A bead mill is needed when the required dispersion result cannot be achieved on a high‒speed disperser. A bead mill will further break down the solid particles and improve the dispersion result.
A bead mill differs from the high‒speed disperser used to prepare the millbase by using small ceramic beads to mechanically break down of solid particles and improve the dispersion result. A bead mill consists of a milling chamber containing small ceramic beads and a milling rotor that is driven by a motor.




The dispersion result is affected by the speed of the milling rotor, the size of the beads and the speed at which the product is passed through the mill. A bead mill can be used to disperse the product in either a single pass, or several individual passes, or be set up to continuously circulate the product which is known as re‒circulation milling.
