Zirconia Silica Beads

Zirconia silica beads are densely-packed media designed to support high-speed grinding processes. Their performance remains unchanged over time and they’re virtually free of contamination issues.

To ensure their quality, these media pass a stringent selection process before being shipped directly to you. Furthermore, manufacturing processes follow stringent standards to guarantee optimal performance of each media product.

High Crushing Strength

Zirconia silicate beads are extremely strong and long-wearing, capable of withstanding high-velocity grinding without being damaged by chemicals in slurry slurries. As such, they make for great milling process options, including dispersing inks and paints as well as grinding and polishing metal elements like copper, silver and gold.

As part of the grinding process, heat will build up in the chamber, which could compromise the efficiency and even damage materials being ground. To prevent this from happening, it is vital that an appropriate cooling system be in place; choosing smaller bead sizes also can help as this allows media to come in contact with more surfaces faster, shortening overall grinding times and saving time overall.

Inovatec offers a selection of ceria stabilized zirconia media balls in various sizes to meet every application need. Selecting the optimal size can have a dramatic impact on how effectively a process runs; larger zirconia beads have longer lives than smaller ones, for instance. Media size also plays an integral part when selecting milling machines like vertical sand mills, stirred mills, and attritors for mass grinding; each using ceria stabilized zirconia beads to complete various grinding and dispersing processes.

Low Bead Wear Rate

Zirconia silicate beads are versatile media that perform many grinding and dispersion functions. Due to their hard surface and durability, zirconia beads can withstand abuse from heavy-duty industrial processing machines without suffering much.

Zirconia Silicate Beads feature an exceptionally low wear rate, so they can be used repeatedly without risk of damaging your machine or spending unnecessary money and time replacing replacements. In comparison to glass beads which tend to be more fragile and have higher wear rates. Zirconia Silicate Beads come in multiple sizes that fit any grinding process – choose from large, medium-sized and tiny options!

Precision applications make these tools ideal for applications requiring high levels of precision, such as aerospace industry applications such as cleaning and deburring aircraft components; or electronics manufacturing uses such as eliminating excess sand, scale, and residue from metal castings.

Zirconia beads can be used in all modern types of mills, including vertical mills, horizontal mills, agitated media mills and stirred media mills. Their density ensures high grinding kinetic energy for maximum efficiency – especially suitable for superfine grinding of mineral products like kaolin, titanium dioxide and calcium carbonate; or in ceramic glaze manufacturing as well as magnetic materials production or paint manufacturing processes.

Long Lifespan

Zirconia silica beads offer more than durable grinding media that can withstand high energy inputs; they’re also highly resistant to contamination – an invaluable asset when working with sensitive materials. Plus, these easy-to-wash beads make zirconia beads ideal for use across a range of lab applications.

Zirconia producers should emphasize their products’ distinctive qualities to remain competitive against alternative grinding technologies, by exchanging technical knowledge, providing customized grinding solutions for specific applications, and supporting best practices for bead selection and usage.

Ceria Stabilized Zirconia Beads

The size and type of Ceria Stabilized Zirconia beads you select is crucial to the success of your grinding process. Selecting incorrect bead dimensions could damage equipment or lead to issues in finished parts. Inovatec machinery offers various sizes so you can find one suitable for your application.

YSZ grinding media comes in several different forms, including acid washed and low binding types. These formats are ideal for various purposes such as homogenizing mosquitoes or extracting proteins and nucleic acids from their eggs, polishing metal surfaces, inks or contact lens polishing – in addition to being easy to handle and provide uniform particle distribution.

Multipurpose Media

Zirconia silica beads are an extremely flexible media that can be utilized for numerous applications. They’re especially well suited to parts that need fine milling or polishing to produce smooth surfaces, or processes which demand rapid movement.

Inovatec’s zirconia silica ceramic beads are highly effective at extracting embedded contaminants from stainless steel and other metal surfaces, making them the ideal choice for wheel-blast systems and wet or dry air blasting processes. Furthermore, their smaller bead sizes enable them to reach even difficult areas on parts and increase overall grinding efficiency.

These macro milling media are constructed from microfine zirconia powder stabilized with rare earth cerium oxide, transformed to tetragonal polycrystals. Their highest density among ceramic materials and second hardest material after tungsten carbide make them durable; making them cost-effective solutions for dispersion and milling of hard and soft high viscous substances while producing minimal wear-related contamination.

Zirconox media is an invaluable asset in bio-tech, where it is employed for milling and dispersing of agricultural chemicals such as fungicides, herbicides, and pesticides. Furthermore, this media can be utilized in coating preparation as well as paint application for coatings, prints, inkjet printer cartridges and tattoo inks – not forgetting its many mineral applications such as calcium carbonate production or even pharmaceutical dispersion.
