Micron bead mill, an efficient grinding equipment, is mainly used to grind solid particulate materials to the micron level. Based on the high-speed movement and collision between grinding media (such as zirconium beads, and glass beads) and materials in a closed grinding chamber, it achieves ultra-fine grinding.
Micron bead mills include pin-type bead mills, disc-type bead mills, and basket-type bead mills.
According to different grinding requirements, the material of the bead mill varies from wear-resistant steel, polymer, polyurethane, ceramics, German-hardened steel, etc.
1. Regular Cleaning:
Daily Cleaning: After each use, clean the bead mill thoroughly to prevent any material build-up. Use appropriate solvents or cleaning agents that are compatible with the materials processed.
Deep Cleaning: Periodically, perform a more thorough cleaning. Disassemble the mill if necessary to clean all internal components, including the grinding chamber, agitator, and beads.
2. Inspection and Replacement of Beads:
Check Bead Condition: Regularly inspect the beads for wear and tear. Worn-out beads can affect the grinding efficiency and product quality.
Replace Beads: Replace beads that are damaged or have significantly reduced in size. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for bead size and material.
3. Lubrication:
Lubricate Bearings and Moving Parts: Ensure that all bearings and moving parts are properly lubricated according to the manufacturer’s guidelines. Use the recommended type and amount of lubricant.
Check Lubrication System: If the mill has an automatic lubrication system, ensure it is functioning correctly and that the lubricant reservoir is adequately filled.
Micron bead mills can produce ultra-fine pigment dispersions for water-based coatings, inks, and other products, improving the coloring, covering, and stability.
Micron bead mills can grind heat-sensitive materials, which requires a good cooling system, usually selected based on the characteristics of the grinding material including viscosity, and solid content.
Also, being equipped with auxiliary cooling equipment such as a heat and cold exchanger helps better.
Use solvents or water that match the solid-liquid mixtures as the mechanical seal cooling circulating fluid to avoid interference from external impurities in the grinding. For pigments, coatings, and other materials involving color requirements, high-purity zirconium beads are required, which can also reduce metal contamination.
