BM1200+ Planetary Ball Mill

Q: How does the BM1200+ Planetary Ball Mill ensure uniform grinding results?

A: The BM1200+ utilizes efficient planetary motion with four grinding stations and programmable speed (up to 600 rpm) to generate high-energy impact and shear forces. This results in homogeneous final particle sizes below 1 m, suitable for a variety of samples including powders and suspensions.

Q: What materials are compatible with the milling jars in this mill?

A: The planetary ball mill supports jars made from stainless steel, zirconia, and agate. This compatibility allows users to select the most appropriate material for their application, considering factors like chemical resistance and sample contamination.

Q: When should I use the programmable timer and speed features?

A: Programmable timer (1-999 min) and speed (up to 600 rpm) functions should be set based on your material type and desired particle fineness. These features provide precise control over grinding cycles, ideal for reproducing consistent results in research and quality control applications.

Q: Where can the BM1200+ be installed and used effectively?

A: The BM1200+ is designed for use in laboratories, research facilities, and material processing centers. Its robust build, low noise level (less than 60 dB), and compact dimensions allow for convenient placement on workbenches or dedicated grinding stations.

Q: What is the process for loading and operating the mill safely?

A: To operate, load samples (up to 10 mm feed size) into jars, secure them in the grinding stations, and set parameters via the digital interface. Safety interlocks prevent operation unless the lid is properly closed, and overload protection helps safeguard against mechanical or electrical issues during milling.

Q: Which types of samples can this planetary ball mill handle?

A: It is suitable for a wide array of sample types, including powders, suspensions, and both wet and dry materials. Its flexible design and high-performance motor ensure excellent adaptability for diverse material processing needs.

Q: What are the main benefits of using the BM1200+ in research and material processing?

A: Key benefits include programmable, uniform grinding; reliable, reproducible results; compatibility with varied jar materials; enhanced safety features; quiet operation; and user-friendly digital controls. These attributes contribute to efficient, precise laboratory and industrial workflows.
