Laboratory basket mill for fine grinding in industrial applications
Optimize your laboratory’s efficiency with high-precision fine grinding technology, ideal for achieving consistent particle sizes in research and development environments.
Disperses and Grinds Low-Viscosity Products
The KREIS-BASKET-MILL® series from Wilhelm Niemann, featuring models KBM 31-3,0 and KBM 48-5,4 FU, specializes in dispersing and fine grinding for industries such as paint, varnish, and chemicals. This equipment utilizes a height-adjustable, demountable grinding basket with peripheral speeds and integrated cooling to enhance both efficiency and product quality. Ideal for applications ranging from industrial paints to fine inks, it accommodates batch sizes of 1 to 45 liters depending on viscosity. The system offers advanced automation with options for viscosity-dependent speed control and recipe-controlled PLC operations, enabling seamless integration into existing production lines. Constructed from wear-resistant materials, it also features continuous temperature monitoring and optional vacuum design to ensure consistency and safety. The units are compatible with KREISIT® milling beads for optimal wet grinding performance, making them a versatile choice for varied production needs.
