Description

ATOMFAIR LNPM-4C 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.

This machine requires installation on a level, vibration-dampening surface capable of supporting its 88 kg net weight. It must be connected to a properly grounded power supply matching the 0.75 kW motor rating with appropriate circuit protection.

  • Speed Limitation: Do not set the rotation speed above the maximum 960 rpm to prevent mechanical overload and hazard.
  • Jar Compatibility: Only use grinding jars with an outer diameter that fits the 100 mm holder inner diameter and that are designed for planetary ball milling.
  • Material Loading: Fill the grinding jar to no more than two-thirds of its volume to allow effective ball motion and avoid overloading.
  • Safety Guard Operation: Operate the mill only with all safety guards in place and the emergency stop button functional.
  • Post-Operation Cooling: Allow the grinding jar to cool to room temperature before opening after high-speed operation to reduce thermal shock risk.

Follow these steps to safely perform grinding using the Planetary Ball Mill. Ensure all safety checks are completed before starting.

What is the working principle of the planetary ball mill PBM-4C and how does it achieve efficient grinding?

The PBM-4C operates with a main disk that rotates, causing the four ball milling jars to revolve around the main shaft and spin simultaneously via the planetary mechanism. Grinding balls inside the jars rub and collide at high speed, generating high-energy impact and friction that efficiently grind and mix the sample.

Are grinding jars and grinding balls included with the PBM-4C main unit?

No, the listed price covers only the main machine; grinding jars and grinding balls must be ordered separately as clearly stated in the product introduction. This ensures users can select jar and ball materials specific to their application requirements.

What are the electrical and installation requirements for the PBM-4C given its 0.75 kW motor and 88 kg net weight?

The PBM-4C is powered by a 0.75 kW motor and has a net weight of 88 kg, requiring a standard electrical supply capable of handling the motor load and a sturdy, level bench or floor mount to safely support the unit during high-speed planetary motion.

PBM-4C is a 0.75kW vertical semi-circular planetary ball mill designed for laboratory-scale powder preparation, utilizing composite planetary motion for efficient grinding. The semi-circular jar geometry enhances space utilization, but the main machine does not include grinding jars or balls, and detailed performance parameters for this model are absent from the provided specifications.

Positive

  • Semi-circular jar design optimizes space: The semi-circular ball milling jar layout improves volumetric efficiency and grinding performance, making it well-suited for small-batch, high-precision experimental workflows.
  • High-energy planetary grinding action: Composite revolution and rotation of jars generates intense impact and friction between grinding balls, enabling efficient particle size reduction, mixing, and nanomaterial preparation.

Trade-offs

  • Grinding jars and balls sold separately: The quoted price covers only the main machine; compatible grinding jars and balls must be ordered separately, adding to total procurement lead time and cost.
  • Model-specific specs not listed: The accompanying parameter table does not include a row for the PBM-4C, so critical details such as jar holder diameter, rotation speed range, and dimensions require direct inquiry with the manufacturer.
