The Planetary Ball Mill PM 300 is a powerful and ergonomic benchtop model with two grinding stations for grinding jar volumes up to 500 ml. This setup allows for processing up to 2 x 220 ml sample material per batch. Thanks to the high maximum speed of 800 rpm, extremely high centrifugal forces result in very high pulverization energy and consequently in short processing times.

The PM 300 is ideally suited for virtually all industries where the quality control process places the highest demands on purity, speed, fineness and reproducibility. Thanks to its enormous energy input of up to 64.4 times the acceleration of gravity, this mill is the perfect choice for tasks in research like mechanochemistry (co-crystal screening, mechanosynthesis, mechanical alloying and mechano-catalysis), or for ultrafine colloidal grinding on a nanometer scale.

Planetary Ball Mill PM 300 Safety first:
Automated notification of clamping force

Operation of the RETSCH planetary ball mills is particularly safe. They feature a robust Safety Slider which ensures that the mill can only be started after the grinding jar has been securely fixed with a clamping device. The self-acting lock ensures that the jar is seated correctly and securely. This proven solid mechanical system is less failure-prone than electronic solutions - the user has full access to the sample at any time. When the electronic system fails, it is not possible to unlock the jars, for example. A unique safety feature of the PM 300 is an acoustic signal and notification in the display when the clamping unit has been fixed with the required force of 25 Nm. RETSCH offers a convenient clamping aid to facilitate the process. This is particularly helpful when the machine is operated in the upper speed range between 600 and 800 rpm.

Planetary Ball Mill PM 300 Wet and nano-scale grinding with the PM 300

Мокрое измельчение используется для получения частиц размером менее 5 мкм, так как мелкие частицы имеют тенденцию заряжаться на своей поверхности и агломерироваться, что затрудняет дальнейшее измельчение в сухом режиме. При добавлении жидкости или диспергатора частицы можно предотвратить образования агломератов.

Для получения очень тонких частиц размером 100 нм и менее ( наноизмельчение) методом мокрого измельчения необходимо трение, а не удар. Это достигается за счет использования большого количества мелких мелющих шаров, которые имеют большую поверхность и много точек соприкосновения. В идеале не менее 60% объёма размольного стакана должно быть заполнено мелкими размольными шарами.

Для получения более подробной информации о заполнении стакана, мокром измельчении и извлечении образца посмотрите видеоролик.

Titanium dioxide in 125 ml Jar

The graphic shows the result of pulverizing titanium dioxide (TiO2) at 650 rpm and 800 rpm in the PM 300 and the net processing time. With the higher energy input at 800 rpm, the particle size decreases faster. However, the increased warming effects at 800 rpm should also be considered, as they might make longer breaks necessary.

RETSCH Planetary Ball Mills are perfectly suited for processes like mechanical alloying or mechanosynthesis. For most reactions, the 1:-2 speed ratio of jar to sun wheel of the models PM 100 and PM 200 is fully adequate, as the ball charge produces enough impact energy. However, greater energy is required for some reactions. Here the PM 400 MA can be used with the increased speed ratio of 1:-2.5 or 1:-3.0.

The PM 300 works with a speed ratio of 1:-2, but in contrast to other models, it reaches up to 64.4 x acceleration of gravity thanks to the maximum speed of 800 rpm and the large sun wheel. Together with the option to use four small, stackable grinding jars sized 12 to 80 ml for small scale operations, or two jars sized up to 500 ml for upscaling purposes, this planetary ball mill is highly suitable for research applications in mechanochemistry.

Planetary Ball Mill PM 300 EasyFit grinding jars for excellent results

The performance and the result of sample preparation are also determined by the choice of the grinding jar and its ball charge. The EasyFit range of jars has been specially designed for extreme working conditions such as long-term trials, even at maximum speed of 800 rpm, wet grinding, high mechanical loads and maximum speeds as well as for mechanical alloying. This line of jars is suitable for all RETSCH planetary ball mills.

The new EasyFit grinding jar series features a structure on the bottom of the 50-500 ml jars called Advanced Anti-Twist (AAT). This ensures that the jars are tightly fixed without the risk of twisting, even at high speed, and that wear and tear is drastically reduced. Secure clamping of the jars is made much easier: to find the correct clamping position, a maximum twist of 60° is required.

The geometry of the EasyFit jars in the 50 ml and 250 ml sizes has been enlarged in diameter and reduced in height compared to the previous "comfort" models. This offers two advantages: better grinding results and interchangeable lids, as there are only three diameter dimensions for the entire grinding jar range.

Diameter categories

  • Diameter 1: 12 ml and 25 ml grinding jars
  • Diameter 2: 50 ml, 80 ml and 125 ml grinding jars
  • Diameter 3: 250 ml and 500 ml grinding jars

.
  • Available jar sizes: 12 ml / 25 ml / 50 ml / 80 ml / 125 ml / 250 ml / 500 ml
  • Innovative Advanced Anti-Twist (AAT) function ensures secure fit of grinding jars
  • High flexibility thanks to suitability of three lid sizes for all seven jar sizes
  • Pressure-tight and dust-proof O-ring sealing prevents material spillage
  • Jars and balls available in 5 materials: hardened stainless steel, tungsten carbide, agate, sintered aluminium oxide, zirconium oxide
  • Stainless steel protective jacket for agate, sintered aluminum oxide, zirconium oxide and tungsten carbide grinding jars
  • Зазор между стаканом и крышкой позволяет легко открыть крышку, например, с помощью шпателя, если внутри стакана возникает пониженное давление

Adapter for special applications

With a special adapter, co-crystal screening can be carried out in a planetary ball mill, using disposable vials such as 1.5 ml GC glass vials. The adapter features 24 positions arranged in an outer ring with 16 positions and an inner ring with 8 positions. The outer ring accepts up to 16 vials, allowing for screening up to 64 samples simultaneously when using the Planetary Ball Mill PM 400. The 8 positions of the inner ring are suitable to perform trials with different energy input, e.g. for mechanosynthesis research.

Jars & lids for special applications 

  • For colloidal or wet grinding, the use of a grinding jar with a special closure device is recommended
  • The special closure device is designed for ergonomic handling
  • Аэрационные крышки разработаны для создания инертной среды, например, если кислород может повлиять на процесс измельчения или механосинтез. Крышки позволяют вводить в размольный стакан такие газы, как аргон или азот.
  • Система измерения давления и температуры PM GrindControl

Both the aeration lid and GrindControl can now be equipped with inlays of different materials. Thus, the lid can be used for, e. g. a steel and a zirconium oxide jar by simply exchanging the inlay.

Planetary Ball Mill PM 300 Рекомендации по заполнению размольного стакана

Для получения наилучших результатов измельчения объём стакана должен соответствовать объёму измельчаемого образца. Размер мелющих шаров должен быть в 3 раза больше размера самой крупной частицы образца. В соответствии с этим эмпирическим правилом, количество мелющих шаров в зависимости от размера шаров и объёма стакана указано в таблице ниже. К примеру, для измельчения 200 мл образца с максимальным размером частиц 7 мм рекомендуется использовать размольный стакан объёмом 500 мл и шары размером 20 мм и крупнее. Согласно таблице, потребуется 25 мелющих шаров.

If a pulverization process in a planetary ball mill is successful depends on the machine settings but also on the filling level of the grinding jar. The usable volume of the jars depends on the type of sample material. The number of grinding balls given in the table reflect the minimum amount per jar. A better result is obtained with a larger number of suitable balls, if indicated. In exceptional cases, the number of balls can be reduced by not more than 15%; however, that will result in increased wear of the grinding tools.

Planetary Ball Mill PM 300 Принцип работы

Размольный стакан размещён вне центра планетарного диска шаровой мельницы. Направление вращения планетарного диска противоположно вращению размольного стакана с соотношением скоростей 1:-2. Мелющие шары в размольном стакане подвергаются действию так называемых сил Кориолиса.

Разница скоростей между шарами и размольным стаканом приводит к взаимодействию сил трения и удара, которые высвобождают большую кинетическую энергию. Взаимодействие этих сил приводит к высокой степени измельчения в планетарной шаровой мельнице.
