The EMI
Lab Bead Mill
Self-contained lab bead mill for small-scale milling, fine grinding, and dispersing liquid and paste applications. Ideal for product research, quality control of raw materials, technical service applications, and scaling to production-sized batches. This lab bead mill uses grinding media to develop the high shear and impact forces required to reduce agglomerates or finite particles. For larger batches, check out the Horizontal Media Mill or post-mounted VIM Immersion Mill.
Sample Size Range: 25 mL – 10 L
- Capable of producing sub-micron particles
- Includes built-in pump and pre-disperser as required
- Single pass or re-circulation milling
- General purpose, explosion proof and intrinsically safe electrical controls
- PLC diagnostic controls available for operating, monitoring process variables, and data collection
- Quick release latches allow easy removal of components
- Customizable to meet application/processing requirements

EMI Lab Bead Mill Features
Re-Circulation and Single Pass Modes
With end plate set to re-circulate, the RPM is increased to desired level and product recirculates until quality is achieved. After re-circulation and setting end plate to single pass, the throughput rate can be adjusted from minimum to maximum flow rates.
Self-Contained or External Pump
Built-in, two-state internal pumping mechanism ensures controllable pumping rates, important particularly for high-viscosity applications. A separate pump is available if required.
Bead Separation Options
0.06 – 1.0 mm screen separators available for bead sizes 0.1 – 2.5 mm. Special arrangements can be made for smaller media sizes.
Temperature Control
The lab bead mill is designed with water-jacketed chambers and optional additional end plate cooling for precise temperature regulation.
Simple Cleaning
Addition of suitable solvent to the feed funnel with end plate in re-circulation position allows for efficient cleaning. Components can be quickly dismantled when necessary.
Custom Controls
General purpose, explosion-proof, and intrinsically safe options are available. PLC controls include a color display, programming for operation, monitoring process variables, data collection, and more.
