ATOMFAIR MPBM-40 TOUCHSCREEN PLANETARY BALL MILL PLC LAB GRADE

RESEARCH GRADE EQUIPMENT

Product Overview

Built upon traditional planetary ball mill architecture, the ATOMFAIR MPBM-40 Touchscreen Planetary Ball Mill — a research-grade PLC unit with a 5.5 kW motor, 0–390 r/min jar rotation speed, 250 mm jar holder inner diameter and Φ430 mm revolution diameter — integrates an advanced PLC touchscreen control system with capacitive touch sensitivity, delivering comprehensively upgraded operational performance for electronic ceramic magnetic material grinding and advanced powder processing. The intelligent control system supports programmable memory fault alarm monitoring with password protection, multi-program editing, storage and recall, real-time operation monitoring, and automatic fault alarming. The bidirectional rotation control with timing and power-off memory functions ensures precise and reproducible grinding protocols, and the equipment supports three grinding modes: dry grinding, wet grinding and vacuum grinding. This listing is priced for the MPBM-40 main unit only—grinding jars and grinding balls are ordered separately. The MPBM series spans from 0.2 L miniature models to 200 L production units, covering research, pilot, and full-scale production across geology, mining, metallurgy, electronics, ceramics, chemicals, and advanced materials processing.

The MPBM-40 is a research-grade planetary ball mill with a 5.5 kW motor and PLC touchscreen control. Safe operation requires adherence to the user manual, proper electrical grounding, and use of compatible grinding jars and media.

  • Electrical Safety: Ensure the unit is connected to a grounded electrical supply rated for 5.5 kW to prevent electrical hazards.
  • Mechanical Safety: Secure all grinding jars and media before operation and keep hands away from moving parts.
  • Material Compatibility: Select jar and ball materials that are chemically compatible with the target material to avoid cross-contamination.
  • Operational Limits: Do not exceed the maximum jar rotation speed of 390 r/min to prevent mechanical failure.
  • Environmental: Place the unit on a level surface capable of supporting its 656 kg weight.

Follow these steps to safely set up and operate the MPBM-40. The process includes installing jars, programming the PLC, and monitoring the grinding cycle.

Required Equipment: MPBM-40 Main Unit, Grinding Jars, Grinding Media, User Manual

  1. Position the Mill
    Position the MPBM-40 on a stable, level surface with adequate clearance for operation.
  2. Connect Power
    Connect the unit to a properly grounded electrical supply matching the 5.5 kW requirement.
  3. Install Jars and Media
    Install four compatible grinding jars and add grinding media to approximately 40% of jar capacity.
  4. Program Parameters
    Program the desired grinding parameters including speed, time, direction, and mode using the PLC touchscreen.
  5. Start Grinding
    Start the grinding cycle and monitor the real-time operation display for any fault alarms.
  6. Stop and Unload
    After completion, allow the unit to stop completely before removing jars and media.

How does the MPBM-40's 5.5 kW motor and 0–390 r/min jar speed influence its grinding performance for hard ceramic materials like alumina or zirconia?

The MPBM-40's 5.5 kW motor provides high torque at low speeds (0–390 r/min) with a revolution diameter of Φ430 mm, enabling effective grinding of hard ceramics such as Al2O3 and YSZ. The PLC control allows bidirectional rotation and programmable speed profiles to optimize impact and friction forces for brittle materials.

Which jar materials are recommended for the MPBM-40 to minimize contamination when processing electronic ceramic powders?

For electronic ceramics like MLCC or ferrites, Al2O3 (95% corundum) jars offer low abrasion and minimal alumina contamination, while YSZ (yttria-stabilized zirconia) jars provide extreme hardness and wear resistance for high-purity grinding. Agate (natural SiO2) jars are ideal for zero-metal analysis. All are available in 10L size for the MPBM-40.

Does the MPBM-40 support vacuum grinding, and what infrastructure is required for operation?

Yes, the MPBM-40 supports vacuum grinding mode in addition to dry and wet grinding. The unit requires a 5.5 kW power supply, weighs 656 kg, and measures 1400×880×1070 mm, necessitating a reinforced floor and adequate ventilation. Vacuum grinding requires compatible vacuum-tight jars (e.g., SS or PU with seals) ordered separately.

The MPBM-40 is a research-grade planetary ball mill with 5.5 kW motor and PLC touchscreen control supporting dry, wet, and vacuum grinding modes. Its bidirectional rotation with power-off memory ensures reproducible protocols, but jars and media must be ordered separately, and the 656 kg unit requires substantial floor space and electrical infrastructure.

Positive

  • PLC touchscreen with program management: Capacitive touch PLC system with password protection, multi-program editing, storage, recall, real-time monitoring, and automatic fault alarm ensures reproducible grinding protocols and enhanced process security.
  • Bidirectional rotation with power-off memory: Forward/reverse rotation control with precise timing and automatic retention of operational parameters after power interruption maintains consistent grinding conditions across experimental campaigns.

Trade-offs

  • Separate jar and media purchase required: Grinding jars and balls are not included with the main unit; they must be ordered separately with careful material compatibility selection to avoid cross-contamination.
  • Heavy unit requires robust infrastructure: At 656 kg net weight and 1400×880×1070 mm dimensions, the MPBM-40 demands a reinforced floor, adequate space, and appropriate electrical supply for the 5.5 kW motor.
