Colloid Mill (Industrial Wet Milling & Emulsifying Machine)
A Colloid Mill is a wet milling machine that reduces and disperses solids inside a liquid by forcing the product through the narrow gap between a fast-turning rotor and a fixed stator.
About the Colloid Mill
Colloid mills are used wherever a product has to be fine, uniform and stable in liquid form: sauces, ketchup and mayonnaise, nut butters, ointments and creams, syrups and suspensions, cosmetic emulsions, and paint, ink and chemical dispersions. ART Mechatronics supplies colloid mills with an adjustable rotor-stator setting, hygienic construction options, and inline or recirculation arrangements to suit the process line.

Buyers search for this equipment under many terms — we manufacture all of them:
Working Principle of Colloid Mill
Pre-mixed liquid, slurry or paste enters the mill through:
Product is forced through the narrow gap between:
Shear breaks down particles and droplets
The clearance between rotor and stator is set to control how fine the product becomes.
Lets the same mill handle different products
Solid and liquid phases are dispersed into a uniform mixture inside:
Gives a smooth, stable emulsion or suspension
Milled product is passed onward, or returned for a further pass, through:
Contact parts are cleaned between products using:
Optional CIP connection for hygienic duty
