PACKAGING: This listing is priced for the SPBM-6A main unit only. The standard configuration includes 1 pc grinding host machine with variable frequency drive, timing control, and forward-reverse cycle functions. Grinding jars and grinding balls are ordered separately. Installation guidance and operational training support are provided upon request.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: The listed price is for the 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 maximum jar loading capacity is two-thirds of jar volume. For detailed installation, operation, and maintenance instructions, consult the user manual prior to first use.

This equipment operates at 220V 50Hz single-phase power and must be used with a compatible electrical supply. Grinding jars and balls must be selected to avoid cross-contamination, and jar loading must not exceed two-thirds of volume to prevent mechanical imbalance.

  • Electrical Safety: Verify that the power supply matches the 220V 50Hz single-phase requirement and that the unit is properly grounded before operation.
  • Mechanical Overload Protection: The motor overload protection and safety interlock switches must remain functional and should never be bypassed.
  • Jar Loading Limit: Fill each grinding jar to no more than two-thirds of its total volume to avoid excessive stress and potential failure.
  • Material Compatibility: Select jar and ball materials that are chemically inert to the sample to prevent cross-contamination of the target material.
  • Operational Training: Consult the user manual and receive installation guidance before first use to ensure correct operation and maintenance.

What is the minimum achievable particle size when using the SPBM-6A planetary ball mill with yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) jars?

The SPBM-6A can achieve a minimum output particle size down to 0.1 μm, as stated in the product features. This is enabled by the compound planetary motion with a 1:2 speed ratio between the disk (0–335 rpm) and jars (0–670 rpm), delivering high energy density. The actual particle size depends on material properties and grinding parameters, but the mill's three-dimensional motion trajectory ensures narrow particle size distribution.

Can the SPBM-6A accommodate vacuum grinding jars for processing air-sensitive materials?

Yes, the SPBM-6A is compatible with vacuum grinding jars for closed-environment material grinding, as specified in the product introduction. This allows processing of air-sensitive or oxidation-prone samples without atmospheric contamination. The mill's standard configuration includes four 1.5 L jar positions, and vacuum jars must be ordered separately from the available materials list.

What is the recommended jar loading capacity to prevent overloading the SPBM-6A motor?

The maximum jar loading capacity is two-thirds of the jar volume, as stated in the important notice. For the SPBM-6A's 1.5 L jars, this equates to a maximum fill of approximately 1.0 L per jar. Exceeding this limit risks motor overload, which is protected by the built-in overload protection system, but adherence to the two-thirds rule ensures optimal grinding efficiency and safe operation.

The SPBM-6A lateral planetary ball mill delivers high-energy milling via compound planetary motion, achieving particle sizes down to 0.1 μm and supporting dry/wet grinding with multiple jar materials. Its 6 L total volume and four 1.5 L jars suit small-batch production, though jars and media are purchased separately and loading is limited to two-thirds jar volume.

Positive

  • High-Energy Milling to 0.1 μm: Compound planetary revolution and rotation deliver high energy density, enabling ultra-fine grinding down to 0.1 μm for advanced material preparation.
  • Versatile Jar and Mode Compatibility: Accepts multiple jar materials (Al₂O₃, YSZ, agate, WC-Co, etc.) and supports dry/wet grinding with optional vacuum jars for closed-environment processing.

Trade-offs

  • Jars and Media Sold Separately: The main unit does not include grinding jars or balls; these must be ordered separately, requiring upfront material compatibility assessment to avoid cross-contamination.
  • Maximum Jar Fill at Two-Thirds Volume: Effective batch capacity per jar is limited to two-thirds of the jar volume, reducing throughput and demanding precise volume control for reproducible milling.
