Overview
The Glen Mills 7361-000500 is a premium zirconia grinding media designed for demanding milling and attrition applications. Manufactured from high-density zirconium oxide, this 0.5mm bead media offers superior durability and wear resistance compared to alumina or glass alternatives. Glen Mills has been supplying steel, glass, zirconium oxide, and other media in all sizes to labs and production facilities since 1980.
Key Features
- High Wear Resistance: Zirconia delivers higher grinding efficiency and reduced grinding time due to its higher density, while being the most durable grinding material that reduces operational cost in the long run.
- Fine 0.5mm Particle Size: Ideal for precision grinding and fine milling operations requiring small bead diameters.
- Low Contamination: Zirconia grinding media provides a virtually contamination-free ball milling solution.
- Suitable for Wet and High-Velocity Operations: Zirconia media is suitable for high velocity operations and wet grinding operations.
- Established Reliability: Part of Glen Mills’ comprehensive grinding media portfolio used in ceramic, pharmaceutical, and materials processing industries.
