Top of the Line Lab Mills

KADY International is proud to be a leader in manufacturing industrial grade high speed dispersion equipment. We have been in the industry for almost 70 years and we pride ourselves on continually growing our business through innovation and high quality customer service. KADY International works hard to design, engineer and manufacture high quality mills, mills that can be found in forty-one different countries across the world.

Our lab mills are a fine example of the attention to detail and quality that we put into each and every one of our products. We have two main styles of lab mills. The first is the newly engineered L- 2000 High Speed Dispersion Lab Mill. This mill offers just about unlimited dispersion/mixing combinations and the fresh design incorporates an enclosed shaft which allows for deaerating capabilities. The mill has continuous through put rates of 3-5 GPM, or a batch operation of 1 pint to 3/4 gallons. This is our top entry version of a lab mill. The bottom entry version, otherwise known as Model LB has a batch working capacity of one gallon and is outfitted with all wetted parts in a stainless steel. We even have a vacuum operation available as an option for our Model LB Lab mill in order to better meet your needs. One important aspect of our lab mills is scalability. If we can achieve the results in the lab, we can scale up to pilot and production equipment.

As we’ve said before we have been designing, engineering and manufacturing mills for many years, so you know that you can count on us for high quality and reliability. We encourage you to reach out to us if you have any further questions either through our Contact Us form or by giving us a call at (207) 883 -4141. We are waiting to answer your call and any questions you may have!

Premilling with KADY

Kady introduced the “Premilling” concept over 25 years ago! Premilling works to combine both the premix and early milling stages into one extremely efficient step. Because of this, your whole mixing process can change for the better. Our KADY PreMilling equipment is able to deliver a finer premilled base to your media mill thereby eliminating multiple media mill passes, reducing your production time and equipment cost, saving clean up time and cost, and increasing capacity with higher throughput.

A single high speed KADY Mill can provide a superior homogeneous premix by wetting pigments and producing a dispersion that’s well below a traditional high speed disperser premix particle size in less time. This eliminates multiple media passes which cuts out production time and clean up time. This also means that you can cut back on a few pieces of expensive equipment.

If you want to learn more about the Premilling process, contact us today for further information from our dispersion experts. You can reach us at (207) 883-4141 and ask about our free in-house lab testing or our large inventory of refurbished mills. We have been in the industry for almost 70 years and our mills are in operation worldwide. We look forward to hearing from you and how we can provide a high quality solution that works for your needs and requirements.

Free On-Site Testing

Over the years KADY International has gained the reputation of being a leader in the industry, and one of the ways that we have been able to secure this reputation is through dedication to our client’s needs. On top of this dedication, we are also deeply committed to providing high quality equipment that will add value to our client’s overall process. In order to achieve both of these KADY is proud to say that we offer on-site laboratory testing to not only ensure that a KADY Mill is the appropriate equipment for your application but to also ensure trouble free scale up to our pilot and production equipment.

Additionally, we offer rental lab, pilot and smaller production mills. This allows our customer to become better acquainted with the equipment in their facilities and perform follow on testing with products other than those run in our lab as a feasibility test.

Customer satisfaction is one of our main goals here at KADY. If you are not happy with your KADY product then we are not happy. With a wide selection and a dedicated staff to help you through every step of the process we are sure to have a solution for your need. Visit our On-Site Testing page for more information about this program or give us a call at 1-800-367-5239 for any further questions you may have. We are ready and willing to put our experience and knowledge to work for you in order to increase your processes overall efficiency and value. 

Our Mills

Here at KADY international, we manufacture three different types of high speed dispersion mills. Our Top Entry models ( L-2000, 2OT, 25T and 100T), Bottom Entry (OO, OC, 4C, 500B) and our continuous flow mills (OOCF, OCF). All three of these models share the same operating principle with high shear, impact and impingement. Each model uses a similar rotor stator configuration and all have approximately the same top rotor tip speed of around 9000 feet per minute.

This means that each model can be utilized in similar applications from mixing paints and inks to paper, chemicals, mineral products, waste water, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and many more. While they can all be used almost interchangeably, some models offer more advantages in certain applications than others. For example, paint and ink applications which require multiple color changes for the same machine, are best suited for a top entry mills where multiple tanks are able to be serviced and a separate clean tank can be used. Our bottom entry machines work well in applications that are dedicated to a single product or color. And applications that require vacuum or pressure are typically best suited for bottom entry mills as there is no penetrating dispersion unit through the top of the tank.

If you are unsure of which mill might be best suited for your unique application, be sure to contact us today and we will be happy to help identify which Kady high speed dispersion mill will suit your application best. Please contact Kady International today and learn more about our no charge in house testing service.
