Particle size reduction mill.

The MKO 2000 Cone Mill deagglomerates hard to mill materials such as crystals and pigments. The conical design of the rotor and stator combine with special abrasive coatings to exceed the wet milling and grinding capabilities of typical colloid mills, according to the company. The Cone Mill is said to be ideally suited for applications including the processing of carbon black, color pigments, polymers, coatings, and more. The conical rotor and stator of the mixing tool use spiral shaped teeth for pre-milling and a coarse surface coating for fine milling. This combination provides the grinding action of a stone mill with the fluid dispersing capabilities of a colloid mill. The results are said to be superior to both, including better distribution and finer particle size. The Cone Mill is said to effectively eliminate the need for multiple passes and expensive preprocessing incurred when processing hard materials, and significantly reduces manufacturing costs, according to the manufacturer. The Cone Mill is said to be flexible. Since the rotor and stator are both conical, and separated by an adjustable gap, the amount of milling action can be set according to the requirements of the application. (IKA Works)
