ZQM series Planetary Ball Mill (Intelligent Operation Screen)

ZQM Series Planetary Ball Mill for High-Energy Laboratory Grinding

The ZQM Series Planetary Ball Mill is a high-energy laboratory milling system designed for fine grinding, mixing, homogenisation and mechanical alloying of powders and suspensions. Its planetary working mode uses a sun wheel and eccentrically mounted grinding jars that rotate in the opposite direction, generating strong impact and friction forces together with centrifugal and Coriolis effects. This motion enables rapid particle size reduction and highly effective dispersion, with reported output fineness reaching below 100 nm under suitable conditions and depending on the sample, jar material and milling parameters.

Key Features and Specifications

• Intelligent operation screen with programmable memory and power-off memory
• Wet, dry, vacuum and atmosphere-protected grinding capability
• Grinding tank options including 25, 50, 100, 250 and 500 mL, with compatible vacuum jars in 50, 100 and 250 mL sizes
• Main disk speed up to 400 r/min and jar speed up to 800 r/min
• Optional jar and media materials such as stainless steel, zirconia, agate, corundum, tungsten carbide, PTFE, nylon and polyurethane
• Automatic safety door locking, low-noise oil-seal design and forward/reverse operation for controlled milling workflows
  
  

Typical Applications

This planetary ball mill is well suited to battery materials research, ceramics, minerals, metallurgy, chemistry, polymers and advanced functional materials. In battery and electrochemistry laboratories, it is useful for preparing cathode and anode powders, conductive additives, solid-state materials and homogenised precursor blends prior to slurry preparation, pressing, coating or downstream characterisation.

Why Choose ScienceGears

ScienceGears supports Australian and New Zealand researchers with application-focused guidance, helping laboratories select suitable jar materials, grinding media and related research tools such as battery cyclers, potentiostats, spectroscopy systems and sample preparation equipment. This makes the ZQM Series a practical choice for reproducible materials processing in R&D environments.
