XQM-20 20L Vertical Production Planetary Ball Mill

The TENCAN XQM-20 Vertical Production Planetary Ball Mill is a 20L batch grinding system designed for pilot-scale powder processing, material development, and production process verification.

Compared with smaller laboratory planetary ball mills, the XQM-20 provides increased grinding jar capacity for users who need to process larger quantities of powders while maintaining control over grinding speed, operating time, and processing conditions.

The machine features four grinding jar positions and combines planetary revolution with jar rotation to generate high-energy grinding and mixing action. Its vertical structure, precision gear transmission, and programmable operation make it suitable for advanced material processing and pilot-scale production applications.

Key Features and Advantages

• 20L Nominal Grinding Capacity: Supports four grinding jars with individual volumes of 2–5L, providing flexible configurations for different batch requirements.

• Powerful Planetary Grinding Action: Combines jar rotation and planetary revolution to deliver intensive impact, friction, and mixing action.

• Programmable Touchscreen Control: Enables operators to adjust grinding speeds, processing duration, and forward/reverse operating cycles.

• Durable Mechanical Construction: Features a reinforced steel structure and precision gear transmission designed for demanding powder-processing applications.

• Flexible Grinding Jar Materials: Compatible with various grinding jar materials, including stainless steel, zirconia, alumina ceramic, nylon, polyurethane, and PTFE, subject to the selected configuration.

• Optional Vacuum Grinding Configuration: Compatible vacuum grinding jars can be selected for applications requiring controlled processing conditions.

Technical Specifications

Technical values are based on the currently published XQM-20 configuration. Actual material loading capacity, achievable particle size, and processing performance depend on the powder, grinding media, jar selection, and operating conditions.

Typical Applications

1. Lithium Battery Materials

Suitable for grinding and mixing selected battery-related powder materials, including lithium metal oxides and other electrode-material formulations.

Grinding jars and media can be selected according to contamination-control and processing requirements.

2. Advanced Ceramic Powders

Applicable to the processing of ceramic materials such as alumina, zirconia, dielectric ceramics, and technical ceramic powders.

The machine supports pilot-scale formulation development and batch grinding experiments.

3. Electronic and Magnetic Materials

Can be used in the preparation and mixing of selected ferrites, phosphors, electronic ceramic powders, and other functional materials.

4. Pilot-Scale Powder Processing

Designed for users transitioning from small laboratory experiments to larger batch grinding operations.

The XQM-20 helps users evaluate grinding parameters and material behavior before selecting larger production systems.

Grinding Jar and Media Selection

Different materials require different grinding jar and media configurations.

For example, zirconia or alumina ceramic grinding jars may be considered when metal contamination must be minimized, while stainless steel jars offer mechanical durability for suitable powder-processing tasks.

PTFE, nylon, and polyurethane configurations may also be considered where material compatibility and contamination requirements permit.

TENCAN can assist customers in selecting grinding jars and grinding media according to their materials, desired particle size, grinding method, and process requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Does the XQM-20 process 20L of powder per batch?

The 20L specification refers to the machine's maximum nominal grinding jar volume, not the volume of powder that can be processed in one batch. Actual powder loading depends on the grinding media, filling ratio, material density, and operating conditions.

Q2: Can the XQM-20 be used for wet and dry grinding?

Wet and dry grinding applications can be considered with suitable grinding jars, media, and process conditions. TENCAN can recommend a configuration based on the customer's material and processing requirements.

Q3: Can the XQM-20 perform vacuum grinding?

The XQM-20 can be configured with compatible vacuum grinding jars. The published product specifications list vacuum jar options in the 2–4L range. Compatibility should be confirmed before ordering.

Q4: Is the XQM-20 suitable for pilot-scale production?

Yes. The XQM-20 is designed for batch grinding applications requiring a larger capacity than typical laboratory-scale planetary ball mills. Actual processing capacity and production suitability should be evaluated according to the specific material and target grinding result.

Q5: How can I select the right grinding jars and balls?

Selection depends on the material hardness, desired particle size, contamination sensitivity, wet or dry processing method, and grinding media compatibility. Share your material information with TENCAN for application-specific guidance.
