Milling beads for wet grinding in paint industry
Enhance product uniformity and grinding efficiency with specialized milling beads, ideal for achieving precise particle sizes in demanding wet grinding applications.
Enhances Grinding Efficiency and Consistency
The KREISIT® Milling Beads from WILHELM NIEMANN GmbH & Co. are specially formulated density-optimized zirconium oxide beads designed for efficient wet grinding applications. Leveraging cerium stabilization, these beads exhibit exceptional hardness and wear resistance, making them the ideal choice for high-intensity milling in paints, varnishes, and various chemical industries. They are engineered to work seamlessly with the KREIS-BASKET-MILL® systems, ensuring optimal particle size reduction and uniformity in low- to medium-viscosity formulations. With sizes ranging from Ø 0.4 to 2.4 mm, the beads are suited for a wide range of applications, including automotive-repair paints, protective coatings, and printing inks. Designed for longevity and reduced contamination risks, they provide efficient milling while minimizing energy consumption and bead breakage. Their non-porous, gas-tight surface ensures consistent performance and easy cleaning, facilitating seamless integration into both batch and continuous processing operations.
