Key Features & Advantages

  • PLC Touchscreen Control with Program Management: The integrated capacitive touch PLC system supports password-protected access, multi-program editing with storage and recall capability, real-time operation monitoring, and automatic fault alarm for enhanced process security and reproducibility.
  • Bidirectional Rotation with Timing and Power-Off Memory: The control system supports forward and reverse rotation control, precise timing functions, and automatic memory retention of operational parameters after power interruption, ensuring consistent grinding protocols across experimental campaigns.
  • Comprehensive Model Range from 0.2L Mini to 200L Production Scale: Thirteen models spanning miniature glovebox-compatible units (MPBM-0.2S) through standard and semi-circular configurations to high-capacity production systems (MPBM-200) accommodate the complete spectrum from fundamental research to industrial production.
  • Multiple Jar and Ball Material Options for Contamination Control: Six grinding jar materials (Al₂O₃, PU, PTFE, Ceramic, SS, Nylon) and seven ball materials (WC-Co, Al₂O₃, PU-Fe, Agate, YSZ, HCCI, 304SS) enable contamination-free processing across diverse material systems from electronic ceramics to pharmaceutical compounds.

APPLICATION SCOPE: Widely used in geology, mining, metallurgy, electronics, building materials, ceramics, chemical engineering, light industry, pharmaceuticals, and environmental protection. 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, electronic glass powders, fuel cells, zinc oxide varistors, piezoelectric ceramics, nanomaterials, multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCC), thermistors (PTC, NTC), dielectric ceramics, alumina ceramics, zirconia ceramics, zinc oxide powders, cobalt oxide powders, nickel-zinc ferrites, and manganese-zinc ferrites.
PACKAGING: This listing is priced for the MPBM-200 main unit only. The standard configuration includes 1 pc grinding host machine and the PLC touchscreen control system with program editing, data storage, operation monitoring, and fault alarm functions. Grinding jars (Al₂O₃, PU, PTFE, Ceramic, SS, Nylon) and grinding balls (WC-Co, Al₂O₃, PU-Fe, Agate, YSZ, 304SS) are ordered separately. The MPBM series is available from 0.2 L miniature models through 200 L production units. 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. Select jar and ball materials compatible with your target material to avoid cross-contamination. The PLC touchscreen control system should be operated according to the user manual to ensure proper program execution and equipment safety. For detailed installation, operation, and maintenance instructions, consult the user manual prior to first use. If you have specific requirements for other MPBM models or custom control system configurations, please contact us at inquiry@atomfair.com.

This equipment requires proper electrical grounding and operation on a stable, level surface. Grinding jars must be securely fastened and balanced before each use.

  • Electrical Supply: Match the power supply voltage and frequency to the equipment specifications.
  • Mechanical Balance: Ensure that the jar and ball load are symmetrically distributed to avoid vibration.
  • Jar Compatibility: Use only jars and grinding balls rated for the intended material hardness and volume.
  • Environmental Conditions: Operate within a clean, dry environment free of flammable dust or vapors.

Set grinding parameters via the touch screen interface before loading jars. Initiate the milling cycle after securing the lids and ensuring proper balance.

Required Equipment: Grinding jar set (ordered separately), Grinding ball set (ordered separately), Touch screen control panel

  1. Load Jars
    Select and mount the appropriate grinding jar with the required grinding balls and material charge.
  2. Set Parameters
    Set rotation speed, direction, and milling duration using the touch screen interface.
  3. Start Milling
    Secure the jar lids completely and press the start button to begin the milling cycle.

Given the PBM-20's maximum jar rotation speed of 450 rpm and 4 kW motor, can it effectively grind materials to nanoscale for applications like nanomaterials and catalysts?

Yes, the PBM-20 can achieve nanoscale grinding as it is specifically designed for nanomaterials, fluorescent powders, and catalysts. The 450 rpm jar speed, 4 kW motor, and 524 mm orbiting diameter generate sufficient impact energy for nanoscale comminution.

Are grinding jars and balls included with the PBM-20, and what are the key considerations for selecting them for sensitive materials?

Grinding jars and balls are not included and must be ordered separately. For sensitive materials like electronic glass powders or rare earth polishing powders, users should choose contamination-free jar and ball materials (e.g., agate or zirconia) to avoid introducing impurities.

What are the electrical and spatial requirements for installing the PBM-20 in a laboratory?

The PBM-20 requires a 4 kW electrical supply and measures 1310×820×720 mm with a net weight of 500 kg. It should be placed on a stable, reinforced surface with sufficient space for ventilation and access to the touch screen controls, which include power-off memory and fault alarm for safe operation.

The PBM-20 planetary ball mill integrates a microcomputer touch screen control system with programmable features for precise grinding of advanced materials, but requires separate purchase of grinding jars and balls and a robust electrical supply due to its 4 kW motor.

Positive

  • Advanced touch screen control system: The PLC-integrated touch screen allows password protection, programmable milling sequences, process monitoring, and fault alarm, enabling precise and reproducible grinding protocols.
  • Broad material processing versatility: Designed for industries including ceramics, batteries, catalysts, and nanomaterials, the mill can handle a wide range of advanced materials from lithium cobalt oxide to piezoelectric ceramics.

Trade-offs

  • Consumables not included: Grinding jars and grinding balls are sold separately and must be ordered to operate the mill, increasing initial setup cost and lead time.
  • High power consumption requirement: With a motor power of 4 kW, the mill demands a dedicated power supply and may require electrical infrastructure upgrades in standard laboratories.
