Description

ATOMFAIR LNPM-12C LIQUID NITROGEN PLANETARY BALL MILL -40°C 4-STATION

RESEARCH GRADE EQUIPMENT

Product Overview

The mill 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, this system is essential for material mixing, ultrafine grinding, small-batch 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. The system operates at 220V/110V, 0.75 kW with a temperature control range from -40°C to 20°C and liquid nitrogen consumption of 4–5 L/h under 0–10°C operating conditions.The temperature control system maintains the grinding chamber within a range of -40°C to 20°C through continuous liquid nitrogen injection. Under typical 0–10°C operating conditions, liquid nitrogen consumption is approximately 4–5 L/h. The system is compatible with 30 L or 50 L liquid nitrogen storage tanks. The LNPM series spans from 1 L to 12 L total volume, with the LNPM-1C through LNPM-6C powered by 0.75 kW motors and the LNPM-8C through LNPM-12C powered by 1.5 kW motors. All models feature four grinding stations with a standard configuration including the main grinding unit; grinding jars and balls are ordered separately with multiple material options available.

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 Low Noise and High Efficiency: The small-footprint design (460 × 660 × 720 mm) with approximately 80 kg weight delivers low operating noise and high grinding efficiency, making it ideal for space-constrained research laboratories requiring dedicated cryogenic powder processing capability.

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. Grinding jars (Al₂O₃, PU, PTFE, Ceramic, SS, Nylon) and grinding balls (WC-Co, Al₂O₃, PU-Fe, Agate, YSZ, HCCI, 304SS) are ordered separately. The LNPM series is available from 1 L through 12 L models. Compatible with 30 L or 50 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 balls must be ordered separately. Liquid nitrogen storage tank (30 L or 50 L) is required for operation and ordered separately. 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.

    Refer to the user manual for detailed operational procedures.

How does the semi-circular jar design of the PBM-60 affect grinding efficiency and sample uniformity compared to conventional circular jars?

The semi-circular jar design improves space utilization and grinding efficiency by reducing dead zones and enhancing ball-to-sample contact during planetary motion. This geometry is particularly advantageous for small-batch, high-precision experiments where uniform particle size distribution is critical. The 7.5 kW motor drives the main disk at revolution diameters that generate high-energy impact and friction within the jars, though exact rotational speeds for this model are not specified in the product documentation.

What jar and ball materials are compatible with the PBM-60 for preparing contamination-sensitive nanomaterials?

Jars and balls are not included with the PBM-60 and must be ordered separately, allowing the user to select materials such as stainless steel, zirconia, or agate based on sample reactivity and contamination tolerance. The jar holder inner diameter for the PBM-60 is not explicitly listed in the technical parameters, so users should verify compatibility with the manufacturer before purchasing accessories. For sensitive materials like battery cathode precursors, using lined jars can prevent metallic cross-contamination.

What are the electrical and installation requirements for the PBM-60 planetary ball mill?

The PBM-60 requires a 7.5 kW electrical supply and should be installed on a stable, vibration-resistant surface capable of supporting its 1600×1070×1250 mm footprint and an estimated weight exceeding 200 kg based on comparable high-power models. Adequate ventilation around the unit is necessary to dissipate heat from the gearbox and motor during extended grinding runs. The net weight is not provided in the specifications, so a reinforced bench or dedicated floor mount is recommended.

The PBM-60 planetary ball mill delivers high-energy grinding via planetary motion with a semi-circular jar design for efficient space utilization, but requires separate procurement of grinding jars and balls and demands a robust electrical supply due to its 7.5 kW motor.

Positive

  • High-energy planetary grinding action: The composite revolution and rotation motion generates intense impact and friction, enabling efficient grinding down to nanoscale particle sizes for advanced materials preparation.
  • Semi-circular jar design optimizes efficiency: The semi-circular ball milling jar configuration improves space utilization and grinding efficiency, suitable for small-batch high-precision experimental requirements.

Trade-offs

  • Grinding jars and balls sold separately: The main machine does not include grinding jars or balls; these must be ordered separately, adding to initial procurement complexity and cost.
  • High power consumption at 7.5 kW: The 7.5 kW motor requires a dedicated electrical circuit and may generate significant heat, necessitating adequate ventilation and power infrastructure in the laboratory.
