Bead mill APS

Modular milling system for DISPERMAT® dissolver available in vacuum, pressure, ceramic and nano version.

When combined with the modular APS Milling System and a suitable impeller a DISPERMAT® laboratory dissolver is converted into a closed, batch bead mill.

The milling system APS is suitable for product quantities between 12 and 3000 ml. For larger product quantities we recommend the basket mill TML.

DISPERMAT® LC30 as batch - bead mill with modular milling system APS.

DISPERMAT® LC55 with the modular bead mill in ceramic design. Options: nano, pressure and vacuum version.

The scraper arm is pressed against the inner wall of the container by spring pressure – also high viscous products are conveyed over and over again towards the container bottom.

Milling impeller, sieve and container are available in SiSiC and ZrO2.

The closed vertical bead mill is available as follows:

Bead mill APS: Basic version for 0,5 mm milling beads. Also available in vacuum, pressure, ceramic and nano version.
Bead mill APS nano: Version for extremely small beads from 0,1 mm to 1 mm. Also available in vacuum, pressure and ceramic version .
Bead mill APS ceramic: Milling impeller, sieve and the insert part of the container are available in SiSiC or ZrO2. Also available in vacuum, pressure and nano version.
Bead mill APS vacuum: Fine grinding in a completely closed system under vacuum. Also available in ceramic and nano version.
Bead mill APS pressure: Modular bead mill designed for pressurized operation. Also available in ceramic and nano version.

Dispersing and fine grinding combined in one single instrument

In combination with a milling system APS the laboratory dissolver DISPERMAT® changes into a closed, discontinuously operating bead mill. The system is easily adapted to the corresponding dissolver via the dissolver shaft or the adapter flange. The DISPERMAT® can be used as a dissolver as well as a bead mill.

The milling process with closed vertical bead mill APS:

The Milling System APS can easily be fitted to the DISPERMAT® laboratory dissolver. It is filled with the appropriate quantity of millbase. The milling toll is lowered.

The milling beads are introduced whilst the milling slowly rotates.

The sliding cover is lowered to seal the milling container. The millbase is then dispersed. The cover can be easily raised for taking samples during the dispersion process.

On completion of the dispersion process, the sieve sealing plug is removed and the milling container is discharged with assistance of compressed air.

Advantages of modular milling systems APS:

Closed, easy to use milling systems,
Simple and secure handling,
High material yield due to pneumatic press-out-system,
Double walled milling container for cooling or heating,
Cooling liquid is contained by self-sealing quick couplers,
Mill base separation from bead charge by a sieve, integrated in the base of the container,
Sealing of sieve by simple plug system,
Interchangeable milling tool

Closed vertical bead mill – environment-friendly and efficient milling technology

Dispersion in a closed system,
Low energy consumption,
Very easy to clean,
Fast change of grinding stock
