Fine grinding and stable dispersion are the foundation of quality for paints and coatings, printing inks, construction chemicals, and many other products. Correctly selected grinding media ensure high mill efficiency, minimal wear, and final product purity. Alventus supplies glass and ceramic beads for vertical and horizontal mills, solving tasks from ultra-fine to coarse grinding.
Main Types of Beads
Choose the type of grinding media to go to the relevant catalogue section and explore characteristics, available sizes, and selection guidance.
- Glass Beads – spherical particles made of soda-lime glass, featuring high mechanical crushing strength. They offer an almost perfect spherical shape, transparency, and an absence of air bubbles, which prevents product contamination with fragments and discolouration of light pigments. Ideal for wet grinding of paints, enamels, primers, printing inks, and mineral fillers in mills with ceramic linings.
- Ceramic Beads – high-density spherical particles based on zirconium silicate (density ~4.0–4.2 g/cm³) or yttria- or ceria-stabilized zirconium oxide (density up to 6.0–6.2 g/cm³). Exceptional wear resistance enables effective grinding of high-viscosity products and hard particles, guaranteeing minimal media wear and long service life. Used in coatings, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, agrochemicals, and other sectors where purity and grinding consistency are critical.
