How Does Basket Mill Solve Multi-Variety & Small-Batch Grinding？

In the manufacturing of industrial coatings, specialty inks and color pastes, customized production with multi-variety and small-batch orders is growing day by day. When handling such orders, traditional horizontal grinding equipment consumes a great deal of solvent and labor time to clean the grinding chamber and pipelines, which makes an efficient basket mill a highly preferred choice.

Conventional basket mills often suffer from poor material suction and many dead circulation zones inside the grinding basket when processing high-viscosity or easily agglomerated materials. If the pump impeller at the bottom of the grinding basket has insufficient suction force, the material cannot form a strong top-down circulation flow field, resulting in low grinding efficiency of the basket mill, even local overheating and uneven particle distribution.

To break through these technical bottlenecks, the R&D team of ELE has launched the EBM series new-generation basket mill. The ELE basket mill adopts a specially integrated structure of double-suction impeller and grinding basket. When the rotor rotates at high speed, bidirectional suction from the top and bottom quickly draws slurry into the grinding basket. After grinding with high-density beads, the slurry is ejected forcefully to achieve dead-zone-free self-circulating dispersion and grinding.

Apart from the powerful circulating flow field, the new ELE basket mill has made breakthroughs in operation convenience. The equipment is equipped with a hydraulic lifting system; the grinding basket can be easily lifted out of the mixing tank after grinding. Operators only need a small amount of cleaning solvent for idle flushing to finish color change cleaning in a very short time, cutting solvent consumption and flushing time by about 60% compared with traditional models.

Whether for sample preparation in R&D laboratories, or pilot test and mass production in industrial workshops, the ELE basket mill delivers excellent compatibility and stability. For special materials with different corrosivity and hardness, the liner of grinding basket and mixing components of ELE basket mill can be optionally customized with wear-resistant zirconia ceramic or stainless steel to prevent material contamination during grinding.

If you are troubled by frequent color change and blocked production efficiency in your workshop, come and visit CHINACOAT China International Coatings Show from November 11 to 13, 2026. ELE will display the new-generation basket mill in real machine at Booth 3.1B31, China Guangzhou Coatings Show.
