BASKET MILL PERMILL BASKETMILL

Product Overview

Description

The basket mill is a submersible milling unit that will achieve particle size reduction without the use of
hard-to-clean pumps, hoses, and tanks. The basket mill allows a greater amount of material to pass
through the milling chamber more often resulting in a narrower particle size distribution and stronger
pigment strength in a shorter amount of time.

The Myers Basket Mill is comprised of two shafts. The main shaft is the basket /
media agitator shaft and the second is the batch agitator shaft.

The Media agitator shaft has a hub with several agitator pins. The pins agitate
the media creating a rolling vortex within the basket. As the material falls into
the basket through the opening in the top, it enters into the high-energy zone of
the vortex and is pumped through the moving media in a radial flow. As the
product passes through the media it is ground by the slipping and rolling action
of the media. The material then passes through the screen that separates the
media from the batch and washes against the cooling shroud. This helps remove
heat build-up that was generated from the product passing through the mill
chamber. The material then passes down the side of the cooling shroud and back
into the batch where it is agitated and sent back through the milling chamber.

The batch agitator’s function is to assist in keeping the batch from settling and to
keep the material mixed while it is waiting for its next pass through milling
chamber. The Myers mill is complete with controls for the mill agitator comprising of a tachometer, amp
meter, s/s/s dial and jog push button with a start/stop/speed potentiometer dial for the batch agitator.
