A planetary ball mill can include a central axis, a hub, and a plurality of milling pots. In some examples, the milling pots surrounding the central axis are configured to be transitioned between horizontal and vertical positions during operation of the planetary ball mill.

An apparatus for producing spherical metallic powders through continuous ball milling. The apparatus includes a comminution component. The comminution component includes an inlet to receive a metallic material at a first region within the comminution component and an outlet to dispense the metallic powder from a second region within the comminution component. The apparatus includes a plurality of grinding components to grind the metallic material, the plurality of grinding components being arranged within the comminution component. The apparatus includes a drive component, connected with the comminution component, to induce movement of the metallic material and the plurality of grinding components within the comminution component such that the metallic material is fragmented through contact with the plurality of grinding components at the first region and an external surface of the fragmented metallic material is altered at the second region to produce the metallic powder.

The present invention provides a method for preparing two or more batches of material. A first batch is placed into a first container and a second batch is placed into a second container. A grinding media is added to each of the first and second containers. The first and second containers are placed into a movable body, which is moved to induce movement of the first and second containers at least under gravitational force in the movable body so that the grinding media grind the first and second batches inside their respective first and second containers. A system is also provided.
