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 procedure describes the safe initialization and operation of the planetary ball mill using its touch screen control system. Proper installation of grinding jars and balls is required before use.

Required Equipment: PBM-(8-12) Microcomputer Planetary Ball Mill

  1. Install Grinding Jars
    Install the selected grinding jars and grinding balls onto the mill platform and ensure they are securely fastened.
  2. Set Rotation Parameters
    Set the desired rotation speed and run time via the touch screen interface.
  3. Select Direction and Program
    Select the rotation direction (forward or reverse) and any programmed cycles using the touch screen.
  4. Start Milling
    Press the start button to commence the milling process and monitor the status on the display.
  5. Retrieve Sample
    After the program completes, stop the mill and unload the jars for sample retrieval.

How does the maximum jar rotation speed differ between the PBM-8, PBM-10, and PBM-12 models, and what does that mean for milling different sample volumes?

The maximum rotation speed decreases as the jar base diameter increases: PBM-8 achieves 620 rpm with a 134 mm diameter jar base, while PBM-10 and PBM-12 operate at 580 rpm with 150 mm and 175 mm bases, respectively. All models share a 1.5 kW motor, so the trade-off is that larger jars accommodate greater sample volumes but at a slightly reduced rotational speed, which may lower impact energy for harder materials.

Can the PBM-(8-12) be retrofitted for operation inside a glove box to process air-sensitive materials?

The standard PBM-(8-12) is not designed for glove box operation; the manufacturer offers a dedicated mini glove box type model (PBM-0.2S) for small-scale air-sensitive milling. For larger capacities, custom integration would be required and is not supported by the standard unit. Grinding jars and balls are ordered separately, allowing material choice for compatibility, but the main machine itself is not sealed for inert atmosphere.

What are the minimum lab bench dimensions and electrical specifications needed to safely operate the PBM-12 model?

The PBM-12 requires a level bench space of at least 1350×770 mm to accommodate its overall footprint of 1350×770×920 mm and a net weight of 250 kg. It needs a 1.5 kW, single-phase electrical supply (voltage not specified, but typical lab power). The touch screen control includes fault alarm and over-temperature protection, but no additional ventilation or water cooling is mentioned for the standard unit.

The PBM-(8-12) planetary ball mill offers advanced touch-screen PLC control with programmable operation and fault monitoring, suitable for a wide range of material processing applications. However, buyers must separately procure grinding jars and balls, and the system is designed for laboratory-scale use.

Positive

  • Touch screen PLC control with advanced features: Equipped with a branded PLC system supporting password setting, free programming, multi-program storage, process monitoring, and fault alarm, enabling precise and user-friendly operation.
  • Broad application across industries: Applicable to geology, minerals, electronics, ceramics, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and other fields, specifically for processing materials such as lithium cobalt oxide, catalysts, rare earth powders, and nanomaterials.

Trade-offs

  • Grinding jars and balls sold separately: The listed price covers only the main machine; users must purchase compatible grinding jars and balls independently to perform milling operations.
  • Designed for laboratory-scale processing: Explicitly marked as laboratory grade equipment, indicating the mill is optimized for small-batch, R&D-scale work rather than continuous production.

Every advanced material, component, equipment, and instrument in our catalog is backed by rigorous testing. We maintain strict internal quality management frameworks and align with CE conformity metrics to deliver transparent, reproducible performance data via our public open-science repository.
