Mills can be engineered to meet customer process requirements.

* Note: Each mill size is capable of producing smaller or larger volumes. The chart above is used for a starting reference.
  Consult with EMImillsregarding your applications.

Models – 5, 10, 20, 40, 75, 100, 125 Liter Chambers 

Production bead mills for wet milling, fine grinding and dispersing of liquid and paste type viscosities. Operation is on a continuous basis or by recirculation milling. Precise control of the mill agitator speed and pump flow rate assists in producing uniform products.  

The Model number is the chamber void volume in liters and 4 to 6 times the chamber volume is typically the minimum batch size to be produced on that sized mill. The correct mill size will process a complete batch in a reasonable time with minimum losses and minimum clean up required. If the mill is too small the processing times will be longer and if the chamber is too large the batch will finish in a shorter time but will require more clean up materials. Discuss the correct mill selection with EMImils.

Operation

The EMI production mills will economically produce quality dispersions requiring fineness of particle. Products to be dispersed are premixed, and fed to the milling chamber with the included metering pump controlling process residence time. The water-cooled milling chamber is filled with small media and agitated by a centrally located series of disks creating intense shear and impact forces. Process quality is determined by product feed rate, agitator rotational speed, grinding media type, size and loading along with product formulation.

The new mills have increased cooling surface area for better temperature control. Standard mills include process monitoring meters and safety switches. Various materials of construction are available to meet the process requirements including polyurethane and ceramic.
