GRINDING TECHNICS
TECHNICAL INFORMATION TO GRINDING BODIES, BALLS AND BLASTING MEDIA
High-performance grinding bodies of ceramic with its unique characteristics allow advanced system solutions and high efficiency in chemistry and technics. Moreover ceramic grinding bodies have an optimum chemical resistance.
Grinding pearls of glass are always used where no special standards at grinding and dispersing are set.
Steel stands out for extreme hardness, high wear resistance and chemical strength. The balls are used for hard grinding and rough grinding but also for mixing of heavy materials.
