• Recommended for product research, quality control & technical service applications.
• Ideal for  screening formulations with limited amounts of raw materials.
• Capable of producing sub micron particles.
• The Mini mill includes its own built in pump and pre-disperser.
• Information gained will assist in scaling to production.
• Chamber sizes to meet most small sample requirements.
• Single pass or re-circulation.
• Variable speed agitator, 0 to 5000 rpm. 0 to 18 ml's.
• General purpose, explosion proof and intrinsically safe electrical controls.
• PLC diagnostic controls available for operating, and monitoring process variables.
• Quick release latches allow easy removal of components. 

Mill Selection - Consider what your ideal average batch volume should be and what special process requirements are necessary.

Expensive raw materials -

Consider a smaller mill like the EPS-M025 where typical batch range is 25 to 125 ml's.

Do you require a batch volumes to complete tests & retain small samples? Consider the EPS-M100 or EPS-M250 with samples from 100 to 1000 ml's.

Hazardous materials - You may require explosion proof or intrinsically safe electrical controls and motors.

 

 

Larger lab samples or small batch production

Consider the EPS-M750 ml, M1000 ml or M2000 ml mills with a larger chamber & funnel volumes.

 

Abrasive slurries - can be produced using special material of construction including wear resistant alloyed steels, polyurethane's and ceramic materials. faced mechanical seals hold up to abrasive products.

 

Ceramic milling chambers with components made from toughened ceramic materials avoid metal contamination and discoloration in abrasive products and metal sensitive materials.

 

Nano particle grinding - special components available to handle bead sizes down to 0.1 mm diameter. In this range exploratory work can be completed to see what might possible when particles are in the nano meter range.

 

 

PLC Controls and Process Monitoring.   

Collect and review historical data as well as monitoring functions during opration with an HMI and PLC control.

 

 General operation -

• Recommended for product research, quality control & technical service applications. Ideal for screening formulations with limited amounts of raw materials.
• Samples are premixed either by hand or by a high speed disperser then poured into the feed funnel with the Mini mill at low rpm.  
• With the end plate set to re-circulate the rpm is increased to the desired level and product is allowed to circulate until the degree of product quality is achieved.
• Product from the feed funnel is pumped into the milling chamber and an agitated bed of grinding beads. These beads can be glass, ceramic or steel and range in size from 0.3mm to 3 mm in diameter. The agitator rotational speed is electronically controlled. Product quality is determined by adjusting the chamber residence time using the metering discharge valve located at the chamber end and by adjusting the agitator rotational tip speed and the product formulation.
• The chamber and seal housing are water jacketed for efficient cooling.
• Cooling for the end plate is also available.

• Product is removed either by swinging the circulation pipe away from the funnel or by the diverter valve located in the chamber end plate.
• The mill can also be operated by passing product through the mill in single discrete passes.
• The through put rate can be adjusted by turning the end valve.
• Cleaning is achieved by passing a compatible solvent through the feed funnel.
• With the quick release chamber and end plate dismantling can be achieved in minutes for further cleaning.
• Mini mills have efficient chamber and end plate cooling.

• Standard Electrical Controls
• Explosion Proof
• Intrinsically Safe
• Purged Electrical Cabinets
