The colloid mill definition commonly used in pharmaceutics describes it as a mechanical device that uses high shear to reduce the particle size of solids in a liquid medium or to disperse one liquid within another, producing emulsions, suspensions, and colloidal dispersions. It operates on the rotor-stator principle and is widely used for size reduction below what conventional mixers can achieve.
