Colloid mill

The basic principle behind a colloid mill involves a rotor and stator. The rotor rotates at high speed, creating a narrow gap between itself and the stationary stator. The material to be processed is forced through this gap, where it experiences intense shear, impact, and friction forces. This breaks down the particles or droplets into much finer sizes.

Key Features and Benefits

• Versatility: Handles a wide range of materials and viscosities.
• Fine Particle Size Reduction: Produces very fine and uniform particles or droplets.
• Emulsification and Homogenization: Creates stable emulsions and homogeneous mixtures.
• High Efficiency: Processes materials quickly and efficiently.
• Adjustable Gap: The gap between the rotor and stator can be adjusted to control the particle size.
• Sanitary Design: Many models are designed for easy cleaning and sterilization, making them suitable for food and pharmaceutical applications.

Applications Across Industries

Colloid mills find applications in numerous industries, including:

• Food Industry:
  • Production of sauces (e.g., sesame paste, peanut butter, tomato sauce, chili sauce)
  • Processing of dairy products (e.g., ice cream, cream)
  • Manufacturing of beverages (e.g., fruit juices, protein drinks, milk drinks)
  • Refining food additives.
• Pharmaceutical Industry:
  • Preparation of oral liquids, syrups, and ointments
  • Processing of traditional Chinese medicine.
• Cosmetics and Personal Care:
  • Manufacturing of lotions, creams, shampoos, and toothpaste.
• Chemical Industry:
  • Production of paints, coatings, and dyes
  • Manufacturing of lubricants and adhesives
  • production of emulsified asphalt.
• Other Industries:
  • Construction (e.g., processing asphalt emulsions)
  • Plastics and textiles
  • Paper manufacturing
  • Nano material processing.
