What is a sand mill?

The sand mill represents industrial equipment used to crush the material into fine particles. Sand Mills can be used for many different purposes and can also create various components during the crushing process.

How does a sand mill work?

Sand mills are vertical bead mills which are used for particle size reduction and dispersing of pigments in liquids in the paint, ink & coating industries. The material to be processed is pumped from the bottom of the mill into the milling chamber which is filled with grinding media.

What does a ball mill do?

A ball mill, a type of grinder, is a cylindrical device used in grinding (or mixing) materials like ores, chemicals, ceramic raw materials and paints. Ball mills rotate around a horizontal axis, partially filled with the material to be ground plus the grinding medium.

What is one of the disadvantages of ball mill method?

Disadvantages of Ball Mills 1. Contamination of product may occur as a result of wear and tear which occurs principally from the balls and partially from the casing. 2. High machine noise level especially if the hollow cylinder is made of metal, but much less if rubber is used.

How are sand mills used in the paint industry?

The Sand Mills are mainly used by coating, ink and paint industries for the size reduction and dispersing of pigments in the liquids. The pigment particles are dispersed up to 2 microns in a single pass.

Which is the best type of sand mill?

Come to us for buying requirement of Vertical Sand Mill: Open Type Sand Mills & Closed Type Sand Mills. Our Sand Mills mainly used in the paint, ink & coating industries for size reduction and dispersing of pigments in liquids. Pigments Particle size reduction up to 2 microns are possible in a single pass.

How is pigment dispersed in a sand mill?

The pigment particles are dispersed up to 2 microns in a single pass. The milling chamber is fitted with grinding media, where the feed is pumped from the bottom chamber. The material moves upwards and subjected to high shearing force, which results in the finely ground material.

How does an open type sand mill work?

Grinding process of open type sand mills ensures uniform mixture of several components. Sand mills designed for water based emulsions are exported by us. In this equipment, slurry is passed through the sand mill and the emulsion is then added as well as mixed in a slow speed stirrer.
