Omnidirectional Planetary Ball Mill

Overview

An omnidirectional planetary mill that adds a tumbling motion to the revolving disc and rotating jars. It is intended for laboratory work where sample movement, settling or adhesion needs closer attention.

How it works

Planetary milling continues while the assembly changes orientation through a 360° tumbling motion. This changes the direction of gravity relative to the jar contents; it does not guarantee that every material will remain dispersed.

Key features

• Published laboratory QXQM models range from 0.4 L to 12 L nominal capacity.
• The tables list four jar positions, compatible jar sizes and model-specific speed, power and mass.
• The product information offers conventional or touchscreen/PLC control arrangements, subject to the supplied configuration.

Specifications

Published catalog references are reproduced below. Nominal volume is not a sample-mass rating. Confirm the selected model, material grade, electrical supply and complete supplied configuration in the quotation.

Applications

Powder mixing, materials research and trials involving samples that settle, cake or adhere during conventional planetary milling.

Suitability depends on the actual sample, process and analytical requirements; a listed application is not a guaranteed final-particle-size result.

Accessories and options

Discuss compatible jars, media, vacuum arrangements and the control interface. Cooling and other assistance need to be specified for the chosen QXQM model.

• Jar and media: confirm material, volume, holder fit and the complete working load.
• Vacuum or gas requirements: specify the complete jar, lid and seal arrangement; no pressure rating is assumed.
• Utilities and supply scope: state voltage, frequency, phase, destination and required documents; confirm included versus optional items.

Selection guidance

Consider the sample’s flow and adhesion behaviour, jar size and the permitted mass of the complete jar assembly. Review a trial before assuming that tumbling will solve a material-specific problem.

Trials and comparisons

How to plan a fair comparison

Request a matched comparison of conventional and tumbling operation. Keep the sample, jar, media and measurement procedure consistent, and record wall adhesion and temperature as well as particle size.
