Colloid mill CLM-100.3
The CLM-100.3 colloid mill turns raw ingredients into a smooth, paste-like consistency – producing a thick, high-shear slurry ideal for demanding food production processes.
How It Works
At the heart of the CLM-100.3 is a rotor/stator system: two concentric rings of precision-engineered tools (cutters and knives) with specially designed grooves and holes.
The rotor spins at speeds of up to 50 m/s, passing the stator in a completely contact-free rotation — made possible by precise technological gaps between the two rings. No friction, no wear from direct contact, just controlled mechanical force.
The process:
- Product enters the operating chamber through the stator’s axial bore
- It passes through the rotor/stator system, where intense hydrodynamic forces take hold
- Refined product exits radially through the outlet
Why It Delivers Results
As the product moves through the rotor/stator gap, it experiences rapid shifts in shear stress, shear force, and flow velocity. This does more than just grind — it dramatically increases the contact surface area of the ingredients, which:
- Speeds up chemical reactions between mixed components
- Achieves intensive dispersion and emulsification
- Delivers fine, consistent homogenization
- Produces uniform grinding and pulverization
The result is a stable, high-quality end product – every batch, every time.

* – Depends on the product flowability and the tool gap setting
- Compact size.
- Design components of the mill wetted portion are made of stainless, chemical resistant steel.
- The mill can be equipped with rotor/stator tooling of various designs and with different numbers of processing stages (rings), depending on the type of material being processed and the required processing effect (nozzle, chamber, and conical for grinding applications or viscous products). The tooling can be either collapsible or manufactured from a solid workpiece using various grades of steel, depending on the mill application.
- The mill can be operated both indoors and in sheltered outdoor environments.
