Product Overview


This dual-station planetary ball mill is a high-capacity, floor-standing preparation system designed to meet the diverse demands of modern laboratories and pilot production lines. With a generous 24-liter total processing volume and the ability to operate two independent grinding stations simultaneously, it delivers exceptional throughput for batch processing of powdered materials. The unit employs high-energy impact and friction forces to reduce particle sizes down to the submicron range, making it indispensable for applications requiring ultra-fine and homogeneous powders.
Engineered for versatility, this equipment processes materials ranging from soft, brittle substances to medium-hard samples, whether dry, wet, or under vacuum. Typical users include R&D centers in chemical, pharmaceutical, battery, and electronic materials industries, as well as production-scale operations in metallurgy, geology, and food processing. The dual independent frequency control not only doubles productivity but also allows side-by-side parameter optimization without cross-interference.
Built with an IP65 protective enclosure, CE safety certification, and a 40 mm acoustic insulation layer, this system is designed to operate reliably around the clock. Its user-centric features—such as a flip-top grinding chamber with LED lighting, convection cooling, and programmable controls—reduce operator fatigue and ensure consistent, repeatable outcomes. Whether you are conducting delicate catalyst development or high-volume ore pulverization, this mill provides the power, precision, and durability your workflow demands.
Key Features
- Independent Dual-Station Control: Each of the two planetary discs is powered by its own frequency converter, allowing independent adjustment of rotation speed, direction, and operation time. Run parallel experiments or production batches with different parameters simultaneously, maximizing efficiency and preventing any cross-contamination between sample types.
- High-Speed Grinding Performance: Achieve a maximum jar speed of 600 rpm, generating intense impact and friction forces that rapidly reduce even hard materials to particle sizes in the range of 0.1–20 µm. This high energy input drastically cuts processing time compared to traditional ball mills, enabling faster R&D cycles.
- Flexible Volume and Jar Configurations: The system accommodates up to eight 3‑liter grinding jars for a total capacity of 24 liters, or as few as two jars for smaller batches. Choose from a wide selection of jar materials—zirconia, tungsten carbide, stainless steel, MC nylon, PTFE, corundum—to match your material’s hardness and avoid unwanted contamination.
- Versatile Grinding Modes: Support for dry, wet, and vacuum grinding extends the application range to oxygen‑ or moisture‑sensitive materials. Wet grinding enhances cooling and particle dispersion, while vacuum mode allows processing under inert atmosphere when required.
- Intelligent Programmable Controls: The advanced control interface includes continuous and intermittent operation modes, a precision digital timer, and variable speed settings. Simply set your parameters and let the mill run unattended; automatic stop ensures reproducible results every time without operator intervention.
- Comprehensive Safety Systems: The IP65‑rated enclosure guards against dust and water ingress, making it safe for dusty industrial settings. In addition, an emergency stop button, overload detection, and hazardous‑operation protection circuits are integrated to immediately shut down the machine if any anomaly is detected, protecting both personnel and valuable samples.
- Optimized User Environment: A 40 mm acoustic insulation layer significantly reduces noise emission during high‑speed operation, while forced convection cooling prevents the grinding chamber from overheating. LED interior lighting and a flip‑top lid design offer easy, ergonomic access for jar loading and unloading, reducing manual handling effort.
- Robust, Stable Construction: The floor‑standing frame has a heavy‑duty steel build and a net weight of 420 kg, providing exceptional vibration damping and stability even at maximum speed. This ensures consistent fine grinding without the “walking” effect common in lighter mills.
