Colloid Mill

A colloid mill does its work by hydraulic shear, bringing to bear a tremendous amount of energy on a small portion of material in the form of a thin film. This will reduce particles to their ultimate crystal size by breaking up the agglomerates into which they form. In the case of emulsions, the same principle holds. As the particles of the dispersed phase of the emulsion get smaller, it requires progressively more energy to overcome the surface tension holding them together. Enormous hydraulic shear is needed to do the job and a colloid mill is the ideal devise to apply this force.

Colloid Mill Equipment Specifications

Features and Benefits:

• Clearance between the rotor and stator can be adjusted and locked in seconds with no tools needed. Even while the mill is operating.

• The triple heavy duty bearings are protected by our easy-to-maintain "labyrinth" seal. Product cannot get into the bearings under normal use.

• All mills are jacketed for use with steam, hot or cold water. Our colloid mills can operate at temperatures up to 350°F.

• Premier Colloid Mills can be easily converted to closed, continuous operation. A pump may feed the mill, or the mill may be mounted underneath a tank for gravity feeding.

• Units can be equipped with mechanical seals for pressurized operations.

• Colloid mills are available in sanitary design for food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic applications.
