Planetary ball mills are powerful and versatile tools for fine grinding, mixing, homogenising, and mechanical alloying, making them essential for demanding research and analytical applications.
Ideal for processing hard, medium-hard, soft, brittle, tough, or even moist materials, these mills deliver results down to the micrometre range.
The grinding process relies on high-energy impacts generated by the rapid rotation of grinding bowls in a planetary motion. This mechanism ensures efficient size reduction and energy transfer, ideal for both dry and wet grinding, as well as grinding under inert gas atmospheres for air-sensitive materials.
Planetary ball mills from PI-KEM are designed to meet the highest standards of performance and reliability. Applications include:
• Particle Size Reduction: Produce ultra-fine powders for use in applications such as battery materials, catalysts, and advanced ceramics.
• Homogenisation: Achieve consistent, uniform mixtures ideal for analytical accuracy and repeatable processing.
• Sample Preparation: Prepare high-quality samples for techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD) and other material characterisation methods.
• Material Synthesis: Enable solid-state reactions and mechanical alloying for the development of new materials and compounds.
