HPBM-16 HEAVY-DUTY HORIZONTAL PLANETARY BALL MILL 3KW

LABORATORY & PRODUCTION GRADE EQUIPMENT

Product Introduction

HPBM-16 is a heavy-duty horizontal laboratory and production-grade planetary ball mill equipped with a 3kW 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-16 include a drive ratio of 0.096, adjustable jar rotation speed ranging 0–480 rpm, 182 mm inner diameter jar holders, Φ385 mm jar revolution orbit diameter, overall dimensions of 1640×840×1040 mm and a net weight of 470 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.

This heavy-duty planetary ball mill is equipped with a 3kW motor and a brake locking safety function for the lifting mechanism. The jar rotation speed is limited to 480 rpm, and grinding jars and media must be ordered separately based on material compatibility.

  • Brake Locking Safety: Engage the brake lock before operating the lifting mechanism to prevent accidental movement.
  • Jar Speed Limit: Set the jar rotation speed within the 0–480 rpm range to avoid exceeding mechanical design limits.
  • Jar and Media Compatibility: Select grinding jars and media that are compatible with the material being milled to avoid contamination or damage.

How does the HPBM-16's drive ratio of 0.096 and 480 rpm maximum jar speed affect grinding efficiency for high-hardness materials compared to higher-speed models?

The HPBM-16 uses a drive ratio of 0.096 and a maximum jar rotation speed of 480 rpm, which provides higher torque at lower speeds compared to models like HPBM-(2-6) with a 0.134 ratio and 670 rpm. This trade-off is designed for heavy-duty grinding of high-hardness materials such as WC-Co or YSZ, where sustained torque is more critical than high-speed impact. The 3 kW motor and dual-end double disc support frame further enhance stability under load.

Which grinding jar material is recommended for lithium battery material processing in the HPBM-16?

For lithium battery materials, Al₂O₃ (corundum) or YSZ (yttria-stabilized zirconia) jars are recommended due to their high wear resistance and low contamination risk. The HPBM-16 accepts 4 L jars with a 182 mm inner diameter holder, and these materials are available as optional accessories. Agate jars are suitable for zero-metal analysis, while WC-Co jars are preferred for ultra-hard materials.

What are the installation and safety requirements for the HPBM-16 given its 470 kg weight and integrated lifting mechanism?

The HPBM-16 weighs 470 kg and requires a stable, level floor capable of supporting that load. Its integrated lifting and screen discharging mechanism includes a brake locking safety function to prevent accidental movement during jar changes. The microcomputer touch control system supports forward-reverse cycle operation and power-off memory, but the unit must be connected to a suitable 3 kW power supply. Proper ventilation and clearance around the 1640×840×1040 mm footprint are recommended.

The HPBM-16 heavy-duty horizontal planetary ball mill delivers high structural rigidity and 3 kW motor power for pilot-scale and small-batch grinding, but requires separate procurement of grinding jars and media and occupies a substantial laboratory footprint at 470 kg net weight.

Positive

  • Heavy-duty rigid frame construction: Dual-end double disc support frame, thickened steel plate cabinetry, and CNC-machined heat-treated parts with precision alloy gears provide exceptional mechanical stability and low-noise operation during high-speed milling.
  • Integrated safety and control features: Built-in lifting and screen discharging mechanism with brake-locking safety, plus microcomputer touch control supporting forward-reverse cycles, timing, and power-off memory, enable reproducible and safe processing.

Trade-offs

  • Grinding jars and media sold separately: The main unit does not include jars or grinding balls; these consumables must be ordered separately in compatible materials (e.g., Al₂O₃, YSZ, agate), adding initial procurement cost and lead time.
  • Large footprint and heavy mass: At 1640×840×1040 mm and 470 kg net weight, the mill requires a robust floor support, dedicated lab space, and appropriate lifting equipment for installation or relocation.
