The SPBM-10A is a laboratory planetary ball mill with electrical and mechanical hazards requiring proper grounding and safety interlock usage. Maximum jar loading must not exceed two-thirds of jar volume to prevent imbalance and overflow.
- Electrical Safety: Ensure the mill is connected to a grounded 220V 50Hz single-phase supply and that the motor overload protection is functional before operation.
- Jar Loading Capacity: Do not load grinding jars beyond two-thirds of their volume to avoid material spillage, imbalance, and mechanical stress.
- Material Compatibility: Select grinding jar and ball materials that are chemically compatible with the target sample to prevent cross-contamination and unwanted reactions.
- Safety Interlock: Never operate the mill with the safety cover open or with interlock switches bypassed, as this may cause injury from rotating parts.
- Speed Regulation: Use the variable frequency drive to adjust the planetary disk speed within the 0–290 rpm range and avoid sudden acceleration or deceleration that could destabilize the jars.
This procedure describes the safe initialization and operation of the SPBM-10A planetary ball mill. Follow all steps in sequence to ensure proper grinding and avoid equipment damage or personal injury.
Required Equipment: SPBM-10A Main Unit, Grinding Jars (ordered separately), Grinding Balls (ordered separately)
- Inspect safety interlocks
Inspect the main unit and confirm all safety interlock switches are functional before operation. - Select compatible grinding media
Select grinding jars and balls made of materials compatible with the target sample to avoid cross-contamination. - Load grinding jars
Load the jars with material and grinding balls, filling no more than two-thirds of the jar volume. - Secure jars on planetary disk
Secure the jars onto the planetary disk and close the safety cover. - Set operational parameters
Set the desired rotation speed, grinding time, and forward-reverse cycle using the variable frequency drive control panel. - Start the milling process
Start the mill and monitor for any abnormal noise or vibration throughout the run. - Stop and unload
After the program completes, allow the mill to come to a full stop before opening the safety cover and removing the jars.
What is the minimum achievable particle size with the SPBM-10A lateral planetary ball mill?
The SPBM-10A can achieve a minimum output particle size down to 0.1 μm. This is enabled by its compound planetary motion with a 1:2 speed ratio between the disk (0–290 rpm) and jars (0–580 rpm), delivering high energy density for ultra-fine grinding.
Which jar materials are available for the SPBM-10A to avoid cross-contamination during grinding?
The SPBM-10A supports grinding jars made of WC-Co, Al₂O₃, Agate, YSZ, Stainless Steel, Polyurethane, Ceramic, and Nylon. The standard configuration uses four 2.5 L jars, and the jar material must be selected to match the target material to prevent cross-contamination.
What are the electrical and installation requirements for the SPBM-10A ball mill?
The SPBM-10A requires a 220V 50Hz single-phase power supply with a 1.5 kW motor. It has a net weight of 150 kg and overall dimensions of 880×560×642 mm. The unit includes safety interlock switches and motor overload protection, and should be installed on a stable surface with adequate clearance.
The SPBM-10A lateral planetary ball mill achieves sub-micron particle sizes down to 0.1 µm via high-energy compound planetary motion, with a 10 L total capacity across four 2.5 L jars, but requires separate purchase of jars and media and limits loading to two-thirds of jar volume.
Positive
- High-energy grinding to 0.1 µm: Compound planetary motion delivers high energy density, achieving minimum output particle size down to 0.1 µm, far superior to traditional grinding equipment.
- Four-sample simultaneous processing: Single run can simultaneously prepare four samples, with compatibility for vacuum grinding jars and multiple jar materials (Al₂O₃, YSZ, Agate, etc.), enabling versatile closed-environment and contamination-controlled milling.
Trade-offs
- Jars and media sold separately: The listed price covers only the main grinding unit; grinding jars and balls must be ordered separately, increasing initial procurement cost and lead time.
- Loading capacity limited to 2/3 jar volume: Maximum jar loading capacity is two-thirds of jar volume, restricting effective batch size per run and requiring careful charge calculation.
