How Does A lab horizontal bead mill

lab horizontal bead mill is wet grinding machine for continuous production. The working way is:

Feeding pump: like diaphragm pump or gear pump, to transferring the material into the grinding chamber which is filled with grinding media (normally it is Zirconia Beads, glass beads or steel beads. We recommend you 95% zirconia content Zirconia beads).

Grinding: These beads move along with high speed Grinding disc. The grinding beads hit against the material which needs to be grinded with high power.

Discharge: After thousands of times hitting, the material will get smaller particle size, and then it will be separated with the beads by a special sieve which installed in the middle of the grinding chamber cover.

Compared to three-roller mill, bead mill doesn’t need high working skill, easy to operate, and bead mill can work continuously on production line, by this way, using bead mill, you will get high quality product, and lower cost.

On the market, there are several types bead mill such as: disc type bead mill, pin type bead mill, turbo type bead mill, and each type have different size, to satisfy different customer’s need: different product, different viscosity, different working capacity….

How To Choose The Suitable lab horizontal bead mill 

Commonly used production bead mills are 5L, 10L, 15L, 30L, 50L, 100L, etc. 

This refers to the volume of the grinding chamber of the bead mill, However, many user no idea about what is the relationship between this grinding volume and the production capacity of bead mill

In fact, the volume liter of the grinding cavity only determines the amount of material passing through the grinding cavity per hour, that is what we usually call the flow rate, But the flow rate is not equal to the capacity at most time, Most materials, especially that require very fine fineness.

Such as nano size, this kind of fineness requirements cannot be achieved once in the grinding machine. Then choose bead mill must consider characteristics of the material and the fineness requirements . For example, the flow ability of the material, the viscosity, the original particle size of the raw material distance of the target fineness, all need to be considered.

Exactly, the specific capacity requirements and the selection of bead mill volume are more based on experience data , or actually calculated by the grinding data of the material, generally based on the number of grinding times to achieve the target fineness as a parameter, some materials need coarse grinding one times , this materials flow rate is equal to capacity, for most materials, need grinding 2 or 3 times ,plus the theoretical flow of bead mill ,Then can be choose bead mill .And different material will have differences in real working capacity 

Therefore, as professional lab horizontal bead mill manufacturers, the large amounts of data accumulated in various industries are very important to users. So communication with the professional sales engineers of the bead mill manufacturer are particularly important when selecting bead mil. Sales engineer can quickly and efficiently help you to successfully select suitable bead mill to avoid large discrepancies in output.
