Used media mills, particularly horizontal mills and basket mills used for the milling, mixing and blending of wet applications, are a great, cost-effective alternative for companies looking to purchase material processing and particle size reduction equipment.
Wet mills utilize media milling technology to separate agglomerated particles, reduce particle size and provide even dispersions. Grinding media is placed into the grinding chamber of a horizontal mill or the basket of a basket mill and circulated at high velocities to process materials and achieve a desired particle size. A media separator is used to isolate and contain media within the mill during the extraction of a product. Screen sizes vary based on the diameter of the media used in processing. Media for fine particle reduction generally span from 4.0mm to 0.1mm and smaller for grinds in the nanometer range.
This wet grinding technology can be used for the processing of materials in a variety of industries including paints, inks, coatings, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, food products and other specialty chemicals. The process is ideal for handling products of varying viscosities, including high viscosity products such as adhesives, sealants and composites.
