Ink agitator mill Centex

for industrial paintbeadwith agitator

Overview
The Centex full-volume bead mill delivers high productivity for wet-grinding applications by combining an optimized chamber design with EcoMizer agitator disks to improve product quality while lowering specific energy consumption and grinding costs.

Key benefits

• Maximum efficiency: Reverse-feeding EcoMizer agitator disks produce a homogeneous bead distribution, maximising energy efficiency.
• Best performance: Advanced design yields improved product quality and extended service life.
• Better productivity: Efficient bead separation and a large screen surface enable higher throughput without compromising quality.

Product features

• Centex productivity — Reduced processing time and production costs: EcoMizer agitator disks allow narrow particle size distribution and higher flow capability without compression of the grinding beads.
• Bead separation — More efficient grinding processes: Smart chamber and screen design keep beads away from the screen, enabling the use of smaller beads for improved efficiency.
• Large screen surface — Higher throughput: The large screen area lowers chamber pressure and reduces temperature buildup, supporting increased flow rates.

Automation and integration

• Sophisticated control options: Optional touchscreen display with control algorithms for faster setup and repeatability, or a simpler version with basic controls and alarms.
• Process engineering support: Assistance to integrate Centex into existing processes or plants for efficient implementation.

Application possibilities

• Printing inks
• Paints and coatings
• Wet grinding and dispersing
