Description

PBM-(8-12) LOW TEMP PLANETARY BALL MILL 5–15°C 1.5KW

LABORATORY GRADE EQUIPMENT

Product Introduction
Low temperature planetary ball mill is a combined equipment of planetary ball mill and refrigeration device. During high-speed grinding, most materials will heat up due to friction or exothermic reactions, which may alter the physical and chemical properties of materials and produce negative grinding effects. Low temperature planetary ball mill is mainly used for material grinding processes requiring strict temperature control. The listed price is for the main machine only; grinding jars and grinding balls must be ordered separately.

Operating Principle of Planetary Ball Mill
Four grinding jars are installed on the main disc of the planetary ball mill. When the motor drives the main disc to rotate, the grinding jars revolve around the main disc axis and rotate simultaneously driven by the planetary mechanism, performing planetary motion. The grinding balls inside the jars rub and collide with each other under high-speed planetary motion, enabling efficient sample grinding and mixing.

Product Application
Low temperature planetary ball mill is widely used in geology, mineral resources, metallurgy, electronics, building materials, ceramics, chemical industry, light industry, medicine, environmental protection and other fields. It is suitable for the production of electronic ceramics, structural ceramics, magnetic materials, lithium cobalt oxide, lithium manganate, catalysts, fluorescent powders, long afterglow luminescent powders, rare earth polishing powders, electronic glass powders, fuel cells, zinc oxide varistors, piezoelectric ceramics, nanomaterials, wafer ceramic capacitors, MLCC, thermistors (PTC, NTC), zinc oxide varistors, dielectric ceramics, alumina ceramics, zirconia ceramics, fluorescent powders, zinc oxide powder, cobalt oxide powder, Ni-Zn ferrites, Mn-Zn ferrites and other products.

Product Features
Low temperature planetary ball mill is a combined equipment of planetary ball mill and air cooling device. The air cooling unit adopts the air-conditioning compression refrigeration principle, and the cold air circulation quickly removes heat generated during grinding. According to ambient temperature differences, the temperature of the grinding chamber can be controlled at 5–15℃. It is mainly used for ultra-fine grinding of materials under low-temperature processes. The air cooling device features simple structure, convenient operation, easy maintenance and low energy consumption.

Grinding jars and balls must be sourced separately and are not included with the main unit. The refrigeration system must maintain the chamber temperature between 5 and 15 degrees Celsius to prevent material overheating.

  • Grinding Jar and Ball Requirement: Grinding jars and grinding balls are not included with the main machine and must be ordered separately.
  • Temperature Control Requirement: The air cooling unit must be operational to keep the chamber within the specified 5–15°C range during grinding.
  • Heat Generation Awareness: Friction and exothermic reactions during grinding can raise material temperature, requiring active cooling to maintain low-temperature conditions.

The procedure involves installing grinding jars onto the planetary disc, loading material and balls, and starting the refrigeration and motor systems. The planetary motion achieves fine grinding while the air cooling unit maintains a low-temperature environment.

Required Equipment: Planetary Ball Mill Main Machine, Grinding Jars, Grinding Balls

  1. Install Grinding Jars
    Install four grinding jars onto the main disc of the planetary ball mill.
  2. Load Material and Balls
    Fill each jar with grinding balls and the material to be ground.
  3. Activate Refrigeration
    Activate the air cooling unit to set the chamber temperature between 5 and 15 degrees Celsius.
  4. Start Motor
    Engage the motor to drive the planetary motion of the jars for grinding.

How does the cooling capacity of the low-temperature planetary ball mill affect grinding efficiency for heat-sensitive materials like lithium cobalt oxide?

The integrated air cooling system uses compression refrigeration to maintain a grinding chamber temperature of 5–15°C, enabling ultrafine grinding of heat-sensitive materials without thermal degradation. For materials such as lithium cobalt oxide and lithium manganate, this controlled temperature prevents phase changes and preserves electrochemical properties, though the added cooling load may reduce effective grinding throughput compared to ambient operation.

What are the compatibility requirements for grinding jars and balls when using the PBM-(8-12) low-temperature ball mill?

Grinding jars and balls are not included and must be ordered separately. For the PBM-12 model, the jar holder accepts jars with outer diameters of 200 mm and 300 mm. The jar and ball material must be selected based on sample compatibility (e.g., agate, zirconia, stainless steel) to avoid contamination or unwanted reactions during planetary grinding.

What electrical and space infrastructure is required for installing a 1.5 kW low-temperature planetary ball mill in a laboratory?

The PBM-12 model requires a 1.5 kW single-phase 220 V power supply and occupies a footprint of 1260×800×640 mm with a net weight of 235 kg. The air cooling unit adds additional space and requires adequate ventilation for heat exhaust from the compressor; placement in a well-ventilated area is recommended to maintain cooling performance.

This low-temperature planetary ball mill integrates an air cooling system to maintain a 5–15°C grinding chamber, making it suitable for heat-sensitive materials that require strict temperature control during ultra-fine grinding. However, buyers must note that grinding jars and balls are not included with the main unit and must be ordered separately, and the cooling performance is dependent on ambient temperature conditions.

Positive

  • Integrated air cooling for 5–15°C: The built-in air conditioning compression refrigeration system circulates cold air to rapidly remove grinding heat, enabling stable low-temperature operation without external cooling loops.
  • Broad material compatibility: Applicable to geology, metallurgy, ceramics, electronics, and battery materials (e.g., lithium cobalt oxide, catalysts, nanomaterials) where exothermic reactions or friction-induced heating must be controlled.

Trade-offs

  • Grinding jars and balls not included: The listed price covers only the main machine; appropriate grinding jars and media must be purchased separately to operate the mill, adding to initial setup cost and lead time.
  • Ambient temperature dependent cooling: The achievable grinding chamber temperature range of 5–15°C is relative to ambient conditions, meaning performance may degrade in hot environments without additional climate control in the laboratory.
