ATOMFAIR MPBM-6 TOUCHSCREEN PLANETARY BALL MILL PLC LAB GRADE

RESEARCH GRADE EQUIPMENT

Product Overview

Built upon traditional planetary ball mill architecture, the ATOMFAIR MPBM-6 Touchscreen Planetary Ball Mill — a standard research-grade PLC unit with a 0.75 kW motor, 0–670 r/min jar rotation speed, 134 mm jar holder inner diameter and Φ234 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-6 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-6 requires selection of compatible grinding jars and balls to avoid cross-contamination and equipment damage. Operation must follow the user manual for proper program execution and safety, with the PLC touchscreen providing password-protected access and automatic fault alarming.

  • Jar and Ball Compatibility: Select jar and ball materials compatible with the target material to prevent cross-contamination.
  • Grinding Mode Selection: Choose the appropriate grinding mode (dry, wet, or vacuum) based on material properties and processing requirements.
  • Power-Off Memory Retention: The system retains operational parameters after power interruption to maintain grinding protocol consistency.
  • Automatic Fault Alarm: The fault alarm system monitors operation and alerts the user to abnormal conditions during grinding.

Ensure the grinding jars and balls are properly selected and securely attached before operation. Program the desired grinding protocol via the PLC touchscreen, then monitor the process using the real-time display and fault alarm.

Required Equipment: Grinding Jar Set, Grinding Balls

  1. Consult User Manual
    Consult the user manual prior to first use for installation and operation guidance.
  2. Select Materials
    Select grinding jars and balls with materials compatible with the target material to avoid cross-contamination.
  3. Attach Jars and Add Balls
    Attach the grinding jars securely to the jar holders and fill approximately 40% of jar capacity with grinding balls.
  4. Program Parameters
    Program the grinding parameters including speed, time, direction, and mode via the PLC touchscreen interface.
  5. Initiate Grinding
    Initiate the grinding program and monitor the operation using the real-time display; the automatic fault alarm will alert if any abnormality occurs.
  6. Power Off and Retain Parameters
    Power off the system after the program completes; the parameters are retained automatically via power-off memory.

What is the maximum jar capacity that can be used with the MPBM-6, and how does the jar holder inner diameter of 134 mm constrain jar size?

The MPBM-6 has a jar holder inner diameter of 134 mm and a revolution diameter of Φ234 mm, accommodating up to four 1.5 L grinding jars per batch. The 0.75 kW motor limits the maximum jar size compared to larger MPBM models; for higher throughput, models such as the MPBM-20 (4 kW, 222 mm jar ID) or MPBM-40 (5.5 kW, 250 mm jar ID) are available in the same series.

Can the MPBM-6 be used for vacuum grinding, and what additional equipment is required?

Yes, the MPBM-6 supports vacuum grinding as one of its three grinding modes (dry, wet, vacuum). However, the standard configuration includes only the main unit and PLC touchscreen control system; vacuum-compatible grinding jars and sealing accessories must be ordered separately. Users should select jar materials (e.g., Al₂O₃, YSZ, Agate) that can withstand vacuum conditions and ensure proper sealing to maintain vacuum integrity during milling.

What safety and data integrity features does the PLC touchscreen system offer for long-duration milling protocols?

The PLC touchscreen system provides password-protected access, multi-program editing with storage and recall, real-time operation monitoring, automatic fault alarming, and power-off memory that retains operational parameters after interruption. These features enable secure, reproducible grinding protocols even during unattended or extended runs, and the bidirectional rotation control with timing functions further enhances process consistency.

The MPBM-6 is a research-grade planetary ball mill with advanced PLC touchscreen control enabling programmable, bidirectional milling with power-off memory. Note that grinding jars and media are sold separately, requiring careful material selection to avoid contamination.

Positive

  • PLC touchscreen with program management: The integrated capacitive touch PLC system supports password-protected access, multi-program editing with storage and recall, real-time operation monitoring, and automatic fault alarm, enabling reproducible and secure grinding protocols.
  • Bidirectional rotation with power-off memory: Forward and reverse rotation control with precise timing and automatic memory retention of operational parameters after power interruption ensures consistent grinding across experimental campaigns.

Trade-offs

  • Jars and media ordered separately: The main unit does not include grinding jars or balls; these must be purchased separately, increasing initial setup cost and requiring careful material compatibility selection to avoid cross-contamination.
  • Requires proper operation and material selection: The PLC control system demands adherence to the user manual for safe program execution, and jar/ball materials must be selected according to the target material to prevent cross-contamination and equipment damage.
