SPECIFICATIONS
- A machine that is used to reduce the particle size of a solid in suspension in a liquid, or to reduce the droplet size of a liquid suspended in another liquid.
- Colloid mills work on the rotor-stator principle: a rotor Turns at high speeds (2000-18000 RPM)
- The resulting high levels of hydraulic shear applied to The process liquid disrupt structures in the fluid.
- Colloid mills are frequently used to increase the stability Of suspensions and emulsions. But can also be used to Reduce the particle size of solids in suspensions.
- Higher shear rates lead to smaller droplets, down to Approximately which are more resistant to emulsion Separation.
