Description

PBM-16A VERTICAL SEMI-CIRCULAR PLANETARY BALL MILL 3KW

LABORATORY GRADE EQUIPMENT

Product Introduction

A planetary ball mill is a high-efficiency and precise laboratory-grade powder preparation device, mainly used for material crushing, mixing, dispersion, and nanomaterial preparation. Its core structure consists of a planetary disk, ball milling jars (semi-circular or circular), grinding balls, a drive system, and safety devices. Through the composite motion of revolution and rotation of the planetary wheels, combined with high-energy impact and friction, the equipment achieves efficient grinding of materials. The semi-circular ball milling jar design further optimizes space utilization and grinding efficiency, making it suitable for small-batch and high-precision experimental requirements. The listed price is for the main machine only; grinding jars and grinding balls must be ordered separately.

Operating Principle of Planetary Ball Mill

The main disk of the planetary ball mill is equipped with four ball milling jars. When the motor drives the main disk to rotate, the ball milling jars revolve around the main disk shaft and simultaneously rotate under the drive of the main disk’s planetary mechanism, performing planetary motion. The grinding balls inside the jars rub and collide with each other during high-speed planetary motion, enabling efficient grinding and sample mixing.

Operate the mill only on a stable, level surface with proper electrical grounding to prevent mechanical imbalance and electrical shock. Store in a dry, clean environment to avoid moisture ingress into electrical components and bearing assemblies.

  • Electrical and Mechanical Safety: Ensure the power supply matches the 3KW rating and use a dedicated circuit with overcurrent protection.
  • Vacuum Jar Handling: Inspect vacuum jar seals before each use and do not exceed the rated vacuum pressure to avoid implosion.
  • Noise and Vibration Control: Place the mill on a vibration-dampening mat and use hearing protection during operation due to high noise levels.
  • Material Compatibility: Use only grinding jars and balls compatible with the sample chemistry to avoid contamination or chemical reaction.

Perform a visual inspection of all jars, seals, and the drive mechanism before each run to ensure no damage or debris. Load the grinding jars with the sample and appropriate balls, then secure the jars tightly onto the planetary disk.

Required Equipment: Planetary ball mill, Grinding jars and balls

  1. Inspect Equipment
    Inspect the jar seals, locking mechanisms, and power cord for any damage before starting.
  2. Load Jars
    Load the sample and grinding balls into the jars, ensuring the ball-to-material ratio is appropriate for the desired fineness.
  3. Secure Jars
    Close and seal the jars tightly, then mount them securely onto the planetary disk and lock the retaining clamps.
  4. Set Parameters
    Set the desired rotation speed within the 0-510 rpm range and the running time on the control panel.
  5. Start Operation
    Press the start button and monitor the mill for unusual noise or vibration during the first few seconds of operation.
  6. Stop and Unload
    Allow the mill to come to a complete stop before opening the cover and removing the grinding jars.

How does the XQM-16A achieve nanoscale particle sizes, and what is the trade-off between grinding speed and uniformity?

The XQM-16A achieves particle sizes down to 0.1 micron through planetary motion at speeds up to 510 rpm. The variable frequency drive allows stepless speed adjustment; however, higher speeds generate more impact energy, which can reduce uniformity if not balanced with rotation speed. The precise coordination of revolution and rotation speeds ensures optimal grinding effect.

Can the XQM-16A be used for both dry and wet grinding, and what jar materials are compatible with organic solvents?

Yes, the XQM-16A supports both dry and wet grinding. It is compatible with ball milling jars made of stainless steel, ceramics, and polyurethane. For organic solvent applications, polyurethane jars offer chemical resistance, while stainless steel and ceramic jars are suitable for non-corrosive solvents.

What safety features does the XQM-16A include to prevent accidents during high-speed operation?

The XQM-16A is equipped with an emergency stop function, motor overload protection, and safety switches. It also complies with noise control standards for low-noise operation, and the semi-circular design with CNC-machined parts ensures stable and quiet high-speed running, reducing operational hazards.

The XQM-16A semi-circular planetary ball mill delivers nanoscale grinding through high-energy planetary motion, with versatility for dry, wet, and vacuum processing, but is constrained to small-batch operations suited for laboratory R&D.

Positive

  • High-Energy Planetary Motion: The composite revolution and rotation provide high energy density, significantly improving grinding efficiency over traditional equipment.
  • Multi-Mode and Material Versatility: Supports dry and wet grinding, vacuum operation with included jars, and compatibility with various jar materials for diverse applications.

Trade-offs

  • Small-Batch Capacity Limitation: Designed for small-batch and high-precision experiments, this mill is not suited for large-scale production without multiple cycles.
