KRS horizontal bead mill with stainless steel grinding chamber, pressure gauges and control panel

PRODUCTS

Bead Mills

KRS bead mills grind and disperse pigmented and particle-loaded products to fine particle sizes in continuous operation.

OVERVIEW

Bead Mills by KRS

Bead mills are used after pre-dispersion when a product needs a finer, more uniform particle size than a dissolver alone can achieve, for example in paints, printing inks and coatings.

The KRS range includes horizontal production bead mills, laboratory bead mills and flameproof bead mills.

HOW IT WORKS

The working principle

Grinding chamber

The pre-dispersed product is pumped through a closed horizontal chamber filled with grinding beads.

Bead motion

An agitator sets the beads in motion; impact and shear between them break particles down.

Separation

A separation system at the outlet retains the beads while the finished product leaves the chamber.
