Basket mill for paint and varnish production
Achieve optimal particle size and product consistency with this advanced basket mill, designed for efficient mixing, dispersing, and fine grinding in the manufacturing process.
Processes and Grinds Low to Medium-Viscosity Products
The KREIS-BASKET-MILL® from NIEMANN is a versatile basket mill engineered to enhance your production line’s precision in mixing and fine grinding. It operates with a unique gas-proofed cover system, facilitating batch production of low to medium-viscosity products with particle sizes below 5 μm. Widely applicable across the paint, varnish, chemical, and cosmetic industries, it serves in producing epoxy paints, marine coatings, and printing inks. With batch sizes ranging from 1 to 5000 liters and driving powers of 2.2 to 160 kW, this mill is built for flexibility.
Equipped with a height-adjustable and cooled grinding basket, it ensures efficient energy use and temperature control, while the frequency converter allows for viscosity-dependent speed adjustments. Material options ensure durability and chemical compatibility, with wear-proof components extending longevity. Integrating seamlessly with your production, it supports PLC-controlled automation and features a patented grinding bead separation system for optimal operational efficiency. With options for ATEX-compliant configurations, the KREIS-BASKET-MILL® meets rigorous industry standards, offering reliable performance for your specific processing needs.
