Particle sizes for the recorded sample and sampling time.
Sample assessment
The pre-reduced calcium sodium phosphosilicate has an explicit median objective. The successful planetary stage is identified by process type without a model designation. The laboratory test record documents this preparation only; applying the method to another batch requires a matched trial.
Recorded objective
Reach the recorded median-size objective of D50 = 18 µm.
Equipment and selection
The recorded planetary machine is Planetary mill; family and exact model not recorded. A general TENCAN platform catalogue reference is the Laboratory planetary grinder. The jar volume identifies the test container and does not establish an exact machine variant or production capacity. The catalogue link does not identify the tested family or model.
Test setup
| Recorded planetary machine | Planetary mill; family and exact model not recorded |
|---|---|
| Documented setup | Initial QM-5 stage: 1 L alumina drum container and standard zirconia balls; 690 g pre-reduced material; dry operation; speed setting 420. Subsequent planetary platform is named without a family or model. |
| Recorded operating cycle | Not stated; field is not independently assigned to the later planetary stage |
Speed values are reproduced as recorded settings. A rotational unit and planetary-disc versus jar-speed basis are not stated, so these numbers are not labelled rpm.
Recorded procedure and results
The material was mechanically reduced before the initial drum treatment. That treatment showed no change at 1 hour. A subsequent planetary stage was then recorded. After 2.5 hours in the planetary stage, the sample measured D50 = 8.86 µm and D90 = 27.77 µm. Jar volume, sample mass and speed were not independently restated for that stage.
Measured after 2.5 hours in the planetary stage; exact planetary setup is not recorded.
Interpretation
The measured median after planetary processing was below the recorded 18 µm objective. The result is attributable to a planetary stage, but the initial drum settings cannot be assumed to describe it. The source does not identify a particular planetary family.
Practical precautions
Confirm the planetary setup before a repeat, including the transferred sample mass, jar and media. Preserve the pre-reduction history and distinguish median-size acceptance from a maximum-particle specification; D90 shows a coarser tail above the median objective.
TENCAN alternatives to evaluate
For follow-up comparison, consider the TENCAN Laboratory Full-Directional Planetary Ball Mill. For calcium sodium phosphosilicate, a matched QXQM trial can test whether changing orientation affects the phosphosilicate median after a fully documented planetary setup. Keep sample mass, media and sampling times controlled. This is a proposed comparison; the test record does not demonstrate a superior result for that alternative. Confirm jar compatibility and the permitted complete loaded mass before selecting a configuration.
The procedure proves a planetary stage but does not name a family/model. the TENCAN Laboratory planetary grinder catalog page is a platform catalogue reference only, not an identified tested model; no XQM/QXQM/WXQM family is inferred.
