Colloidal mill for fine grinding and homogenisation

Optimize your liquid and semi-solid processing by achieving precise particle size reduction and uniform homogenization, crucial for enhancing product consistency and quality in demanding production environments.

Grinds and Homogenizes Liquid to Viscous Products

The Colloidal Mill MCB from Bachiller is designed to deliver precise particle size reduction and homogenization for both liquid and semi-solid products. Utilising high-speed rotors closely set against a conical stator, the mill adjusts fineness through an electronic-controlled hand-wheel, ideal for consistent emulsions and dispersions. Common applications include pharmaceutical suspensions, cosmetic creams, and food emulsions, suitable for industries such as chemical, food processing, and biotechnology. With flow rates ranging from 0.5 to 10 m³/h and a drive capability up to 75 KW, this mill can accommodate high-demand operations. It integrates seamlessly into production lines with inline or off-line operations and offers mechanical tightness with a simple or double mechanical seal option. Constructed in stainless steel or corundum, it resists abrasion and offers compliance with cGMP and FDA standards for sanitary operations. Optional features include portable configurations with auxiliary pumps and ATEX certifications for specialized environments. With easy disassembly for maintenance and available customizations like rotor exchanges and grinding wheel modifications, the Colloidal Mill MCB offers versatile, reliable processing for diverse production needs.
