HIGHLIGHTS
One platform, lab through to production.
Truly scalable
Identical grinding geometry from 0.5 to 250 L means a proven recipe reproduces at full scale.
Lowest cost of ownership
High wear resistance and efficient energy transfer cut media, power and downtime.
Flexible separation
Configurable bead separation handles a wide range of bead sizes and products.
ENGINEERING OVERVIEW
The DYNO®-MILL UBM (Universal Bead Mill) is WAB’s latest-generation platform, engineered to deliver a single, consistent grinding geometry from 0.5-litre laboratory units to 250-litre production machines. This continuity allows a process developed at small scale to be reproduced on the plant floor with confidence, eliminating the costly re-optimisation that scale-up traditionally demands. The UBM combines high wear resistance, efficient energy transfer and configurable bead separation to achieve the lowest total cost of ownership in the WAB range. It accepts a wide spectrum of bead sizes and product viscosities, making it a genuinely universal solution for coatings, inks, minerals, agrochemicals and advanced battery and electronic materials.
OPERATING PRINCIPLE
An optimised agitator system transfers energy uniformly across the grinding chamber, producing intense yet even bead activation. Product passes through the bead bed in continuous or recirculation mode, with a separation system configured to the bead size and throughput.
- Identical geometry from 0.5 to 250 L
- Configurable separation for fine and coarse beads
- Abrasion-resistant steel and ceramic wetted parts
