Zirconium Silicate Beads, SZS
Medium Density Beads
Type: SZS
(4.0 g/cc)
Zirconium Silicate Beads, Sintered

SZS Zirconium Silicate Beads are manufactured from world-class premium zircon (ZrSiO4) mineral in a special high temperature sintering process. Because of its outstanding breakage resistance and the advantageous price, this medium density bead is particularly suitable for use in large-volume agitated bead mills.
Until now, CHEMCO SZS Zirconium Silicate Beads are successfully being used in all modern types of mills, which include vertical mills, horizontal mills, agitated media mills, stirred media mills, such as IsaMill™, Metso Vertimill®, Metso SMD, FLSmidth® VXPmill, OUTOTEC HIGmill®, HOSOKAWA ALPINE agitated media mills, NETZSCH mills, Buhler bead mills, DYNO® mills, CMC Supermill PLUS®, 'Red Head' vertical media grinding mills, Niemann Kreis-Basket-Mill® Getzmann bead mill & basket mill, Vollrath bead mill, HCP Immersion mill, IEC basket mill & bead mills, EMI mills, just name of a few...
