Vertical Planetary Ball Mill LPBM-B14

For aluminum materials or ceramic glazes, corundum mill jars are suitable. They provide good compatibility with alumina balls, which also have high wear resistance and corrosion resistance, making them ideal for such applications.

For soil and similar materials that are not allowed to contain any impurity, agate mill jars are the most suitable. Agate offers excellent purity and is chemically inert, making it ideal for applications in environmental testing, soil research, or any application requiring contamination-free processing.

Our Vertical Planetary Ball Mill is primarily used for fine grinding, mixing, homogenizing, and mechanical alloying of materials in research laboratories and industrial settings. It is especially effective for preparing small sample batches in powder form and is widely applied across industries like electronics, ceramics, metallurgy, chemistry, geology, pharmaceuticals, and environmental science. Its ability to finely grind even tough and fibrous materials makes it a valuable tool for high-precision material processing and experimentation.

Labtron’s Vertical Planetary Ball Mill supports vacuum operation when used with vacuum-compatible tanks, allowing for contamination-free sample processing. It supports vacuum mill jars ranging from 1 L to 2 L, however, the total volume should not exceed more than 12 L.

It is extremely versatile and can process a wide range of materials, including soft, hard, brittle, and fibrous substances. Common materials include metals, ceramics, minerals, ores, glass, polymers, biological tissues, soil, and even pharmaceuticals. Due to the high-impact energy generated, it is particularly effective for materials that are otherwise difficult to grind or homogenize with conventional methods.

Yes, our Vertical Planetary Ball Mill supports both wet and dry grinding techniques. Dry grinding is suitable for moisture-sensitive or non-water-soluble materials, while wet grinding is beneficial for achieving finer particle sizes and preventing dust. In wet grinding, liquid (usually water, alcohol, or solvent) is added to aid in dispersing and suspending the sample materials, which helps enhance grinding efficiency and cooling.

Revolution speed refers to the speed at which the turntable (the base holding the grinding tanks) rotates around its axis. Rotation speed refers to the speed at which the individual grinding tanks (or jars) rotate around their own axes while also moving around the turntable's axis (in planetary motion). Their combined effect ensures the efficient grinding and mixing of materials in the ball mill.
