The Pharma Test / Pharmag BM-0 Ball Mill Attachment Drive (Part No. 40-01160) is designed for pharmaceutical formulation research and development (R&D), gastronomy laboratories, and pilot plants. This module connects to the P-UAM universal motor drive via a P-UGD universal gearbox, utilizing high-strength dual-spindle rotary drive to power various types of independent grinding jars. It provides low-speed, highly stable, and high-torque tumbling grinding power, fully complying with the stringent requirements of cGMP, FDA, and the International Pharmacopoeia for laboratory ultrafine grinding and homogenization processes.

I. Standardized Quick-Lock Attachment Flange: Utilizing industry-standard mounting flanges, it allows for quick installation and removal from the P-UGD/P-UAM drive system within seconds without the need for complex tools, significantly reducing equipment purchase costs and laboratory workspace.

II. Dual Heavy-Duty Drive Rollers Architecture: Utilizing a wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant precision parallel dual-roller design, it can flexibly accommodate standard grinding jars of different materials (such as ceramic, agate, and stainless steel) and capacities, supporting simultaneous tumbling operation of single or multiple jars.

III. Comprehensive Dry & Wet Milling Compatibility: Supports solid/solid dry micronization and solid/liquid wet grinding and suspension dispersion, enabling efficient processing of crystalline active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), pellets, tablets, tablets, high-viscosity slurries and wet powders.

IV. Pharmaceutical-grade hygienic structure and cGMP cleaning verification (cGMP Sanitary Design & Cleanability): The outer frame is made of AISI 304/316 corrosion-resistant stainless steel, with a smooth surface without dead corners, making it easy to clean and disinfect, and fully complies with cGMP and GLP cleaning effectiveness standards.

Equipment Introduction

• Modular Tumbling Ball Mill Drive Platform

  • Flexible Milling Jar Compatibility: Designed specifically for pharmaceutical R&D, Galenical Labs, and pilot plants, this jar features a highly adaptable parallel dual-roller support structure. It allows for the free placement of milling jars of different materials (ceramic, agate, alumina/zirconia ceramic, stainless steel) and capacities (from small to a maximum of 5.0 L) depending on the material's tolerance.

  • Integrated Modular Process Suite Compatibility : As one of the core modules of Pharmag’s pilot unit operating equipment, it can be quickly connected to the laboratory power drive system through a universal interface, which greatly saves equipment purchase costs and space.

• High-Torque Precision Smooth Tumbling Drive System

  • Stable Low-Speed High-Torque Milling : Requires a P-UGD gearbox and P-UAM main drive to provide precise and stable rotational power of 5 to 45 RPM, ensuring that the grinding balls in the grinding jar maintain the optimal cascading and cataracting motion trajectory, preventing material overheating or thermal degradation.

  • Excellent batch-to-batch reproducibility : Digital speed precision control ensures a high degree of consistency in the fine particle size distribution (PSD) of each batch of grinding, accurately simulating and scaling up industrial-grade ball milling processes.

• Industry-standard quick-lock flange and compact benchtop design.

  • Tool-Free Quick-Lock Flange Mounting: Adopting an industry-standard flange interface (compatible with most mainstream specifications of accessories), module installation and replacement can be completed by hand without tools in seconds, greatly improving laboratory operation efficiency.

  • Compact Footprint with High Load Capacity : The compact tabletop design features a high-rigidity support base and long-life heavy-duty bearings, enabling it to stably withstand long-term continuous operation of heavy-duty grinding jars.

• Comprehensive dry and wet milling and broad material compatibility.

  • Versatile Dry Milling & Wet Milling/Mixing : Supports solid/solid dry milling, as well as solid/liquid wet grinding, dispersion and mixing, suitable for crystalline active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), pellets, tablets, high-viscosity suspensions and wet powders.

  • Extensive Cross-Industry Applications : Widely applicable to micro-grinding and grinding processes in diverse industries such as pharmaceuticals, herbal and natural medicines, fine chemicals, food, agriculture, cement and ceramics, cosmetics, detergents and paints.

• cGMP Sanitary Design & Easy Maintenance

  • Corrosion-Resistant Stainless Steel Frame : The entire structure is made of high-quality stainless steel with a smooth surface and no dead corners. It can withstand various organic solvents and wiping with disinfectant alcohol, and fully complies with cGMP and GLP cleaning effectiveness standards.

  • Maintenance-free, wear-resistant low-maintenance rollers : The transmission roller surface has excellent grip and chemical resistance, is not prone to dust accumulation, and has no risk of contamination from wear and shedding, providing excellent service life and ease of maintenance.
