Dynopack Multilab Bead Mill

Applications & Use Cases

• Wet ultrafine grinding and dispersion of solids in liquid suspensions.
• Processing of pigments, dyes, and inks for consistent colour and particle size.
• Milling of pharmaceutical active ingredients and excipients for enhanced bioavailability.
• Production of fine chemicals, agrochemicals, and cosmetic formulations.
• Development and small-batch production in research and laboratory settings.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

For a tabletop unit of this class, processing volumes are typically in the range of 0.5 to 5 litres.

Power supply

This unit is specified as 3-phase, 3.3kW, which is common for industrial laboratory or small-scale production equipment.

Milling media

Units of this type typically utilise ceramic, glass, or zirconia beads, with sizes commonly ranging from 0.1mm to 2mm depending on the desired fineness.

Footprint

As a tabletop bead mill, the footprint is generally compact, suitable for laboratory benches or small production areas.

Materials of construction

Wetted parts are commonly made from stainless steel, ceramics, or polymers to ensure chemical compatibility and prevent contamination.

Cooling system

Bead mills typically incorporate a cooling system, often jacketed, to manage heat generated during the milling process and protect temperature-sensitive products.
