The HSM
Horizontal Media Mill

The HSM Horizontal Media Mill (also known as a bead mill or shot mill) is ideal for adding efficiency to your grinding and dispersing process. The HSM is designed for milling a wide range of materials, including paints, inks, dyes, chemicals, adhesives, foods, pharmaceuticals, and more. For a small-scale, ;ab milling option, check out the EMI Lab Bead Mill. And for a post-mounted design, the VIM Immersion Mill is an optimal choice.

  • Use as a stand-alone unit, integrated with a pre-mix/pre-dispersion process, or installed in series with different media sizes for multi-pass and sub-micron, high-production applications
  • Handles materials with high viscosities or thixotropy, along with moisture and air-sensitive materials
  • Quick and easy clean up between batches
  • Available in a vertical configuration depending on your operational requirements

Motor Options

20-200 HP motor options available, providing a range of power to ensure optimal performance and efficiency in your operation.

Temperature Regulation

Liquid heating and cooling chamber options are available, a valuable feature for many products such as paints, inks, coatings, chemicals, etc. Dual or triple heating or cooling zones with flow rate meters are also included for precise milling.

Simple Cleaning

Clean-in-place: The housing rolls into cleaning position so no lifting is required. Additionally, a catch tray and cleaning cart with media separation screen is included for quick change overs.

What is a Horizontal Media Mill?

Horizontal media mills, like our HSM Horizontal Media Mill, have a horizontally oriented grinding chamber. This design allows for a higher flow rate and increased throughput, making horizontal mills ideal for large-scale production runs. The horizontal configuration provides more direct and uniform grinding action, which can lead to faster processing times. Horizontal mills are often chosen for applications involving high-viscosity materials or when tight control over particle size distribution is necessary. They typically require more space and can be more complex to maintain, but their efficiency and capability to handle large volumes make them a preferred choice for many industrial processes.

For a milling option with a smaller footprint, the VSM Vertical Media Mill is an optimal choice. And for the best small-scale, laboratory bead mills on the market, visit our EMI Mills (formerly Eiger Mills) division to browse equipment options and to receive a quote!

How to Choose the Right Media Mill

There are many factors that impact horizontal media mill selection, including the specific application, desired particle size, material properties, available space, and others. In short, there is no one-size-fits-all solution. Contact our milling experts to discuss your application and production goals. Even if Schold is not the best fit, we can guide you to the optimal solution.
