A colloid mill is a machine that is used to reduce the particle size of a solid in suspension in a liquid, or to reduce the droplet size in emulsions. Colloid mills work on the rotor-stator principle: a rotor turns at high speeds (2000–18000 RPM [1]).
Nov 30, 2022 · Colloid mill is a machine used in the disintegration of solid particles or droplet size of a liquid present in suspension or emulsion. The machine consists of an inlet (which is subjected to a tremendous shearing action that effects a time dispersion of uniform size) and an outlet.
A colloid mill is a type of rotor-stator mixer often used in the manufacturing of emulsions and dispersions. It can also be used to reduce the particle size of solids in suspension. Inside the colloid mill, a high-speed rotor pushes the fluid through small holes in a stationary stator, creating extremely high levels of mechanical shear.
Probst & Class is one of the leading manufacturers of machines for industrial processing. Since 1926 we have been building colloid mills, multi-stage grinding gear and perforated disk mills. Vacuum de-aeration units and lubricant processing units complement our product range.
Colloid mills are indispensable tools for achieving particle size reduction and uniform dispersion in numerous industries. By understanding the principles behind colloid mills and their wide-ranging applications, businesses can make informed decisions and enhance their production processes.
A colloid mill is a mechanical device used for reducing the particle size of solids dispersed in a liquid medium or emulsifying liquids with high shear forces. It consists of a rotor and a stator, both of which have highly polished surfaces that come into close proximity during operation.
Colloid mills and homogenizers are machines that can process particle reduction formulations; yet each may be preferential for specific applications. Here we present some critical differences between colloid mills and homogenizers.
A special machine, known as a “colloid mill” is used to grind down a “disperse phase” to “superfine” particles during the production process. At the beginning of the last century, engineers discovered that in the course of superfine grinding, solid particles do not crack in grinders, but are exposed to “fatigue destruction” instead.
The IKA MK 2000 is a high-performance inline colloid mill capable of performing wet and fine milling of tough and grainy raw materials. The MK 2000 is especially suitable for the production of colloidal solutions or extremely fine emulsions and suspensions.
