Zirconia Beads - High Performance Media For Efficient Milling
Zirconia Beads are an ideal grinding media choice for high viscosity or high solid formulations like automotive water based top coats due to their superior wear performance. Before loading zirconia silicate beads into your milling machine, make sure they are free of broken and deformed particles that could reduce process efficiency as well as shorten its lifespan. Doing this can ensure optimal process performance as well as prolonged media life.
High Density
Zirconia Silicate beads are an ideal solution for applications requiring high-speed, contamination free micro fine milling and dispersion, such as chemicals, agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, ceramics minerals frits graphite batteries paints and printing ink dispersal. Zirconia Silicate beads excel at this task especially well! They're great at milling and dispersing chemicals agrochemicals pharmaceuticals cosmetics ceramics minerals frits graphite advanced ceramic materials batteries paints and printing inks!
Particle size plays an essential role in bead life when selecting zirconium macro milling media. Larger beads can withstand more impacts and last longer; however, smaller-sized beads cover more surface area faster and thus reduce grinding times overall.
Contacting the manufacturer for guidance in selecting a size of zirconia media would be highly advised, while regular inspection of media state during your process should also be performed to maintain product quality, improve efficiency, and minimize heat generated during milling processes.
High Breakage Resistance
When not operated efficiently, zirconia silicate media can become damaged and cause less efficiency in milling processes. To ensure high-quality zirconia silicate media is used during grinding sessions and visual inspection before and after loading them into your grinder machine can help identify any misshapen materials which might hinder efficiency in this way.
Selecting an optimal zirconium bead size for your process can increase its efficiency and help ensure its success. There is a wide selection of sizes on the market to match your processing needs; simply choose one that works. Media life depends upon what product or material is being ground down; if it has high viscosity levels then more frequent media changes may be necessary compared to when processing material with lower viscosities.
High Resistance to Heat
Yttria stabilized zirconia offers superior stability and resistance to high temperatures, making it the ideal material for processes requiring temperature regulation. This quality makes Yttria-stabilized zirconia particularly valuable to pharmaceutical industries that must produce many identical particle sizes such as active ingredients for medicines.
zirconia beads also possess excellent chemical inertness, being nonreactive with lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) used in battery production. This reduced risk of impurities that could negatively impact battery performance and lifespan.
our stabilized zirconia media balls can be utilized in many milling and dispersion applications, including manufacturing inks and paints using Inovatec's horizontal or vertical sand mill to disperse their products, grinding CaCO3 minerals into powder, or dispersing various nonmetallic minerals like CaCO3. When selecting zirconia media for your grinding process it is crucial that the correct size media be selected - larger media will last longer while being less costly to purchase than their smaller counterparts.
Easy to Clean
Zirconia Beads are ideal for use in wet grinding processes as they are resistant to corrosion or oxidation and won't contaminate the slurry, making them suitable for milling pharmaceutical products or lighter paint colors and coatings which would discolor if steel media is employed as milling media.
These beads require less processing time, enabling you to bring your product faster to market. However, if your application requires high gloss finishes then additional processing steps may need to be undertaken for longer.
If you are uncertain of the ratio that's right for your application, consult with a professional to make sure you use enough media to maximize performance of your process and deliver consistent, high-quality results every time. Regular cleaning of YSZ media also plays an essential part in maintaining a safe working environment and minimizing contamination risks when switching materials or batches.
