FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is ceramic grinding media?
Ceramic grinding media are hard, wear-resistant beads, balls and cylinders – typically zirconia, zirconium silicate, alumina, steatite or glass – loaded into a bead mill, ball mill or attritor to grind and disperse particles by impact and shear. Unlike steel media they add no iron to the product.
Which types of grinding media do you supply?
Klausen supplies the full Jyoti Ceramic range: Zirconox ceria-stabilised zirconia beads (6.05 g/cm³), Zircosil zirconium silicate beads (4.0 g/cm³), Duralox 92W and 997 alumina beads, balls and cylinders (3.6–3.9 g/cm³), Steatite balls and cylinders (2.6 g/cm³), lead-free glass beads (2.5 g/cm³) and alumina or steatite ball mill lining bricks.
Which grinding media should I use in a ball mill?
For ceramic-lined ball mills, Duralox alumina balls and cylinders (Ø up to 50 mm) are the most common choice; Steatite is used where iron pick-up must be as low as possible, for example white pigments and ceramic glazes. Pair them with Duralox or steatite lining bricks.
Which grinding media should I use in a bead mill?
Horizontal and vertical bead mills normally run 0.05–4.0 mm beads: Zirconox zirconia for the finest, lowest-wear grinding, Zircosil zirconium silicate as the value choice for paints, inks and minerals, and glass beads for economical low-viscosity dispersion.
