Grinding Mills - Horizontal
Principle of Operation
The fluid product to be dispersed is pumped upward 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.
Media is retained in the vessel by a screen system, which allows the fluid to flow and be collected.
Fineness of grind depends on dwell time in the vessel, media loading, media size, media density, formulation of the premix, and effectiveness of the preliminary mixing and wetting.
Vertical vs. Horizontal Grinding 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 |
