Sample assessment
The feed was rice grains without a moisture specification or starting dimension. The endpoint was powder formation rather than a numerical distribution.
Analyst consideration: For rice, powder formation concerns breakdown of grain structure, while water addition can change handling and apparent texture. The two charges should therefore be evaluated as separate preparations rather than a speed-only comparison.
Recorded objective
Convert the rice to powder.
Equipment and selection
The machine entry is XQM. TENCAN Vertical square planetary ball mill is associated at the recorded series level. No exact housing variant is inferred from jar capacity or an abbreviated machine label.
Test setup
| Jar entry | Steel 500 |
|---|---|
| Media entry | Steel 500 |
| Media-charge notation | 15-250/12-150/10-100 |
| Sample-load entry | 90 (unit not stated) |
| Controller speed setting | 600 |
| Cycle notation | 5/1 |
Unlabelled jar, media and load numbers remain source notation, not assigned units. Controller settings are not certified rpm. The cycle notation has no independently stated timing unit or reversing definition.
Recorded procedure and results
In the first trial 10 g water was added at forty minutes, and powder formation was recorded at one and a half hours. A repeat used 100 g rice with 10 g water at speed setting 620; it produced powder after thirty minutes. The setup column lists an initial setting of 600.
Interpretation
Both sequences were favorably recorded, but their charges and settings differ. The thirty-minute repeat must not be combined with the first sequence as one time curve. No measured size, starch integrity or food-quality result was supplied.
Practical precautions
Control feed moisture and record water additions for each batch. Define the powder acceptance method and compare independent repeat charges rather than assuming the shorter time transfers unchanged.
TENCAN alternatives to evaluate
TENCAN Planetary ball mill (semi-circular model). A benchtop configuration may be assessed for the rice repeat if its jar and load are compatible. Keep the 100 g rice/10 g water preparation distinct from the earlier batch. The benchtop option concerns a compatible laboratory jar and verified batch load for the short repeat; its value is controllable preparation and handling, not a promised reduction in milling time. This is an untested comparison proposal, not a result of this trial.
Association follows the explicit XQM source entry; only recorded tested series/configurations are related. No jar-volume inference.
