DYNO®-MILL Research Lab
The smallest-scale development mill.
Built for formulation research and tiny precious batches, process from 100 ml fully metal-free, develop a recipe, then scale it onto the production range with confidence.

HIGHLIGHTS
Tiny batches, full-scale insight.
Minimal product loss
Grind from 100 ml, ideal for expensive actives and early development where every gram counts.
Completely metal-free
Ceramic contact parts (ZrO₂, SiC) for pharma, electronics and contamination-critical work.
Scales cleanly
Same grinding geometry as the production range, results transfer predictably as you scale up.
ENGINEERING OVERVIEW
The DYNO®-MILL Research Lab is purpose-built for the earliest stages of product development, where sample material is scarce and exceptionally valuable. With a minimum batch volume of just 100 ml, it allows formulators to characterise grinding behaviour, additive systems and target particle size before committing to larger trials. Critically, the RL shares the same horizontal grinding geometry as WAB production machines. Process parameters established on the bench, specific energy input, peripheral speed and residence time, translate directly to KD, UBM and ECM-AP mills, removing guesswork from scale-up and shortening time to market.
OPERATING PRINCIPLE
A rotating agitator-disc shaft transfers energy to the grinding beads within a sealed horizontal chamber. The product is pumped through the bead bed, where shear and impact forces reduce particle size; a dynamic gap separator retains the media as finished product exits.
- Fully ceramic, metal-free wetted parts (ZrO₂ / SiC)
- Closed-circuit cooling for temperature-sensitive actives
- Batch and recirculation operating modes

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
Where the RL fits
Pair with the right grinding beads
The RL runs best with fine Zirconox zirconia-ceria beads. We supply both the mill and the media.
