The Colloid Mill
The Colloid Mill is a high-shear mixer used for ultrafine grinding, emulsification, dispersion, and homogenization of fluid and semi-fluid materials. Designed to process products with precision, it reduces particle size to the micron or even submicron level by applying intense mechanical shear between a rapidly rotating rotor and a fixed stator.
This continuous, compact, and efficient system is widely used in the pharmaceutical, food, cosmetic, chemical, and biotech industries for producing creams, ointments, sauces, suspensions, and emulsions.
- High Shear Performance: Achieves uniform particle size reduction and stable emulsions.
- Rotor-Stator Design: Tight gap for controlled shearing, adjustable for different applications.
- Continuous Operation: Supports large volumes with uninterrupted processing.
- Sanitary Construction: Built with SS304/SS316 for hygienic applications.
- Compact & Versatile: Minimal footprint, easy to install and operate.
- Cooling Jacket (Optional): For temperature-sensitive materials.
- Pharmaceutical suspensions, ointments, gels
- Food sauces, dressings, spreads, and emulsions
- Cosmetic creams, lotions, and pastes
- Paints, dyes, pigments, and lubricants
- Bitumen emulsions and latex dispersions
- Bio-sample breakdown and cell rupture (biotech)
