• Product name: DynoMill ECM-AP Series

The current chemical processing climate is mandating smaller and tighter particle size distributions in size reduction applications. To that end, the DynoMill ECM-AP Series has been designed to provide smaller more consistent results. The ECM-AP is a fast, efficient mill for continuous dispersion and wet fine grinding. Main applications are paints, inks, pigments, dyes, fillers and agrochemicals. The advanced design of the DynoMill ECM-AP promotes high product flow rates with material from low to high viscosity. The design works equally well with medias of all size range and types. The clear advantages of the DynoMill ECM-AP are very high throughput rates, wide range of viscosities, long screen life and easily produces submicron particle sizes. PLC controls assure easy operator interface and include self-diagnosis of process faults and automatic announcements of preventative maintenance schedules.

• Product name: Steel Balls and Steel Shots

The second most dense grinding media to tungsten carbide (15.0 g/cc0 is steel (7.0-7.9 g/cc). These are used where high solids loading or high viscosity concerns require a media that can plough through the suspension and still give a good grind of dark materials. These are offered in two varieties: steel shot and steel balls bearings (burnishing balls). For small diameters of 0.2 mm to 2.0 mm, the steel shot in both Carbon Steel and 300 Series Cast Stainless Steel are lowest and durable, if not particularly round. The steel balls, almost good enough for a ball bearing, are available from sizes 0.5mm to one inch (1”) in various alloys of stainless, chrome and carbon steel.

• Product name: M850E Basket Mill

Common to basket mills, the M850 allows for a lone tank process eliminating pumps, hoses and extra mix tanks for product transfer. The unique design of the Myers’ mill allows independent speed control of both the media and batch agitators. The agitator assists in keeping the batch homogeneous while waiting for its next pass through the milling chamber. Exiting the chamber, the product passes down the side of a cooling shroud to eliminate heat build-up. The Myers dual shaft design offers users greater flexibility in both viscosity ranges and batch sizes. Trials are available at the Bell, CA facility.

• Product name: Q-03 Circulation Attritor

Union Process, Inc., known globally as a manufacturer of particle size reduction and dispersing equipment, has produced the Q-03, a small bench-top laboratory-sized circulation grinding mill. This smaller circulation attritor was developed so users can perform lab trials with the advantage of the circulation grinding system using much smaller samples (from ½ gallon to one gallon). The Q-03 circulation attritor offers all of the advantages of larger laboratory or production-sized circulation attritors including a high circulation pumping rate, narrow particle size distribution, good temperature control and the ability to sample and make formulation adjustments on the fly.
