mm jar holder inner diameter and 385 mm revolution orbit must accommodate the selected jar geometry.

What safety and infrastructure requirements are needed for operating the 730 kg HPBM-20 with its integrated lifting and brake locking mechanism?

The HPBM-20 requires a reinforced floor capable of supporting its 730 kg net weight and 1640×840×1040 mm footprint, plus a 4 kW electrical supply. Its integrated lifting and screen discharging mechanism with brake locking safety function prevents accidental jar release during operation, but users must ensure adequate clearance for the dual-end double disc support frame and access to the microcomputer touch control for forward-reverse cycling and power-off memory recovery.

The HPBM-20 is a 4 kW heavy-duty horizontal planetary ball mill featuring a dual-end double disc support frame for enhanced rigidity, integrated lifting and screen discharging with brake locking, and microcomputer touch control. Its operational deployment requires separate purchase of grinding jars and media, and the 730 kg net weight necessitates robust floor infrastructure.

Positive

  • Heavy-duty rigid frame construction: Dual-end double disc support frame greatly boosts overall rigidity, load capacity, and operational stability compared to light horizontal planetary mills.
  • Integrated discharge and control system: Integrated lifting and screen discharging mechanism with brake locking safety function, plus microcomputer touch control with forward-reverse cycle, timing, and power-off memory for flexible and safe operation.

Trade-offs

  • Grinding jars and media sold separately: Grinding jars and grinding balls are not included with the main unit and must be ordered separately, increasing initial setup complexity and cost.
  • High net weight requires robust support: At 730 kg net weight, the unit demands substantial floor loading capacity and specialized handling equipment for installation and relocation.
