Colloid Milling
Milling various materials is one of the oldest processing activities that still exists today in modern manufacturing environments. The reduction of particle size in dispersions (solid-in-liquid) or droplet size in emulsions (liquid-in-liquid) is done by applying hydraulic and mechanical shear to various process ingredients. Likwifier colloid mills (formerly Bematek) are recognized as the equipment of choice for increasing the stability of suspensions or emulsions in today’s complex homogenizing processes.
The Likwifier CZ Sanitary and CK Industrial series provide manufacturers with simple, repeatable colloid milling capabilities, for fine-emulsion stability and dispersion uniformity.
The Likwifier advantage is simplicity, along with a proven colloid milling chamber design. This colloid mill is the simplest on the market today and has established a strong presence in the pharmaceutical, food and beverage, cosmetics and personal care, and chemical industries. Maintenance and process configuration of the mill chamber is easy with minimal parts to handle. Other mills are very complex and require the handling of many components to access internals or simply make gap settings. Additionally, Likwifier proprietary rotor/stator profiles, designed for specific applications, deliver confidence and a cost-effective means for finished-product control and stability.
