Bead Mill

What is a bead mill?

A Bead Mill also known as a sand mill, is mainly used for the wet grinding of chemical liquid products. Compared with grinding equipment such as ball mill, roller mill, and colloid mill, bead mill has the advantages of high production efficiency, strong continuity, low cost, and high product fineness. The process conditions vary greatly, and the fineness requirements can be adjusted and classified by adding or subtracting grinding media in an appropriate amount.

Bead Mills are designed for dispersion processing, where solid particles (pigments, fillers) are reduced in size and finely dispersed and wetted out in a liquid phase. Small ceramic, glass or metal beads are agitated inside the mill chamber to aid particle size reduction through impact and energy input. Post dispersion the mill base is pumped to the let down tank for completion.

Abster’s Bead mills are one of the most effective methods for processing particles into micron to sub-micron size range. A wide variety of designs exist to adapt to the different viscosities, material characteristics and targeted particle size dispersion. Depending on the machine design, bead mills are operated in discrete pass or continuous operation. MOC of discs can be varied depending on the requirement.
