What is the colloidal mill?
colloidal mill is a hydraulic shear device used to create something called emulsification. Emulsification is a product of two different liquids that have different weights per volume. Two different weights create a hanging effect in a lighter liquid when it is added to the heavier of them.
The colloidal mill works to significantly reduce the size of suspended droplets and create a mixture in liquids that is much more uniform and complete. One application that requires the use of a colloidal mill is the variance of the solid particles in the liquid. The mill allows the solid particles to become so small that they seem to become part of the liquid itself.
The colloid milling process is done by adding heavier liquid to the mill chamber that performs the cut process. Once a heavier liquid is added, a lighter material, whether the beginning of the milling, a solid mass or a liquid of various viscosity is added. When the milling part of the function occurs, the materials are mixed together in the mill high speedting. As a result, the materials are more suitable for emulsified by contact with the mill teeth.
The mill teeth in some models rotates in the opposite direction. In other models, one tooth remains stationary, while two contradictory teeth rotate in close proximity to stationary. This proximity attracts both materials through itself as the teeth rotate, creating the amount of hydraulic skid needed to break both materials enough to connect to each other to the molecular level.
One of the most common uses of colloidal mill is in the emulsion-emulsion process of the liquid-themex. Latex colors must be mixed with solid pigments or oil -based pigments. Due to the dynamics of each substance used to create these toned and colored latex colors is the only way to break pigment particles down far enough to be emulsified to latex to make colored or tonedfight using a colloidal mill.
other applications in which colloidal mills are used is in homogenization processes; However, these processes are performed much slower than the processes of the emulsification process. Elements that are mixed with dairy products to be safe for human consumption must be added while the product is still in liquid form. These elements are often added, while liquid milk is in large container. VATS acts as colloidal mills and slowly turns the liquid over itself to mix any secondary elements thoroughly.
