ATOMFAIR SBM-20L LABORATORY STIRRED BALL MILL ULTRASFINE GRINDING

RESEARCH GRADE EQUIPMENT

Product Overview

The ATOMFAIR SBM-20L is a Laboratory Stirred Ball Mill classified as a Light TYPE production unit, driven by a 2.2 kW motor with frequency speed control offering a continuously variable speed range of 60–380 rpm. The mill features a total volume of 20 L with a maximum loading capacity of 7.0 L, accepting feed material up to ≤10 mm and delivering ultrafine grinding output ≤1 μm. The stirred mill consists of a stationary grinding chamber filled with small-diameter media, a stirring device, and auxiliary systems including circulation, jacketed cooling for precise temperature control, timing, and speed regulation. The grinding efficiency is significantly higher than conventional ball mills due to the high power density design. The stirring shaft features automatic lifting and the grinding chamber supports free tilting for convenient loading, unloading, and cleaning. This listing is priced for the main unit only—grinding jars and grinding balls are ordered separately. The SBM series spans from 1 L laboratory models to 600 L production units, covering research, pilot, and full-scale production applications across ceramics, chemicals, electronics, magnetic materials, coatings, pharmaceuticals, and new materials processing.

  • Automatic Lifting Stirring Shaft with Free Tilting Chamber: The stirring shaft features automatic lifting capability and the grinding chamber supports free tilting, facilitating convenient loading, unloading, and cleaning between experiments.
  • Multiple Jar and Ball Material Options for Contamination Control: Nine grinding jar materials and seven ball materials enable contamination-free processing of diverse materials from ceramics to pharmaceuticals.

APPLICATION SCOPE: Laboratory ultrafine grinding and powder processing for material science research. Suitable for zirconium silicate, zirconia, alumina, ceramics, chemicals, electronic materials, magnetic materials, papermaking, coatings, non-metallic minerals, new materials, paints, graphite, calcium carbonate, and pharmaceutical fine powder production. Compatible with both continuous and batch processing modes with frequency speed control for process parameter optimization.
PACKAGING: This listing is priced for the SBM-20L main unit only. The standard configuration includes 1 pc grinding host machine. Grinding jars (4 pcs of 5 L, available materials: WC-Co, Al₂O₃, Agate, YSZ, SS, PU, Ceramic, Nylon) and grinding balls (WC-Co, Al₂O₃, Agate, YSZ, SS, IC-PU) are ordered separately. The SBM series is available from 1 L laboratory models through 600 L production units. Installation guidance and operational training support are provided upon request.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: The listed price is for the SBM-20L 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 jacketed cooling system should be connected to an appropriate cooling water supply for temperature-controlled grinding. Product particle size can be adjusted by controlling material residence time within the grinding chamber. For detailed installation, operation, and maintenance instructions, consult the user manual prior to first use.

The SBM-20L stirred ball mill requires a continuous cooling water supply to the jacketed chamber to prevent thermal degradation during extended grinding. The operator must select grinding jar and ball materials that are chemically compatible with the target material to avoid cross-contamination and equipment damage.

  • Cooling Water Supply: Connect the jacketed cooling system to a suitable water supply before starting the grinding operation.
  • Material Compatibility: Select jar and ball materials that are inert against the processed material to prevent contamination or chemical reaction.
  • Maximum Load Capacity: Do not exceed the maximum loading capacity of 7.0 L to ensure safe operation and grinding efficiency.
  • Feed Size Limit: Ensure feed material particles are ≤10 mm to avoid jamming the stirring mechanism.
  • Speed Range: Operate the mill within the speed range of 60–380 rpm to maintain safe mechanical stress on the components.

This procedure outlines the initial setup and safe operation of the SBM-20L stirred ball mill to achieve ultrafine grinding. Follow these steps to connect cooling, load media and material, and start the mill with appropriate speed settings.

Required Equipment: Cooling water supply, Grinding jar (e.g., Al₂O₃, YSZ, Agate), Grinding balls (e.g., YSZ, Al₂O₃), Frequency speed controller

  1. Connect Cooling Water
    Connect the jacketed cooling system to a continuous water supply to maintain temperature stability during grinding.
  2. Select Grinding Jar
    Select a grinding jar material that is chemically compatible with the target material to avoid cross-contamination.
  3. Load Grinding Balls
    Fill the jar with grinding balls to approximately 40% of its volume as specified in the configuration.
  4. Load Feed Material
    Load the feed material into the jar, ensuring the total volume does not exceed 7.0 L and particles are ≤10 mm.
  5. Set Speed
    Set the desired rotational speed between 60 and 380 rpm using the frequency speed controller.
  6. Start Grinding
    Start the mill and monitor the grinding process, adjusting residence time to achieve the target particle size.
  7. Unload After Grinding
    Use the automatic lifting shaft and free tilting chamber to safely unload and clean the jar after the grinding cycle.

How does the SBM-20L achieve ultrafine grinding to ≤1 μm from a 10 mm feed?

The SBM-20L uses a high-power-density stirred mill design with a 2.2 kW motor and frequency speed control (60–380 rpm) to drive small-diameter media inside a stationary chamber. This configuration delivers significantly higher grinding efficiency than conventional ball mills, enabling consistent ultrafine output ≤1 μm from feed material up to 10 mm. The jacketed cooling system maintains precise temperature control during extended runs, preventing thermal degradation and preserving product quality.

What jar and ball material options are available for the SBM-20L to avoid cross-contamination?

The SBM-20L supports nine grinding jar materials (WC-Co, Al₂O₃, Agate, YSZ, SS, PU, Ceramic, Nylon) and seven grinding ball materials (WC-Co, Al₂O₃, Agate, YSZ, SS, IC-PU). These options allow contamination-free processing of diverse materials from ceramics to pharmaceuticals. Users must select jar and ball materials compatible with their target material to avoid cross-contamination, as stated in the product documentation.

What cooling water infrastructure is required for the SBM-20L's jacketed grinding chamber?

The SBM-20L's double-walled jacketed grinding chamber must be connected to an appropriate cooling water supply to enable precise temperature control during grinding. This infrastructure is essential for dissipating heat generated by the high-power-density stirred mill design, preventing thermal degradation of temperature-sensitive materials, and ensuring consistent product quality. The user manual should be consulted for specific flow rate and connection requirements.

ATOMFAIR SBM-20L stirred ball mill delivers ultrafine grinding to ≤1 μm from ≤10 mm feed via a 2.2 kW motor with frequency speed control and jacketed cooling, but requires separate purchase of grinding jars and media and an external cooling water supply.

Positive

  • Ultrafine grinding to ≤1 μm: Achieves particle sizes ≤1 μm from feed material ≤10 mm due to high power density stirred mill design, significantly outperforming conventional ball mills.
  • Jacketed cooling for temperature control: Double-walled cooling jacket enables effective heat dissipation during extended grinding, preventing thermal degradation of temperature-sensitive materials.

Trade-offs

  • Separate jar and media procurement: Grinding jars and balls are ordered separately; users must select compatible materials from nine jar and seven ball options to avoid cross-contamination.
  • External cooling water required: The jacketed cooling system requires connection to an appropriate cooling water supply, adding infrastructure dependency for temperature-controlled grinding.
