ATOMFAIR MPBM-(8-12)A TOUCHSCREEN PLANETARY BALL MILL PLC LAB GRADE

RESEARCH GRADE EQUIPMENT

Product Overview

Built upon traditional planetary ball mill architecture, the ATOMFAIR MPBM-(8-12)A Touchscreen Planetary Ball Mill — a semi-circular research-grade PLC unit with a 1.5 kW motor, 0–580 r/min jar rotation speed, 162 mm jar holder inner diameter and Φ275 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-(8-12)A 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.

Positive

  • PLC Touchscreen with Program Management: Integrated capacitive touch PLC system with password protection, multi-program editing, storage, recall, real-time monitoring, and automatic fault alarm ensures reproducible and secure grinding protocols.
  • Bidirectional Rotation with Power-Off Memory: Forward/reverse rotation control with timing and power-off memory retention maintains consistent grinding parameters across experimental campaigns, even after power interruptions.

Trade-offs

  • Separate Purchase of Consumables Required: Grinding jars and balls are ordered separately, adding initial cost and requiring careful material selection to avoid cross-contamination with the target sample.
  • Requires Proper Operator Training: The PLC touchscreen control system must be operated according to the user manual to ensure proper program execution and equipment safety, necessitating user training.
