Chemineer's Greerco Colloid Mill, is a highly efficient homogenising unit that rapidly and uniformly disperse solids and/or liquids, allowing the user to modify settings during operation for optimum process results. Capable of producing stable emulsions to the sub micron range by repeatedly reproducing unvarying particle-size accuracy and distribution for any emulsion or suspension, the Greerco Colloid Mill has several design benefits that eliminate the need for costly add-ons, which seemingly cheaper units invariable require soon after purchase. Suitable for a wide variety of coating applications,including printing inks, colour dispersion and silicone emulsions, it is available as a horizontal unit for continuous in-line processing, or as a mobile vertical mixer, with hopper for batch production. Chemineer can also design and custom-build one-off hopper units to meet precise process requirements. The highly versatile Greerco Colloid Mill can be provided in a full range of sizes,from small R&D, to large-scale batch operations. Supplied (optional) as cleaned in place (CIP) or sterilised in place (SIP) for sensitive applications,this comprehensive Chemineer range is fitted with two options of Rotor/Stator combinations. The standard Rotor Stator is ideal for most emulsions and dispersions, while the special grooved Rotor/Stator is designed for viscous emulsions. This unit reduces the dispersed phase droplets to an extremely small size – usually 2 m or less, with many droplets in the sub micron range.
