  DRAIS GRINDING MEDIA
 

 

Let us use our expertise to find the best Grinding Media for your applications

The use of proper media in high-speed milling is of utmost importance. As an established designer and builder of grinding, dispersing and mixing equipment, Draiswerke knows. Draiswerke offers a variety of high quality grinding beads for a wide range of applications:

Sili-Quarzite is a specially formulated silica glass compound. Sili-Quarzite is available in a high-density version for demanding grinding tasks. A lead free Sili-Quarzite with a lower density is also available.

Draisal beads are among the toughest grinding media available on the market today. Manufactured from aluminum oxide, they have shown extremely high wear resistance in long duration laboratory tests and critical field applications.

Chromanite beads are made from 52100 series ball bearing steel. Their hardness is rated at 63 Rockwell "C".

Ferro Spheres are steel shot grinding media with hardness rating of 48-52 Rockwell "C"
