Vertical Planetary Ball Mill with Agate Zirconia Medium Digital Manual Control for 1μm Final Fineness

A compact, high-performance grinding system characterized by its space-saving vertical design and use of high-purity, contamination-resistant grinding materials (Agate and Zirconia). Engineered for applications where sample purity, minimal cross-contamination, and precise nano-scale grinding are paramount.

Unlike traditional planetary mills with horizontal rotation, this vertical mill features a central axis oriented vertically for enhanced performance.

• Compact Footprint: Smaller base area saves valuable bench space in crowded laboratories
• Gravity-Assisted Stability: Vertical orientation provides lower center of gravity, reducing vibration and ensuring stable operation at high speeds
• Streamlined Loading: Jars are mounted for easy access and convenient loading onto the platform

The specification of Agate and Zirconia highlights focus on ultra-high purity grinding. Selection depends on application requirements.

Practical Applications: Use Agate jars and balls for geological samples requiring precise silica content or trace lead isotope analysis. Use Zirconia jars and balls for rapidly grinding hard pharmaceutical compounds or engineering ceramics to nanoscale.

• Laboratory Small: Benchtop instrument for R&D applications with typical jar sizes from 0.1L to 2L
• Sample Capacity: Handles sample loads from a few grams to several hundred grams
• Medium Grinding Instrument: Designed specifically for use with grinding media (Agate or Zirconia balls/cylinders)

Standard Features:

• Vertical planetary disk holding 2 or 4 jars symmetrically
• Digital control system for precise RPM and time setting with programmable reversal patterns
• Safety lock with interlocking lid preventing operation while open
• Compatibility with jars made of Agate, Zirconia, Nylon, PTFE, and other materials

Workflow Example: Preparing Geological Sample for XRD

1. Crush rock sample coarsely with hammer
2. Load fragments into Agate grinding jar with Agate balls
3. Seal jar, mount on vertical mill, set to 400 RPM for 15 minutes
4. Result: Extremely fine, chemically uncontaminated powder perfect for X-ray Diffraction (XRD) or precise elemental analysis
