Advanced High-Energy Planetary Ball Mill with Four 500mL Milling Jars

The KS-GPM-15 is a high-performance horizontal planetary ball mill designed for advanced grinding, mixing, homogenizing, and mechanical alloying of powder materials.

Technical Parameters

The KS-GPM-15 is a high-performance horizontal planetary ball mill designed for advanced grinding, mixing, homogenizing, and mechanical alloying of powder materials. With a maximum rotation speed of up to 1600 rpm for self-rotation and 400 rpm for revolution, this system offers unmatched milling intensity and flexibility, making it an ideal solution for laboratories and research facilities across materials science, chemistry, metallurgy, and nanotechnology.

This planetary ball mill supports the simultaneous operation of four milling jars, each with a capacity of up to 500 ml, allowing for high-throughput sample processing. The jars rotate on their own axes (self-rotation) while simultaneously revolving around the central axis of the machine (revolution). These dual motions create intense centrifugal forces and frictional shear, resulting in ultra-fine particle size reduction, superior homogenization, and efficient alloying processes.


Key Features

  • Independent Speed     Control:
        The KS-GPM-15 allows users to independently adjust the self-rotation and revolution     speeds of the grinding jars. This feature enables precise control of the     grinding dynamics and energy input, which is especially critical for     processing materials with different hardness, fragility, or chemical     properties. Users can customize the motion profile to achieve optimal     milling or mixing performance.
  • High-Speed Operation:
    • Self-Rotation Speed: 0      – 1600 rpm
    • Revolution Speed: 0 –      400 rpm
           These speeds provide extremely high centrifugal force, enhancing impact      and shear forces during milling. This results in fine and uniform      particle sizes, ideal for preparing materials for high-precision      applications.
  • High Capacity:
        The system supports 4×500 ml milling jars simultaneously, significantly     boosting processing capacity and experimental efficiency.
  • Touchscreen Interface:
        Equipped with a modern touchscreen panel, the KS-GPM-15 offers an     intuitive user interface. Users can easily configure rotation directions,     set operating times, and adjust individual speed settings. This digital     control system also enables storage of multiple milling programs for     consistent and repeatable processing.
  • Flexible Milling     Parameters:
        Users can set and modify multiple key parameters including revolution     speed, self-rotation speed, milling time, and rotation direction     (clockwise or counterclockwise). This programmability enables complex     multi-step processes, such as staged grinding or alternating direction     cycles, for optimal dispersion and material breakdown.
  • Powerful Milling     Performance:
        With extremely high impact and shear force, this machine delivers     excellent results in both dry and wet grinding. It can be used for     particle size reduction to below micron or even submicron levels,     depending on the material and processing method.
  • Durability &     Stability:
        The KS-GPM-15 is built with a robust mechanical structure and reinforced     safety shielding. The horizontal layout provides improved balance and     reduced vibration compared to vertical planetary mills, which enhances     operational safety and extends machine life.

Typical Applications

The KS-GPM-15 is widely applicable for:

  • Mechanical Alloying:     Ideal for creating homogeneous metal alloys or composite powders through     repeated cold welding and fracturing of particles under high energy.
  • Nanomaterial Preparation:     Capable of producing nanoscale powders with consistent size distribution.
  • Chemical &     Pharmaceutical Mixing: Suitable for blending powders, granules, and     pigments in chemistry and pharmaceutical laboratories.
  • Material Sample     Preparation: Frequently used in sample pre-processing for XRD, SEM, and     other analytical techniques.

Materials Compatible

This planetary ball mill is compatible with a wide range of materials including:

  • Metal powders
  • Ceramics
  • Composites
  • Minerals
  • Graphite
  • Biological and     pharmaceutical substances
  • Organic and inorganic     powders

The system can accommodate milling jars made of stainless steel, tungsten carbide, alumina, zirconia, PTFE, and other materials depending on the chemical reactivity and contamination sensitivity of the sample.
