EMImills - Engineered Mills, Inc., Grayslake, Illinois, USA manufactures laboratory bead mills, mixers and dispersers as well as production bead mills for wet milling, fine grinding and dispersing of liquid and paste products. There is a strong emphasis on bead mills for product research, quality controls and technical service applications. Included are horizontal bead mills, mixers, dispersers, homogenizers, chillers and grinding media. Testing laboratory and demonstration equipment are available at its USA site.

Made in America sold throughout the world.

Markets Served:

EMI started in the paint, colorants and coatings industry providing bead mills for the production of high quality products. The same technology was then sold into other industries that benefited from the fine grinding technology.

These have included inks, dyes, catalysts, conductive coatings, fuel cell, agrochemicals, food products, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and advanced nano dispersions. Laboratory research companies in all markets was addressed with bead mills that can process samples as little as 50 ml’s.

Technologies:

Bead mills for laboratory research, quality control and technical service applications have be advanced to allow the development of nano dispersions below 100 nanometers. Small sample, pilot scale, small batch production or full scale production can be achieved using the data generated from the use of the equipment line.

Technical Services:

Over 40 years of experience in wet milling and dispersion technology is available to assist customers with their dispersion processing.

Knowledgeable sales and technical support staff are available as well as the corporate based R&D laboratory to process and evaluate customer dispersion samples to see what process might work best for their applications.

• Laboratory Mini Series Mills for product research using mini-
mum amounts of raw materials
• Pilot Scale Mill for small batch production and to assist in
scale up to production.
• Horizontal Bead Mill for full scale paint and colorant manu-
facture.
