Supporting Products
We also supply various grinding balls: stainless steel balls, zirconia balls, alumina balls, PU balls, cemented carbide balls, tungsten balls, agate balls, silicon nitride balls, high wear-resistant steel balls, manganese steel balls, nylon balls, glass balls and other special metal material balls.
We also provide grinding jars of various materials: agate, alumina corundum ceramics, zirconia ceramics, silicon nitride ceramics, silicon carbide ceramics, stainless steel, wear-resistant steel, manganese steel, nylon, polyurethane, cemented carbide, crystal glass, etc.
The mill's fault alarm and process monitoring systems must be actively monitored during operation. The equipment should be operated within its mechanical and electrical design limits as defined by the manufacturer.
- Jar Base Compatibility: Use only grinding jars with a base diameter that matches the 80 mm jar base to ensure proper seating and balance.
- Weight and Stability: Place the mill on a sturdy, level surface capable of supporting its 34 kg net weight to prevent tipping during operation.
This planetary ball mill enables controlled grinding through programmable rotation and real-time monitoring. The touch screen interface allows precise setting of speed, time, and program sequences.
Required Equipment: Atomfair XQM-0.4A planetary ball mill, Grinding jars (80 mm base diameter)
- Secure grinding jars
Position the grinding jars onto the jar base and secure them with the clamping mechanism to prevent movement during rotation. - Set operating parameters
Use the touch screen to set the desired rotation speed and run time, or select a pre-stored program from the multi-program memory. - Start grinding cycle
Initiate the program using the touch screen start button and monitor the real-time status display for any fault alarms or process deviations. - Allow completion and cool down
Allow the program to complete and let the mill come to a stop before handling the jars to avoid thermal injury. - Remove ground material
Disengage the jar clamps and carefully remove the jars to collect the ground material following safe handling practices.
How does the XQM-0.4A's jar rotation speed of 0-870 rpm affect its suitability for high-energy ball milling of brittle materials compared to higher-speed mini models?
The XQM-0.4A operates at a maximum jar rotation speed of 870 rpm, which is lower than the 1160 rpm of the mini type models like XQM-0.2. However, its 250W motor and semi-circular design provide sufficient energy for grinding hard, brittle materials such as tungsten carbide or silicon nitride, balancing throughput with reduced mechanical stress on the mill components.
What jar and ball materials are available for the XQM-0.4A to process lithium cobalt oxide and other electrode materials without contamination?
For battery materials like lithium cobalt oxide, the XQM-0.4A is compatible with zirconia, alumina, or agate jars and matching grinding balls to prevent metal contamination. The description explicitly lists zirconia ceramics, alumina corundum ceramics, agate, and other non-metallic jar materials, along with corresponding ball options such as zirconia and alumina balls.
Does the XQM-0.4A include any safety monitoring or alarm systems to prevent operational faults during unattended grinding runs?
Yes, the microcomputer control system includes process monitoring and fault alarm functions, as specified in the product features. The touch screen PLC integrated machine also provides real-time equipment status monitoring, enabling safe unattended operation with automatic shutdown upon fault detection.
The XQM-0.4A semi-circular planetary ball mill integrates a touch-screen PLC with multi-program storage and real-time monitoring, enabling precise automated grinding. However, its 80 mm jar base inner diameter and 250 W motor power constrain maximum sample volume and energy input for hard materials.
Positive
- Multi-program touch screen control: The microcomputer-controlled touch screen allows storage and recall of multiple grinding programs with forward/reverse rotation, timing, and power-off memory, enabling reproducible automated processing.
- Real-time monitoring and fault alarm: Process monitoring and fault alarm functions provide immediate operational feedback, enhancing system reliability and enabling rapid intervention during grinding runs.
Trade-offs
- Limited jar base diameter: The jar base inner diameter of 80 mm restricts the maximum size of grinding jars, thereby limiting the sample volume that can be processed per batch.
- Moderate motor power output: With a 250 W motor, the mill may lack sufficient high-energy input for efficient grinding of very hard or tough materials, potentially increasing processing time.
