Technical Information

High performance grinding beads from ceramics with its unique characteristics allow advanced system solution and high efficiency in chemistry and technics. Moreover they have an optimum chemical resistence.

Glass grinding beads are used when no special demands for grinding and dispersing need to be met.

Steel is known for its extreme hardness, high wear resistance and chemical constancy. The balls are used for hard crushing and rough grinding, but also for mixing heavy materials.
