Description

PBM-(8-12) VERTICAL PLANETARY BALL MILL 4-JAR NANO 1.5KW

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.

Store the mill in a dry, vibration-free environment away from flammable materials. Operate only with all safety guards in place and ensure electrical supply matches rated specifications.

  • Jar Security: Always verify that grinding jars are fully tightened to prevent detachment during operation.
  • Material Compatibility: Do not process pyrophoric or explosive materials without an inert gas atmosphere.
  • Vacuum Operation: When using vacuum jars, confirm seal integrity and monitor vacuum level continuously.
  • Dust Containment: Use a fume hood or local exhaust ventilation when grinding toxic or nanoscale powders.
  • Electrical Safety: Ensure the mill is connected to a grounded outlet and inspect power cord for damage before use.

This procedure describes the safe loading, operation, and unloading of the planetary ball mill. Follow all steps in order to prevent equipment damage and personal injury.

Required Equipment: Planetary ball mill with semi-circular jars, Grinding jars (semi-circular or circular), Grinding balls (various diameters), Vacuum pump (optional, with vacuum jar kit)

  1. Setup
    Place the mill on a stable benchtop and connect to a grounded power outlet.
  2. Load Jars
    Load the required grinding balls and sample material into each jar, leaving at least one-third headspace for efficient grinding.
  3. Secure Jars
    Tighten the jar lids securely and mount each jar onto the planetary disk according to the manual.
  4. Set Parameters
    Set the rotation speed, time, and direction using the control panel to match the desired grinding protocol.
  5. Start Operation
    Press the start button and monitor the mill for any abnormal noise or vibration during operation.
  6. Stop and Unload
    After the programmed cycle ends, wait until the mill comes to a complete stop before opening the safety cover.
  7. Collect Samples
    Remove the jars carefully and discharge the ground powder into a clean container for further analysis.

What particle size can the XQM-(8-12) planetary ball mill achieve, and how does the semi-circular jar design contribute to this performance?

The XQM-(8-12) can achieve particle sizes down to 0.1 micron, as stated in the product features. The semi-circular jar design optimizes space utilization and grinding efficiency, and combined with the high-energy planetary motion (revolution + rotation), it provides the necessary energy density for ultrafine grinding.

Is the XQM-(8-12) compatible with both dry and wet grinding, and what jar materials are available for different applications?

Yes, the XQM-(8-12) supports both dry and wet grinding. It is compatible with ball milling jars made of various materials including stainless steel, ceramics, and polyurethane, allowing adaptation to different material contamination and durability requirements. The machine accepts four jars per experiment, enabling simultaneous processing of up to four samples.

What safety features does the XQM-(8-12) include to protect operators during high-energy milling?

The XQM-(8-12) is equipped with safety switches, motor overload protection, and an emergency stop function. It also complies with noise control standards and features a low-noise design. The semi-circular shell is stamped from high-precision molds for stability, and the grinding jar clamping device is designed for easy, safe operation.

The Atomfair XQM-(8-12) vertical semi-circular planetary ball mill delivers high-energy grinding down to 0.1 micron via planetary motion, with four-jar capacity and intelligent controls for repeatable nano-powder synthesis in small-batch research applications.

Positive

  • Ultra-fine grinding to 0.1 micron: The planetary motion (revolution + rotation) provides high energy density, enabling efficient grinding down to 0.1 micron particle size for nanomaterial preparation.
  • Intelligent programmable operation: Variable frequency speed regulation, timed forward/reverse rotation, and programmed operation improve experimental repeatability and user control over grinding parameters.

Trade-offs

  • Small-batch capacity only: Designed for four jars per batch, limiting throughput to small-scale sample preparation and new-product development rather than production-scale processing.
  • Requires jar material selection: Compatibility with various jar materials (stainless steel, ceramics, polyurethane) means users must select appropriate jars to avoid contamination or chemical reaction with samples.
