Principle of Operation
The fluid product to be dispersed is pumped through a water-jacketed grinding vessel at a controlled rate by an external pumping system.
The fluid in the vessel is subjected to a combination of intense impact and high-shear forces created by the impeller system and media particles. The effect is to produce a smooth, uniform, finely ground deagglomerated pigment, thoroughly wetted to its primary particle size and beyond.
Fineness of grind depends on dwell time in the vessel, agitator speed, media loading, media size, media density, formulation of the premix, and effectiveness of the preliminary mixing and wetting.
Vertical vs. Horizontal Mills
| Technology | Model Type | Cost | Efficiency | Target Size | Mat'l of Construction | | Vertical | Red Head | Lower | Single/Multi-pass | < 6 microns | Standard | | Horizontal | KD | Medium | Single-pass | < 2 microns | Advanced | | ECM | Higher | Higher output | < 0.2 microns | Exotic |
KD Series Production Mills
ECO-5 Model | The Dyno-Mill KD series is a continuously operating media mill with a horizontal grinding container for dispersion and fine wet grinding. The models in this series were designed for difficult-to-grind products and are able to deagglomerate as well as reduce particle size. | 
KD-600 Model |
KD Mills are suitable for use in the Chemical, Agrochemical, Pigments, Dyestuffs, Paints, Inks, Coatings, Fillers, and Mineral Grinding industries.

ECM Series Production Mills
ECM-Poly | The ECM high-efficiency technology allows for greater throughput rates and finer dispersions than conventional mills.
The unique construction minimizes media slippage and friction, providing more efficient use of available energy for dispersion.
| 
ECM-Pro/Plus |
As with the KD series, ECMs are suitable for use in the Chemical, Agrochemical, Pigments, Dyestuffs, Paints, Inks, Coatings, Fillers, and Mineral Grinding industries.
