Immersion mill for particle reduction
Achieve streamlined particle size reduction and enhanced mixture homogeneity with immersion milling technology, ensuring consistent quality and rapid processing in liquid formulations.
Processes and Mixes Liquid Formulations Efficiently
The HCP Immersion Mill from Hockmeyer Equipment Corporation revolutionizes particle reduction for chemical and coating industries, utilizing rapid recirculation to achieve uniform particle distribution in liquid formulations. Designed to handle a variety of viscosities, it efficiently processes pigments, emulsions, and polymer suspensions in batch or continuous modes. The mill supports capacities from 250 ml to 800 gallons, seamlessly integrating into existing production lines with its multi-tank capability. Energy-efficient recirculation and variable media sizes minimize solvent use while enhancing color development. Constructed to endure corrosive environments, it offers materials including stainless steel and Hastelloy. Optimized for minimal cross-contamination and ease of cleaning, the system ensures high throughput and reliable performance.
