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.

KD Series Production Grinding Mills DYNO-MILL


ECO-5 Model
The Dyno-Mill KD grinding mill series is a continuously operating media grinding 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

Dyno Mill KD grinding mill series are suitable for use in the Chemical, Agrochemical, Pigments, Dyestuffs, Paints, Inks, Coatings, Fillers, and Mineral Grinding industries.

ECM Series Production Grinding Mills DYNO-MILL


ECM-Poly
The Dyno-Mill ECM high-efficiency technology allows for greater throughput rates and finer dispersions than conventional grinding mills.

The unique construction minimizes media slippage and friction, providing more efficient use of available energy for dispersion.

ECM-Pro/Plus

As with the Dyno Mill KD grinding mill series, ECMs are suitable for use in the Chemical, Agrochemical, Pigments, Dyestuffs, Paints, Inks, Coatings, Fillers, and Mineral Grinding industries.

Please click on the model that matches your output needs from the list below:

MODEL Output Gal/Hr.
ECM-Poly 22-220
ECM-Pro 48-480
ECM-Plus 62-620
ECM-Ultra 160-1600
