COLLOID MILL A Colloid Mill machine is an ideal and perfect homogenizercum- emulsifier. It finds its application in various processes like grinding, homogenizing, emulsifying, dispersing, mixing, extracting etc., catering to the needs of several industries; such as  Pharmaceutical Industry  Food, Dairy, Confectionery Industry  Chemical Industry  Paint Industry  Textile Industry  Cosmetic And Detergent Industry  Rubber Industry  Starch Industry  Paper Industry CONSTRUCTION Jicon colloid mill is driven by a vertical high-speed motor, which along with a stainless steel housing, provides working area of the mill. Cylindrical stator assembly and the conical rotor assembly having two different tooth stages are co-axial. The stator assembly can be axially moved up or down permitting to axially adjust the grinding gap to an accuracy of 0.10 mm. The opening or closing of this gap is calibrated on a scale. One rotation of the adjusting ring corresponds to a grinding gap of 0.5 mm. Outstanding and rigid design and construction combined with excellent quality of workmanship ensures superior end product, suitable for continuous operation over long periods of time. OPERATION In colloid mill the product is subjected to high shearing, cutting, and rubbing forces between two toothed surfaces. The product, while passing down the hopper, initially gets sized in the preliminary breaking drum where it is broken and thrown into the first stator tooth stage. Due to conical arrangement and the centrifugal effect of the rotor rotating at a speed of 2800 r.p.m., the material is forced into second tooth stage. The tooth design of the grinding set causes powerful transients that subject the particle with high forces, Intensity of which increases as product reaches the lowest grinding stage. The ground material continuously leaves the mill through the outlet pipe and if required, can be recirculated.
