Description

ATOMFAIR PBM-(8-12) PLANETARY BALL MILL 4 JARS 1.5KW

LABORATORY GRADE EQUIPMENT

Product Overview

The ATOMFAIR PBM-(8-12) Planetary Ball Mill is a laboratory-grade grinding equipment designed for soil heavy metal analysis and advanced material research. Featuring PBM-(8-12) 1.5KW 4-jar configuration with a 162 mm jar holder inner diameter and Φ275 mm revolution diameter, this standard type mill delivers jar rotation speeds up to 580 r/min. The grinding jars revolve around the turntable axis while rotating reversely around their own axes, generating high-speed collision and friction forces that pulverize samples from ≤10 mm feed size down to ultrafine 0.1 μm discharge particles. The sealing pressure of the grinding jars is adjustable via a graduated scale. Purpose-built for soil heavy metal analysis and environmental testing, this machine supports dry grinding, wet grinding, and vacuum grinding modes. Two or four grinding jars can operate simultaneously. With stepless speed regulation, automatic timing for forward/reverse rotation, and up to 48 hours continuous full-load operation, the PBM-(8-12) ensures reproducible sample preparation for research and quality control laboratories. Grinding jars and grinding balls are ordered separately. The PBM series spans from 0.2 L mini models to 200 L production units. For accessory quotations, please contact inquiry@atomfair.com.

Working Principle

This machine is used for heavy metal analysis in soil, equipped with 4 grinding jars. The sealing pressure of the grinding jars is set by a graduated scale. The jars revolve around the turntable axis and rotate reversely around their own axes at the same time. Samples in the jars collide and rub against each other during high-speed movement, so as to crush, grind, mix and disperse samples. It can be used for dry grinding, wet grinding and vacuum grinding. Two or four grinding jars can operate at the same time.

Key Features & Advantages

  • High-Energy Planetary Motion for Ultrafine Grinding: Jars revolve around turntable axis while rotating reversely around own axes at up to 580 r/min, delivering intense collision and friction forces for ultrafine grinding down to 0.1 μm from ≤10 mm feed size.
  • Versatile Jar Capacity Options (2L or 3L): The PBM-(8-12) accommodates either 2L or 3L grinding jars, providing flexible batch processing capacity for diverse research and pilot production requirements.
  • Complete Soil Analysis System with Integrated Screener: Includes electric screener with up to 7 layers of sieves (20–200 mesh, 20 μm) and digital display, providing a comprehensive soil grinding and screening solution from sample preparation to particle size analysis.
  • Precision Sealing Control and Extended Operation: Grinding jar sealing pressure adjustable via graduated scale ensures sample integrity and prevents cross-contamination. Frequency conversion motor with stepless speed regulation, automatic timing for forward/reverse rotation, and 48-hour full-load continuous working capacity.

The mill requires proper jar sealing pressure adjustment via graduated scale to prevent leakage during high-speed operation. For soil heavy metal analysis, use agate or Al₂O₃ jars with agate or YSZ balls to minimize elemental interference.

  • Jar Sealing Pressure: Adjust sealing pressure using the graduated scale to ensure sample integrity and prevent cross-contamination during grinding.
  • Jar and Ball Material Compatibility: Select jar materials from WC-Co, Al₂O₃, Agate, YSZ, SS, PU, Ceramic, or Nylon and ball materials from WC-Co, Al₂O₃, Agate, YSZ, SS, or IC-PU based on sample type and contamination requirements.
  • Recommended Configuration for Soil Analysis: For soil heavy metal analysis with minimal elemental interference, use agate or Al₂O₃ jars paired with agate or YSZ grinding balls.
  • Grinding Mode Selection: Choose dry grinding, wet grinding, or vacuum grinding mode according to sample properties and desired outcome.

This procedure describes safe initialization and operation of the planetary ball mill for sample grinding. Follow these steps to prepare the mill, load samples, and run the grinding cycle.

Required Equipment: Grinding jars (ordered separately), Grinding balls (ordered separately), Electric screener (included), Round frame sieves set (included)

  1. Select Jar Configuration
    Select appropriate grinding jar material and capacity (2L or 3L) based on sample type and required purity.
  2. Load Grinding Balls
    Load grinding balls into each jar to approximately 40% of jar capacity.
  3. Add Sample Material
    Add sample material into the jars ensuring feed size does not exceed 10 mm for soil or 3 mm for other materials.
  4. Seal Jars
    Seal each jar and adjust the sealing pressure using the graduated scale to prevent leakage during operation.
  5. Install Jars in Mill
    Place the sealed jars into the mill holders and secure them in position.
  6. Set Grinding Parameters
    Set desired rotation speed and grinding time using the stepless speed regulation and automatic timing controls.
  7. Start Grinding Cycle
    Start the mill and monitor operation; after completion unload jars and optionally use the electric screener for particle size classification.

What feed particle size can the PBM-(8-12) planetary ball mill accept, and what is the achievable final particle size for soil samples?

The PBM-(8-12) accepts feed particles ≤10 mm for soil samples and ≤3 mm for other materials, and can achieve a discharge particle size as fine as 0.1 μm. These specifications are from the technical overview and the soil grinding machine specifications.

Which grinding jar and ball materials are recommended for soil heavy metal analysis to minimize contamination, and are they included with the mill?

For soil heavy metal analysis, agate or Al₂O₃ jars with agate or YSZ grinding balls are recommended to minimize elemental interference. Grinding jars and balls are ordered separately; the main unit includes only the grinding host, electric screener, and sieve set. This is stated in the 'IMPORTANT NOTICE' and 'APPLICATION SCOPE' sections.

What are the electrical power requirements and continuous operation duration for the PBM-(8-12) planetary ball mill system?

The system operates on 220V AC power, with the ball mill motor rated at 1.5KW and the included electric screener motor at 0.75KW. The mill supports continuous full-load operation for up to 48 hours with stepless speed regulation and automatic timing.

The Atomfair PBM-(8-12) planetary ball mill provides high-energy grinding down to 0.1 μm with a 4-jar configuration and integrated electric screener, but requires separate purchase of jars and balls and careful material selection to avoid contamination in trace analysis.

Positive

  • Ultrafine Grinding to 0.1 μm: High-energy planetary motion with jar rotation up to 580 r/min reduces ≤10 mm feed material to 0.1 μm particles, enabling reproducible sample preparation for soil heavy metal analysis and advanced material research.
  • Flexible Jar Material and Size Options: Supports 2L or 3L grinding jars in multiple materials (Al₂O₃, agate, YSZ, etc.) to match sample chemistry, with adjustable sealing pressure and compatibility with dry, wet, and vacuum grinding modes.

Trade-offs

  • Jars and Balls Ordered Separately: Grinding jars and balls are not included with the main unit, requiring additional purchasing and lead time; total cost increases with necessary consumables.
  • Material Selection Critical for Trace Analysis: For soil heavy metal analysis, agate or Al₂O₃ jars with matching balls are recommended to minimize elemental contamination, demanding user expertise in material compatibility and pre-grinding decisions.
