OPBM-16 360° ROTATING PLANETARY BALL MILL 3KW OMNIDIRECTIONAL

LABORATORY & PRODUCTION GRADE EQUIPMENT

Product Overview

The OPBM-16 is a mid-capacity laboratory and production-grade omnidirectional planetary ball mill for ultra-fine grinding and homogenization. With a 360° overturning planetary disk on its vertical planetary structure, it delivers full 360° grinding coverage inside jars to produce finer, more uniform powder and eliminates common issues of material sedimentation and wall adhesion. Powered by a 3kW drive system, it has a jar rotation speed of 0–510 rpm and a Φ320 mm jar orbit diameter, supports up to 4 simultaneous grinding jars with a 16L total maximum volume (4L per single jar), accepts feed sizes ≤3mm (≤10mm for soil) and achieves a final discharge size down to 0.1μm. It adopts gear drive with inverter stepless speed regulation, is equipped with a touchscreen control system featuring forward/reverse alternation, timing and power-off memory, and comes with a brake-locking overturn motor for safe stopping at any angle. With overall dimensions of 1530×1018×1100 mm and a net weight of 580 kg, it is widely applicable to R&D and small-batch production across multiple industries; the listed price covers the main machine only, and grinding jars and media are available for separate order.

PACKAGING: This listing is priced for the OPBM-16 main unit only. The standard configuration includes 1 pc grinding host machine with 360° overturning mechanism, gear drive transmission, and brand-name inverter speed control. Grinding jars and grinding balls are ordered separately. The OPBM series is available from 0.4 L through 100 L models. 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 overturning mechanism requires adequate clearance space around the equipment for safe 360° rotation. For detailed installation, operation, and maintenance instructions, consult the user manual prior to first use. If you have specific requirements for other OPBM models or custom configurations, please contact us at inquiry@atomfair.com.

The mill must be operated with grinding jars and balls made of materials compatible with the processed sample to prevent cross-contamination. The unit requires a minimum clearance area around the equipment to allow unobstructed 360° rotation of the overturning mechanism.

  • Jar Loading Limit: Do not exceed two-thirds of the jar volume when loading material and grinding balls.
  • Feed Size Constraint: Feed particle size must be ≤3 mm for most materials and ≤10 mm for soil.
  • Electrical Supply: Ensure the electrical supply matches the 3 kW motor power rating and inverter specifications.
  • Brake Locking: Use the brake-locking overturn motor to secure the grinding chamber at any angle before servicing.
  • User Manual Reference: Consult the user manual for detailed installation, operation, and maintenance instructions prior to first use.

Prepare the mill and select compatible grinding jars and balls for your sample material. Set the rotation speed and grinding time via the touchscreen, then start the mill and monitor the process.

Required Equipment: OPBM-16 main unit, Grinding jars and balls, Touchscreen control panel, User manual

  1. Inspect clearance

How does the 360° overturning planetary disk in the OPBM-16 improve grinding uniformity compared to conventional planetary ball mills?

The OPBM-16's 360° overturning planetary disk provides full 360° grinding coverage inside the jars, which eliminates material sedimentation and wall adhesion common in conventional mills. This results in finer and more uniform powder. The mill operates with a jar rotation speed of 0–510 rpm and a Φ320 mm jar orbit diameter, driven by a 3kW gear drive system.

Which grinding jar materials are available for the OPBM-16 to avoid cross-contamination with different sample types?

The OPBM-16 supports grinding jars made from WC-Co, Al₂O₃, Agate, YSZ, Stainless Steel, Polyurethane, Ceramic, and Nylon, each ordered separately. Selecting the appropriate jar and ball material is critical to avoid cross-contamination with your target material. The mill accepts up to four 4L jars simultaneously for a total volume of 16L.

What clearance and installation considerations are required for the OPBM-16's 360° rotation mechanism?

The OPBM-16 requires adequate clearance space around the equipment to safely perform its 360° overturning motion. The unit measures 1530×1018×1100 mm and weighs 580 kg, so the floor must support this load. The overturning motor features brake locking for safe stopping at any angle, and installation guidance is available upon request.

The OPBM-16 is a mid-capacity omnidirectional planetary ball mill with 360° overturning to prevent sedimentation, powered by a 3kW drive system supporting up to 4 jars of 4L each, achieving final particle sizes down to 0.1μm. It offers precise speed control via gear drive and touchscreen, but requires separate procurement of jars and media and adequate clearance space for its 360° rotation.

Positive

  • 360° Overturning Prevents Sedimentation: The 360° overturning planetary disk ensures full grinding coverage, eliminating material sedimentation and wall adhesion within jars.
  • Precision Control System: Gear drive with inverter stepless speed regulation and touchscreen interface enables forward/reverse alternation, timing, and power-off memory for consistent, automated operation.

Trade-offs

  • Jars and Media Ordered Separately: Grinding jars and balls must be procured separately, requiring careful material selection to avoid cross-contamination, adding to initial setup complexity.
  • Space and Weight Requirements: The unit weighs 580 kg and requires clearance around the equipment for safe 360° rotation, necessitating adequate lab or production floor space.
