Lab conical ball mill is a type of milling equipment specifically designed for laboratory-scale applications. This apparatus features a conical design, characterized by its tapered cylindrical shape which narrows from the feeding end to the discharging end. It typically consists of a rotating drum mounted horizontally, with a conical end, and is equipped with grinding media such as steel balls or steel bars. The conical design helps to enhance the efficiency of the milling process by promoting a more uniform particle size distribution and improving the grinding action.

Lab conical ball mills are widely used in various scientific and industrial research fields. Their primary applications include:

1.For preparing finely ground samples for X-ray diffraction (XRD) and other analytical techniques.
2. For grinding active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and other materials to fine powders.
3.For the synthesis of novel compounds through mechanochemical processes.
4.For the comminution of ores and other materials for subsequent analysis.
