TENCANPLANETARY BALL MILLS

QXQM production series

Heavy-duty Full-directional Planetary Ball Mill

A production-oriented full-directional planetary mill range combining larger jar configurations with assembly tumbling.

Overview

A production-oriented full-directional planetary mill range combining larger jar configurations with assembly tumbling. The published production QXQM chart covers 16–100 L nominal capacities.

How it works

Jar rotation and disc revolution continue while the assembly tumbles through different orientations. This can be evaluated where settling or caking affects a batch, without assuming the same response for every material.

Key features

  • Four jar positions and model-specific jar compatibility are listed.
  • The product information identifies separate control, cooling, ultrasonic and sieving proposals as optional configuration items.
  • Laboratory QXQM sample records must be distinguished from production-scale validation.

Specifications

Published catalog references are reproduced below. Nominal volume is not a sample-mass rating. Confirm the selected model, material grade, electrical supply and complete supplied configuration in the quotation.

Applications

Batch powder processing and scale-up studies involving material movement, settling and wall adhesion.

Suitability depends on the actual sample, process and analytical requirements; a listed application is not a guaranteed final-particle-size result.

Accessories and options

Discuss air or liquid-nitrogen cooling, heating, ultrasonic assistance, sieving and the control panel where compatible. Each proposed option needs an agreed mechanical, utility and process scope.

  • Jar and media: confirm material, volume, holder fit and the complete working load.
  • Vacuum or gas requirements: specify the complete jar, lid and seal arrangement; no pressure rating is assumed.
  • Utilities and supply scope: state voltage, frequency, phase, destination and required documents; confirm included versus optional items.

Selection guidance

Check the loaded jar assembly, installation access, utilities and operating cycle. A 500 mL laboratory QXQM trial cannot validate the output of a larger production machine.

This is a laboratory QXQM-family record with a 500 mL jar, not a production-scale result. The record identifies QXQM, not WXQM or a production QXQM capacity. D99 was requested but not reported. Atmosphere, contamination and measurement methods need confirmation.

How to plan a fair comparison

Plan scale-up with matched measurement methods and documented sample/media loading. Record temperature and material movement so that a laboratory result is not extrapolated solely from nominal volume.

These anonymous records are not operating instructions. Measurement and dispersion methods are not fully specified in the test summaries; results apply to the reported samples and conditions.

Product FAQs

Does a laboratory QXQM trial verify production-scale performance?

No. The recorded lithium iron phosphate trial used a 500 mL jar and an unspecified QXQM capacity. It is a family-level application reference, not a test of the larger models listed here.

How should I select the QXQM production series configuration?

Check the loaded jar assembly, installation access, utilities and operating cycle. A 500 mL laboratory QXQM trial cannot validate the output of a larger production machine. Four jar positions and model-specific jar compatibility are listed. Nominal mill capacity is not the usable sample mass; account for media and working space.

Which jars and grinding media should I request for this mill?

Production QXQM models list four jar positions with model-specific standard and vacuum-jar volumes. Confirm clamping and tumbling clearance. Choose the jar working material and media around sample chemistry and contamination limits; confirm the complete loaded mass.

Are cooling and ultrasonic equipment included?

Discuss air or liquid-nitrogen cooling, heating, ultrasonic assistance, sieving and the control panel where compatible. Each proposed option needs an agreed mechanical, utility and process scope. Optional equipment is included only when it is explicitly listed in the agreed configuration and quotation.

What trial evidence is available for this mill?

Lithium iron phosphate: QXQM; exact capacity not recorded, 120 g in 500 mL, 150 min. This is a laboratory QXQM-family record with a 500 mL jar, not a production-scale result. The record identifies QXQM, not WXQM or a production QXQM capacity. D99 was requested but not reported. Atmosphere, contamination and measurement methods need confirmation. A free sample-grinding application can be reviewed by TENCAN engineers.

What should I include in an export quotation request?

Specify QXQM production series, sample and jar requirements, destination, mains voltage, frequency and phase. Check the loaded jar assembly, installation access, utilities and operating cycle. A 500 mL laboratory QXQM trial cannot validate the output of a larger production machine. Confirm included accessories, packing, required documents, commercial terms and lead time in the quotation.
