Stirred Ball Mill LSBM-A10

Particle size can be controlled by adjusting the grinding time and the milling speed. These settings provide precise control over the final granularity. Our Stirred Ball Mill is capable of output granularity of ? 1µm which ensures a fine particle size. Also the grinding media should be selected appropriately to achieve a desired particle size.

Yes, Labtron’s Stirred Ball Mill comes with an optional feature of Water cooling jacket that allows temperature control, making it suitable for milling heat-sensitive materials. Users can buy this optional accessory to make their mill suitable for various temperature-sensitive operations.

Grinding media are available in different materials, each chosen based on their hardness, resistance properties, and application suitability. Zirconia balls, with a Mohs hardness greater than 9.0, are extremely wear-resistant, chemically inert, and capable of withstanding high temperatures and corrosion. They are best used with zirconia, PTFE, nylon, corundum, PU, and tungsten carbide jars, making them suitable for high-purity applications such as advanced ceramics and pharmaceuticals. Stainless steel balls, with a hardness above 6.0, offer good wear and corrosion resistance and are ideal for general-purpose milling of metallic or abrasive materials when paired with stainless steel jars.

Stirred ball mills provide key advantages over traditional ball mills, including the ability to achieve much finer particle sizes, often reaching the sub-micron or nanometer range. They are more energy-efficient, as the localized stirring action transfers energy directly to the grinding media. These mills also offer faster processing times, a compact design ideal for lab use, and easier scalability from research to production.

The size, shape and matching ratio of the grind media can affect the grinding result. Generally speaking, the bigger the mill media is, the finer the grinding powder is. A proper match ratio of grind media and proper adjustment of rotation speed can get better grinding effect.
