Agrochemicals

ZirPro ceramic media are used in agrochemical applications

Agrochemical formulations tend to be low-viscosity, temperature-sensitive suspensions of active chemicals. These crop-science products include pesticides and fertilizers. The target for grinding in agrochemicals applications is to ensure that exact particle size distribution is achieved. Coarse particles are prohibited as they can clog the spraying nozzles, and ultrafine particles are not desired either as they increase absorption rates.

Saint-Gobain ZirPro has been supplying high-quality ceramic media for agrochemical applications for more than 40 years. ZirPro ER120 beads between 0.8 mm and 1.25 mm are the industry standard in horizontal mills. Higher-density Zirmil® Y can deliver increased efficiency. In this case and to prevent heat generation, smaller bead sizes need to be combined with higher flow rates.

Problem-free operations

ZirPro ceramic media for problem-free operation

The ability to run long and problem-free production while limiting downtime and the loss of active compounds is a key requirement for agrochemical processing applications. ZirPro zirconia beads provide the stability to ensure that mills perform to expectations. ZirPro also offers a unique level of after-sales and technical support to keep processing running smoothly.

Highest specification and quality standards

With a 4.0 g/cc density, ER120 and Rimax zirconium silicate beads often are the best milling solution, especially as an alternative to glass beads. They are widely used in vertical and horizontal mills. Rimax is specifically engineered to withstand the more demanding environment of basket mills.

With a 6.0 g/cc density, the Zirmil range enhances grind performance. Zirmil also improves cost efficiency by reducing maintenance requirements. Zirmil Y is the premier product designed to meet the most exacting demands of recirculation mills with high product throughput. Zirmil Ce is a versatile media typically used in in horizontal mills.
