General operation - The Eiger EPS mill series will economically produce quality coatings, liquid colorants and other dispersions requiring fineness of particle. Products to be dispersed are premixed, and fed to the milling chamber with a metering pump controlling process residence time. The water-cooled milling chamber is filled with small media and agitated by a centrally located series of disks creating intense shear and impact forces. Process quality is determined by product feed rate, agitator rotational speed, grinding media type, size and loading along with product formulation.
New EPS Series mills provide additional benefits to the milling process. Recommended when small media less than 0.8 mm is used. Includes a new seal system, availability of three media separation systems to meet product requirements. Standard screen for most single pass applications, double cylindrical screen for small media and re-circulation milling, and saddle screen for agrochemicals and mineral grinding. The mill has increased cooling surface area for better temperature control. Includes process monitoring meters and safety switches. Various materials of construction available including polyurethane and ceramic.
Mills for hazardous locations include explosion proof motors, controls and wiring to meet local electrical requirements and standards.
PLC controls and process monitoring system available for precise operation control, collection of process data and provides automated operation.
Eiger mills provide improvements in product quality: Finer particles, dispersion stability, pigment strength, gloss and transparency. |
