Horizontal and Planetary Ball Mills Equipment
Featured Product from Xiamen Innovacera Advanced Materials Co., Ltd.

The Zirconia Ceramic Ball mill jar is one part of all kinds of grinding and mixing materials equipment. During the various types of ball mill jars, horizontal and planetary ball mill equipment are mostly used. Now let’s explore the differences between these two types of ball mill equipment so that you can select the right equipment for related application.
Planetary sand mill equipment
A planetary ball mill is an efficient ball mill equipment, its grinding principle is the grinding tank as a planet, through the interaction of the planet and the grinding ball, the grinding ball in the tank’s high-speed movement, and friction and collision with the sample or abrasive, to achieve the purpose of grinding. Planetary ball mill is suitable for the preparation of high-purity materials cell crushing and other fields, its biggest advantage is that the grinding efficiency is high, and the grinding particle size is adjustable.
The difference between Horizontal and Planetary Ball Mills Equipment
- Working principle: The planetary ball mill is grinding through the interaction between the planet and the grinding ball, while the horizontal sander is grinding through the rotation of the grinding disk.
- Application field: The planetary ball mill is suitable for the preparation of high-purity materials and cell crushing and other fields; The horizontal sand mill is suitable for pigments, coatings, paints, pharmaceuticals, food, and other fields.
- Grinding efficiency: The grinding efficiency of the planetary ball mill is high, and the grinding size can be adjusted; The grinding efficiency of the horizontal sand mill is low, and the grinding particle size is not easy to adjust.
