Glen Mills Inc products

Ceramics, includes Aluminum Oxide and Zirconium Oxide (sp.gr. 3.5 to 6.1).

Glass Steel and other Metals. These soda-lime lead-free glass beads are extremely round, have a narrow size spread, and their durability makes them ideal for thinner suspensions such as agricultural chemicals, tape coatings, aqueous suspensions, biologicals, and many other milling operations. Smaller sizes offered.

Highest density material available for milling applications. Available as small pellets (not spherical), satellites (balls with bands) and round balls. Cost, medium to high, varies with roundness and size.

Various alloys available (low carbon, high carbon, chrome steel, stainless steel, etc.) in a variety of forms:

The first of the “engineered” class of grinding media, glass beads (small balls) and balls were developed specifically for grinding applications where sand wasn’t available. Glass is manufactured in various grades (Lead-free Soda Lime, borosilicate, low alkali, black glass, and others) in sizes from 1 micron to 2 inches.

Polystyrene, polyamide, polycarbonate, acrylic. Typically low cost, media (balls and cubes) from 150 microns to fractional inch sizes. Teflon and Teflon-coated steel balls and rods.

Alphie 3D mixers are ideal for homogeneous mixing of powder – be it with different bulk density or different proportion of mixing or different shape and particle size. The best part is, separate and detachable mixing drums / containers / bins are loaded inside the mixing cage, meaning no cross contamination and exposure to work environment.
