NETZSCH Solutions for Ceramic Applications

Through vast experience and continuing market leadership, NETZSCH is able to develop and select the best solution for every step of the process (e.g. pigment processing, mixing, wet grinding, etc.) in the production of digital glaze, ceramic inkjet, ceramic pigments, In-Glass ceramics inks, technical ceramics, minerals and raw materials and ceramic masses.

Wet Grinding – ZETA® System

From the grinding systems available in the NETZSCH product portfolio (horizontal disk mills, basket mills, vertical mills, etc.), manufacturers of ceramic inkjet pigments have chosen the ZETA® System because it offers clear advantages:

- Very narrow particle size distribution that is easier to control (filtering capability, color intensity, etc.)

- Highest level of productivity

- Total reproducibility of the results

- Fewer grinding beads required

The NETZSCH ZETA® System is based on solid, effective design:

- Smaller grinding chamber (about half the size of a disc mill, with comparable energy input)

- Designed for circulation grinding

- Uses agitator pegs for the greatest efficiency

Recently, NETZSCH introduced the largest recirculation bead mill ever built, capable of processing up to 10,000 liter batches. With the introduction of the LMZ 400, a wide production range is covered. From the 0.62 liter chamber volume of the LABSTAR to the 400 liter chamber volume of the LMZ 400, scale-up is accurate and reproducible.
