OPQN Series Omnidirectional Planetary Ball Mill
Multi-Directional Milling with Added Vertical Rotation
The OPQN2 Omnidirectional Planetary Ball Mill combines conventional planetary motion with an additional vertical rotation function. This continuously changes the orientation of the grinding jars, helping redistribute the grinding media and sample during operation.
Compared with conventional planetary ball mills, the added vertical rotation helps:
- Reduce material settling and dead zones
- Improve grinding uniformity
- Increase contact between the sample and grinding balls
- Support more effective mixing and mechanical alloying
- Produce more consistent results during extended milling
The OPQN is suitable for fine grinding, mixing, homogenisation, dispersion and mechanical alloying. It supports dry and wet grinding, as well as vacuum or controlled-atmosphere milling when compatible vacuum jars or sleeves are used.
Key Features
- Additional vertical rotation for omnidirectional milling
- Minimum particle size down to approximately 0.1 μm
- Jar speed up to 530–600 rpm
- Main planetary plate speed up to 265–300 rpm
- Operates with two or four jars simultaneously
- Supports dry, wet, vacuum and controlled-atmosphere milling
- Programmable speed, timing, forward/reverse and intermittent operation
- Up to 72 hours of continuous operation at full load
- Safety interlock stops rotation when the lid is opened
- Compatible with stainless steel, zirconia, agate and PTFE jars
Typical Applications
Suitable for advanced materials, battery materials, ceramics, nanomaterials, powder metallurgy, mineral samples, electronic materials, composites and university laboratory research.
High-energy planetary milling with added vertical rotation for more uniform and efficient material processing.
