Initially the feedstock is loaded into a hopper then it flows into the cutting mechanism, goes through a rotor-stator gap, gets milled and goes out through a nozzle. \u00a0The range of materials that can be processed by colloid mills is quite wide: bitumen, dairy products, pharmaceuticals, and many more.<\/p>\n<p><b><i>GlobeCore<\/i><\/b> produces colloid mills that can be used in road construction, chemical, food, construction, engineering, and oil industries. \u00a0\u00a0<b><i>GlobeCore<\/i><\/b> &#8211; is the key to high-quality grinding, emulsification, dispersion and homogenization of different materials to suit all the requirements of the technological process!<\/p>\n<p>Every customer gets an individual approach!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Colloid mill is a technical device used for high fineness grinding, dispersion, emulsification and preparation of homogeneous solutions.
