Frequently Asked Questions
Can the NEXGEN vacuum recirculation mill be connected to existing tanks?
Yes. The system can be connected to virtually any portable or permanent tank configuration.
Is the system suitable for laboratory work?
Yes. The dedicated Lab Model, as well as pilot-scale machines, supports process development and linear scale-up.
Does the NexGen Milling system require extensive floor space?
No. One key benefit is its compact footprint and minimal ceiling height requirement.
What makes the NEXGEN different from conventional bead mills?
The NEXGEN combines high-shear recirculation milling with vacuum deaeration, enabling simultaneous grinding and air removal, improving wetting efficiency, product quality, and processing speed.

DEAERATION: THE EFFECTS OF VACUUM
While milling under vacuum, small amounts of air entrapped within the agglomerates begin to expand and push apart the solids. The air separates from the solids and begins to accumulate in the mill’s upper chamber. Once enough air accumulates, it is purged intermittently by the mill, returning to the supply tank and quickly rising to the top where it is released.
