1.Summary

User manual of planetary ball mill

1.1.Main application
The products are mainly used in the fields of electronic ceramics,structural ceramics,magnetic materials,catalysts, biology, medicine, metallurgy, ceramics, lithium batteries, new materials, etc. 1.2.Operation principle
Planetary Ball Mill has four ball grinding jars installed on one turntable.When the turntable rotates, the jar axis makes planetary movements that the ball mill jar revolution around the axis of the rotary disc and at the same time it rotation around its axis. The balls and samples inside the jars are impacted strongly in high speed movement, and samples are eventually ground into powder. Various kinds of different materials can be ground by the mill with dry or wet method. Minimum granularity of ground powder can be as small as 0.1m(1.0*10mm-4).
Working mode: Two or four ball milling jars working at the same time and the maximum sample loading amount: Volume of ball milling jar 2/3, feeding granularity:soil material 10mm other material 3mm discharge granularity: the minimum can up to 0.1um (i.e. 1.0 *10mm-4). 1.3.Equipment structure diagram

2.Operation steps
Operation procedure:checking accessories ,equipment installation,add the oil,balls selection,feeding materials,installing jars,start power,set up the frequency converter,grinding,stop,discharging jars,cleaning equipment,switch it off 2.1. Checking accessories After unpacking, check the packing list to see if the accessories are completely,and check whether the equipment is damaged during transportation. If there is any shortage or damage, please contact our company immediately.
2.2. Equipment installation Pushing the ball mill to a specified position with a universal wheel,adjusting the supporting foot to the right height with a wrench,until the supporting foot braces the machine above the roller to prevent it from moving and lock nut after supporting foot full contact with the ground. Open the white rubber and then injecting lubricating oil into the main tank. The volume of the lube oil would be 800ml. The grade of lubricating oil 15W-40(This means the temperature under 15 degrees to 40 degrees) . The oil could be the oil in your car. The oil replace half a year.

2.3.Balls Match the grinding balls of several specifications according to the experimental scale.The following data for your reference:Crushing experiment according to

experiment

according

to

big,middle,small(10%30%60%)

2.4.Feeding

The capacity of experiment material is 1/3 capacity of ball milling jar. The

feeding granularity of the experimental sample should be less than 3 mm and the soil

was not more than 10 mm.The materials,balls and grinding space accounted for 1 / 3

respectively.

2.5.Put the ball mill jar into the planetary ball mill(see video operation)

Installing the jar which filled with grinding balls and materials to the ball mill jar

sleeve,then install V lock holder,locking seat fastening device.

This is an extremely important step and make sure it’s locked.We suggest to use

the principle of metal sleeve lever to reinforce v-clamp.(We have given metal sleeve

rod )

A: Installation of Non-vacuum Jar

To put a sealing ring on the lid and pay attention to whether there are balls or

powders at the opening of the jar before the lid is closed.

B: Installation of vacuum Jar

There will be one or two valves above the vacuum jar.With one valve on the jar

which is used in inlet and also outlet.With two valve on the jar, one valve is used for

the vacuum and other valve is used for injecting inert gas.

Ball mill jars must be symmetrically installed and no single or three jars to

running.The specific gravity of two opposing ball mill jars is ±100g.Ball mill jar must

be placed in the center of ball mill jar sleeve.If not,the V clamp can’t hold the ball mill

jar when running at high speed.There are 6 positioning holes in the bottom of 8L and

bigger ball mill jar sleeve.Must be aligned to avoid a safety accident when the ball

mill jar will thrown out of the sleeve.

2.6. Start power supply

Plug in—Turn on the safety switch—Turn on the emergency stop button—Press start

switch—Adjust the frequency converter knob to the revolution speed required by the

experiment.Screen displayed as planetary revolution speed.

When you see the indicator light “run” light up on the panel,it is running.When see

the “stop” light up,it is stop

2.7.Frequency converter parameter setting(see attachment) 2.8.Grinding material
2.8.1.Planetary high-speed rotation belongs to breaking speed(80% or more of the maximum rotational speed of the machine).It is recommended to use high speed in the first five minutes when the raw material is in granular state(60-70% of the maximum rotational speed of the machine), Recommend low speed for mixing speed(50 % to 60 % of the highest speed of the machine) 2.9.Closing down Press the stop button,when the planet’s main disk stops completely, it’s the end 2.10.Unloading jars
Open the V clamp holder. (A: Self-locking type,open gear buckle and anticlockwise opening. B:Nut type, open it counterclockwise with a wrench) unload V-type holder,take out the ball mill jar. The temperature will be high of jars after long time grinding.So dry grinding to prevent scald, wet grinding to prevent to scald experimenter with the exhaling liquid which from internal air pressure. 2.11.Cleaning the equipment
Clean up the powder or liquid sprayed on the machine after each used. The planetary master disk must be cleaned so as not to allow the powder to enter the planet’s main disk and damage the gears and bearings inside.
3. Introduction of ball mill jar and ball specification
3.1.Material characteristics of each ball mill jar A: Polyurethane jar is a seal jar, no sealing ring, no using of organic solvents. B: Nylon has high wear resistance,and can use alcohol as an auxiliary liquid. C: PTFE has high corrosion resistance and thermostability D: Stainless steel jar with 304 material,higher heat,when grinding,please avoid to
scald by the liquid. Must clean the water to avoid rust. E: Corundum pot is made of 92% alumina.In the first using the corundum jar,the
grinding ball must be placed in the ball mill to polished slowly of alumina powder after firing.
F: The density of cemented carbide jar is high, and it is easy to produce heat. This jar is used in special experiment.
G: Agate jar is from Brazil,a natural material.All agate jars from our factory have been strictly scanned.All that looks like a crack is actually an agate pattern.It can be safely used without replacement.
H: Silicon carbide jar belong to ceramics,low density,fast heat dissipation the performance is between corundum and zirconia jar
I: The zirconia is high purity,high density, high energy, stable performance in all aspects. Be careful not to take too long to use.We suggest to obtain different experimental samples indirectly.

6. Notices:
6.1. Keep the electrical parts dry, strictly prohibit using the wet hand touching the power supply. 6.2. When the equipment is ready for using, the power must be turned off to guard against accidents. 6.3. Check and maintain regularly to ensure that the lubricating degree of the transmission part and the connection of the electric appliance part are good 6.4. Keep equipment clean and clean in time 6.5. Overload operation is strictly prohibited 6.6. Before the equipment starts running, please reconfirm whether the grinding jar is locking as required 6.7. As the energy of planetary ball mill is high,it is not recommended to use for more than 6 hours in a continuous high speed state.we suggest to choose intermittent work mode in order to safety.And the reaction effect of the powder in a high – speed and high – temperature environment is mastered in advance 6.8. The machine should pay close attention to the temperature of the ball mill tank in operation. If the temperature exceeds 80 degrees, it should be stopped to cool down. After the machine is stopped,let the ball mill jar cool before opening to prevent the material from spewing out and scald.If entering some materials powder above 600 mesh, spontaneous combustion will occur easily.
High active hazardous materials need vacuum atmosphere protection jar and professional operation grinding. Factory technicians’ opinions are for reference only, not for final reference.The physical or chemical reaction risks that will occur during the powder grinding process need to be assessed by the experimenter himself to avoid an accident.The accident caused by the material will be borne by the user himself. We hope the experimenter will be careful.
