• Product name: DynoMill ECM-AP Series

mandating smaller and tighter particle size distributions in size reduction applications. To that end, the DynoMill ECM-AP Series has been designed to provide smaller more consistent results. The ECM-AP is a fast, efficient mill for continuous dispersion and wet fine grinding. Main applications are paints, inks, pigments, dyes, fillers and agrochemicals. The advanced design of the DynoMill ECM-AP promotes high product flow rates with material from low to high viscosity. The design works equally well with medias of all size range and types. The clear advantages of the DynoMill ECM-AP are very high throughput rates, wide range of viscosities, long screen life and easily produces submicron particle sizes. PLC controls assure easy operator interface and include self-diagnosis of process faults and automatic announcements of preventative maintenance schedules.

• Product name: Steel Balls and Steel Shots The second most dense grinding media to tungsten carbide ( 15.0 g/cc0 is steel ( 7.0- 7. 9 g/cc). These are used where high solids loading or high viscosity concerns require a media that can plough through the suspension and still give a good grind of dark materials. These are offered in two vari-eties: steel shot and steel balls bearings

(burnishing balls). For small diameters of 0.2 mm to 2.0 mm, the steel shot in both sizes 0.5mm to one inch (1”) in various alloys of stainless, chrome and carbon steel.
