A portable mini planetary ball mill machine is a compact, versatile grinding device used for mixing, homogenizing, and fine grinding of materials in laboratories, small-scale production, or fieldwork. Here’s a detailed overview:
Key Features:
1. Compact & Portable
– Lightweight and small in size (typically bench-top models).
– Easy to transport for on-site research or industrial applications.
2. Planetary Motion Mechanism
– Uses rotating jars (usually 2 or 4) around a central axis while spinning in the opposite direction for high-energy impact grinding.
3. Variable Speed Control
– Adjustable rotation speed (e.g., 100–800 RPM) for different material requirements.
4. Multiple Jar Options
– Compatible with jars made of stainless steel, agate, zirconia, or nylon (depending on application).
– Typical jar volumes: 50mL–500mL.
5. Applications
– Nanomaterial preparation (e.g., graphene, metal oxides).
– Mechanical alloying and powder mixing.
– Pharmaceutical research, ceramics, and battery materials.
6. Power & Voltage
– Usually operates on standard AC power (110V/220V) or may have battery options for field use.
7. Safety Features
– Overload protection, automatic shut-off, and secure lid locks to prevent spills during operation.
Advantages:
✅ High grinding efficiency due to centrifugal forces.
✅ Suitable for dry and wet grinding modes.
✅ Low noise compared to traditional ball mills.
Popular Models/Brands:
– Retsch PM 100 / PM 200 CM (high-end lab models).
– Across International PQ-N04 (affordable benchtop version).
– Tencan XQM-0.4A (budget-friendly mini planetary mill).
Considerations Before Buying:
✔ Required grinding fineness (nanoscale or micron-level).
✔ Material compatibility (corrosion-resistant jars needed for certain chemicals).
✔ Budget (prices range from $1,000–$10,000+ depending on features).
