Process Engineering
Working Principle
- 1
A laboratory pin-type bead mill pumps product through a small chamber filled with zirconia media agitated by a pin-type rotor.
- 2
Pins impart motion to the media, creating a velocity gradient so beads collide and shear against one another; particles caught in those contacts are broken by compression and shear across many small grinding events.
- 3
Because the chamber volume is small, the machine reaches nano-scale fineness on sample quantities while keeping specific energy and residence time controllable.
- 4
The same rotor geometry as production machines allows validated parameters to transfer on scale-up.

Equipment Guidance
Frequently Asked Questions
What fineness can the Laboratory Pin Type Bead Mill reach?
Depending on media size, rotor geometry and the number of passes, the Laboratory Pin Type Bead Mill reaches sub-100 nm to 2 micron depending on media. The endpoint is confirmed on your own material in a trial run, so the configuration matches your formulation rather than a catalogue figure.
What grinding media does the Laboratory Pin Type Bead Mill use?
The mill runs with high-purity zirconia or ceramic media selected to the target fineness and the separator opening. Chamber and rotor options are chosen to suit the material; product-contact parts are Stainless steel or ceramic-lined option.
What capacity and power does the Laboratory Pin Type Bead Mill cover?
Capacity is 0.2 - 1 L, with motor power 1.1 - 4 kW. The model is selected from your batch volume, solids loading and required cycle time.
Which materials is the Laboratory Pin Type Bead Mill used for?
Typical duties cover Battery Materials, Printing Inks, Ceramics. POLYC reviews your material data before recommending a chamber, media size and pass count.
How do I select the right configuration?
Provide the material type, starting and target particle size, solids loading, batch volume and required throughput. POLYC returns a configuration with media recommendation and an expected pass count.

What manufacturers say about working with POLYC MACHINE
These summaries reflect published application cases. Company names and roles are representative of the industries we serve.
“
The plaster and wall-material production line supplied by POLYC MACHINE integrated premixing, milling and transfer in one compact route. We reached consistent fineness across batches, and the local technical line made after-sales support responsive.
“
For our short gravure-ink runs, the small-batch grinding and dispersion route from POLYC MACHINE gave repeatable colour and fast changeover. The trial plan proposed before manufacture confirmed our fineness window without over-specifying the machine.
“
Our 1000L basket mill from POLYC MACHINE handles pigment and ink batches with the temperature control we needed for heat-sensitive formulations. Across multiple sites, the consistent basket-mill configuration simplified operator training and spare-parts planning.
