The principle of colloid mill operation is rooted in fluid mechanics, where the narrow annular gap between rotor and stator creates a high velocity gradient. This generates intense shear stress within the fluid film, along with localized turbulence and micro-cavitation, which together overcome the cohesive and interfacial forces holding particles or droplets together, breaking them into much smaller, more uniformly dispersed units.
