Pharmaceutical applications including drug mixing, cell disruption, and biological sample pretreatment. Ceramic and glass industries for raw material uniform dispersion and ceramic slurry preparation. Electronics and metallurgy fields for metal powders, semiconductor materials, and magnetic material fine grinding. Environmental and agricultural sectors for soil/geological sample testing, solid waste treatment, and agricultural product quality inspection. Supports both dry and wet grinding processes.
PACKAGING: This listing is priced for the SPBM-0.4A main unit only.

Grinding jars (Al₂O₃, PU, PTFE, Ceramic, SS, Nylon) and grinding balls (WC-Co, Al₂O₃, PU-Fe, Agate, YSZ, HCCI, 304SS) are ordered separately. Vacuum grinding jars are available as optional accessories. The SPBM-A series is available from 0.4 L through 16 L models. Installation guidance and operational training support are provided upon request.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: The listed price is for the SPBM-0.4A 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 safety lock switch must be engaged before operation. For vacuum grinding, ensure proper vacuum jar sealing before initiating the grinding cycle. Operating noise is 58 ± 5 dB.

This equipment features high-speed rotating components that pose mechanical and electrical hazards if improperly used. Operators must follow grounding, containment, and clearance protocols to prevent injury or equipment damage.

  • Electrical Grounding Requirement: Connect the mill to a grounded power outlet to mitigate risk of electrical shock from the 1.5 kW motor.
  • Grinding Jar Securing Procedure: Verify that each grinding jar is locked in its holder before starting the mill to prevent ejection during high-speed rotation.
  • Personal Protective Equipment: Wear safety glasses and hearing protection during operation to guard against flying debris and high noise levels.
  • Clearance and Ventilation: Maintain adequate clearance around the mill and operate in a well-ventilated area to avoid dust accumulation and overheating.

This procedure covers the safe installation and operation of the planetary ball mill for grinding powder samples. Follow each step to mount grinding jars, load material, and run the milling cycle.

Required Equipment: Planetary Ball Mill Main Machine (PBM-(8-12)A), Semi-Circular Grinding Jars (ordered separately), Grinding Balls (ordered separately)

  1. Mount Grinding Jars
    Attach the semi-circular grinding jars onto the planetary disk holders and lock them securely using the built-in clamping mechanism.
  2. Add Grinding Balls and Material
    Place the appropriate quantity of grinding balls and the sample material into each jar, filling no more than two-thirds of the jar volume.
  3. Seal the Jars
    Tighten the jar lids completely to create a dust-tight seal and prevent leakage during planetary motion.
  4. Set Operating Speed
    Adjust the speed control knob to the desired rotation speed based on the material type and jar size.
  5. Start the Milling Cycle
    Press the start button to begin the combined revolution and rotation motion, and allow the mill to run for the programmed duration.
  6. Monitor Operation
    Observe the mill for unusual noise or vibration and stop immediately if any abnormality is detected.
  7. Stop and Cool Down
    Press the stop button when the cycle is complete and allow the jars to cool before opening to prevent thermal shock or material ejection.

What is the maximum grinding jar capacity and speed trade-off for the PBM-(8-12)A compared to smaller semi-circular models?

The PBM-(8-12)A operates at a maximum grinding jar rotation speed of 580 rpm with a jar holder inner diameter of 162 mm and a revolution diameter of Φ275 mm, driven by a 1.5 kW motor. This represents a deliberate trade-off: lower rotational speed than the PBM-0.4A (870 rpm) or PBM-0.2 (1160 rpm) in exchange for significantly larger jar capacity and higher torque, enabling processing of larger sample volumes at the cost of reduced maximum impact energy per unit mass.

Can the PBM-(8-12)A be integrated with existing glove box systems for air-sensitive material processing?

The PBM-(8-12)A is a standard semi-circular type planetary ball mill and is not explicitly designed as a glove box compatible model. For air-sensitive applications requiring inert atmosphere processing, the PBM-0.2S micro glove box type is the only model in the series specifically configured for glove box integration, with a separate control box and reduced dimensions. The PBM-(8-12)A's larger footprint (900×600×640 mm) and 168 kg net weight would require custom enclosure modifications for inert atmosphere use.

What are the infrastructure requirements for installing and operating the PBM-(8-12)A in a laboratory setting?

The PBM-(8-12)A requires a dedicated 1.5 kW electrical supply and a stable benchtop or floor area of at least 900×600 mm to accommodate its dimensions, with additional clearance for ventilation and jar access. At 168 kg net weight, the supporting surface must be rated for heavy equipment, and the unit should be placed on a vibration-dampening pad to isolate the high-energy planetary motion from sensitive instruments. Grinding jars and balls are not included and must be ordered separately, requiring pre-purchase specification of jar material compatible with the intended sample chemistry.

The PBM-(8-12)A planetary ball mill delivers high-energy planetary milling with a 1.5 kW motor and semi-circular jar design, enhancing grinding efficiency and space utilization for small-batch nanomaterial synthesis; however, the 168 kg unit requires robust bench support, and grinding jars/balls must be purchased separately.

Positive

  • High-energy planetary action for nanomaterials: The composite revolution-rotation motion generates high-energy impact and friction, enabling efficient crushing, mixing, dispersion, and nanomaterial preparation with precise laboratory-grade control.
  • Semi-circular jar optimizes space and efficiency: The semi-circular ball milling jar design improves space utilization and grinding efficiency, making the unit particularly suitable for small-batch, high-precision experimental requirements.

Trade-offs

  • Grinding jars and balls sold separately: The listed price covers the main machine only; grinding jars and grinding balls must be ordered separately, requiring additional procurement and compatibility validation before operation.
  • Heavy 168 kg unit demands robust support: With a net weight of 168 kg, the mill requires a sturdy laboratory bench or floor reinforcement and is not easily relocated, imposing infrastructure constraints in typical lab settings.
