ZOLI Planetary ball mill XQM-0.4/1/2/4/6/8/10/12/16L Laboratory material grinding

A Planetary Ball Mill is a high-energy milling machine designed for fine grinding, mixing, homogenizing, and mechanical alloying of diverse materials. The system operates on a planetary motion principle where grinding jars rotate around their own axis while simultaneously revolving around a central axis. This dual rotation generates powerful centrifugal forces, producing high-energy impacts between grinding balls and materials for ultra-fine particle sizes down to sub-micron or nano ranges.

• Dual Rotation System: Grinding jars rotate on their own axis while revolving around central axis
• High-Energy Impact: Generates Coriolis and centrifugal forces for powerful grinding action
• Counter-Directional Movement: Ensures uniform grinding efficiency

• Material Options:
  • Stainless Steel - General purpose applications
  • Agate (SiO₂) - Contamination-free grinding
  • Tungsten Carbide - Extreme hardness applications
  • Zirconia (ZrO₂) - High density impact grinding
  • Nylon/Teflon - Metal-free processing
  • Polyurethane - Chemical resistant applications
• Jar Sizes: Available in 50ml to 1L capacities to match machine specifications

• Digital Interface: LCD/LED display for parameter monitoring
• Programmable Operation: Adjustable grinding time, rotation speed (100-800 rpm)
• Run/Pause Cycles: Prevents material overheating
• Reversible Direction: Ensures uniform grinding distribution

• Safety interlock system with protective cover
• Emergency stop button for immediate shutdown
• Vibration and noise dampening technology
• Overload protection with automatic shut-off

Available configurations for vacuum jars or sealed milling chambers allow processing under inert gas atmospheres (Argon/Nitrogen) to prevent oxidation or unwanted chemical reactions in sensitive materials.

• Mechanical alloying of novel materials
• Nanomaterial synthesis (metals, ceramics, composites)
• Ultra-fine grinding of minerals, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals
• Homogeneous powder mixing
• Sample preparation for analytical techniques (XRF, XRD)
• Biological cell disruption
• Geological sample processing

• Highest energy density among comparable ball mills
• Exceptional material and application versatility
• Precision control for reproducible results
• Space-efficient laboratory design
• Scalable technology from research to production
