Product catalog summary
Overview of NETZSCH Discus Grinding System
The NETZSCH Discus Grinding System is a high-performance agitator bead mill designed for efficient grinding with a disk agitator. It features a high length/diameter ratio, various grinding disk geometries, and a highly-efficient grinding bead separation system, allowing for application-specific machine design. The system guarantees high throughput rates with consistent stress intensity and optimized grinding media movement for increased power input and production output.
System Specifications and Models
The Discus Grinding System is available in various models, from lab-scale to large-scale production, with capacities ranging from 0.07 liters to over 2,000 liters. The system offers reliable scale-up, a variety of sizes, and features such as a high length/diameter ratio, efficient grinding media separation, and optimized cooling water flow. The models include Labstar, Discus 4, Discus 20/30, Discus 60, Discus 150, Discus 200, Discus 300, Discus 500, and Discus 1000, each with specific drive power and throughput rates.
Performance and Efficiency
The system allows for variable power density and the use of different grinding bead sizes (0.4 - 7 mm). It ensures maximum volume throughput and optimized cooling efficiency, leading to reproducible product quality and low operating costs. The system supports upgrades from TriNex® to TeTraNex® disk geometry for enhanced performance.
Separation System
The DCC preclassifying separation system is key to the Discus Grinding System, allowing the use of grinding beads of various densities and sizes up to 0.4 mm. It ensures stable operational performance, minimizes grinding media wear, and reduces maintenance work and downtimes.
TeTraNex® Grinding System
The TeTraNex® grinding system, available in standard and Plus versions, enhances energy input and production output by up to 30%. The Cool Plus package offers improved cooling efficiency with a grinding tank made of NETZSCH-ceram C, facilitating maximum heat transfer and maintaining low product temperatures.
Material Options and Applications
The system offers a range of grinding tank materials, including chilled cast iron, wear-resistant steel, stainless steel, and various ceramics, to ensure product compatibility and low-wear operation. Applications include printing inks, coatings, pigments, textiles, ceramics, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and food products.
Global Presence
NETZSCH is an international technology company with a presence in 36 countries, offering customized solutions in analyzing, testing, grinding, dispersing, and pumps. The company is committed to providing exceptional performance and customer service worldwide.
