Laboratory Ball Mill with Four Grinding Stations Providing Uniform Particle Size Reduction and Sample Mixing for Laboratory
Overview
The omnidirectional laboratory ball mill serves as an essential instrument in advanced material processing, demonstrating superior performance in milling, fine grinding, powder mixing, nano-powder synthesis, new product development, and small-batch production. Tencan's planetary ball mill is widely recognized for its streamlined design, high operational efficiency, low-noise performance, and versatile functionality. It represents an ideal solution for R&D centers, universities, and corporate laboratories requiring ultra-fine powder samples. Designed with a four-station configuration, the unit allows parallel processing of up to four different samples. Additionally, when equipped with specialized vacuum ball mill jars, the system can effectively prepare powder samples under vacuum conditions.
Working Principle
A typical omnidirectional laboratory ball mill integrates four grinding stations on a single rotating platform. As the disc turns, each milling jar rotates around its own axis while simultaneously revolving 360 degrees around the central axis of the disc. Inside the jars, grinding balls move at high velocity to effectively pulverize and homogenize the samples. The equipment supports both dry and wet processing methods, accommodating a diverse range of materials and initial particle sizes. It can achieve a final particle size as fine as 0.1 micrometers, making it suitable for applications across numerous disciplines including geology, mining, metallurgy, electronics, construction materials, ceramics, chemical engineering, light industry, pharmaceuticals, and environmental protection.
Applications
The omnidirectional laboratory ball mill has been widely adopted across multiple industrial sectors including geology, mining, metallurgy, electronics, construction materials, ceramics manufacturing, chemical engineering, light industry, pharmaceutical science, and environmental protection. It demonstrates particular suitability for specialized production fields such as electronic ceramics, structural ceramics, magnetic materials, lithium cobalt oxide, lithium manganese oxide, catalysts, phosphors, long-afterglow phosphors, rare earth polishing powders, and electronic glass powders. Additional applications include fuel cell materials, zinc oxide varistors, piezoelectric ceramics, nanomaterials, wafer ceramic capacitors, MLCC, thermistors (PTC, NTC), dielectric ceramics, alumina ceramics, zirconia ceramics, phosphor materials, zinc oxide powder, cobalt oxide powder, Ni-Zn ferrite, and Mn-Zn ferrite.
