FAQ:

What is a planetary ball mill?

A planetary ball mill is a high-energy grinding machine used for mixing, fine grinding, and mechanical alloying of materials. It uses planetary motion to generate high impact forces between grinding balls and materials.

What are the main applications of a planetary ball mill?

It is used for nano powder grinding, mechanical alloying, material mixing, particle size reduction, and preparing samples for research and industrial purposes.

How does a planetary ball mill work?

The grinding jars rotate around their own axis while simultaneously revolving around a central axis. This dual motion creates high-energy impacts between the grinding balls and materials. 

Can a planetary ball mill be used for wet grinding?

Yes, it supports both wet and dry grinding processes.

How do I choose the right jar and grinding media?

Select based on the material being processed and the desired outcome. For example, use zirconia jars and balls for high-purity applications.

What is the recommended filling ratio for jars?

Typically, fill the jar 1/3 to 1/2 full with grinding media and material to ensure efficient grinding.

How long does a grinding process take?

It depends on the material and desired particle size, but processes can range from a few minutes to several hours.

How do I clean the jars and grinding media?
