Planetary Ball Mill (Net weight – 76 kg)

The extremely high centrifugal forces of Planetary Ball Mills result in very high pulverization energy and therefore short grinding times.

The Planetary Ball Mill (Net weight – 76 kg) can be found in virtually all industries where the quality control process places the highest demands on purity, speed, fineness and reproducibility.

FUNCTIONAL PRINCIPLE

The grinding jars are arranged eccentrically on the sun wheel of the planetary ball mill. The direction of movement of the sun wheel is opposite to that of the grinding jars in the ratio 1:-2.The grinding balls in the grinding jars are subjected to superimposed rotational movements, the so-called Coriolis forces.

The difference in speeds between the balls and grinding jars produces an interaction between frictional and impact forces, which releases high dynamic energies. The interplay between these forces produces the high and very effective degree of size reduction of the planetary ball mill.

The mill is ideally suited for tasks in research like mechanochemistry (mechano-synthesis, mechanical alloying and mechanocatalysis), or ultrafine colloidal grinding on a nanometer scale, as well as for routine tasks such as mixing and homogenizing soft, hard, brittle or fibrous materials.
