Stainless Steel Agitator Bead Mill WMS150 150L 55kW For Middle East Coating Plants

The WMS150 agitator bead mill is a 150-litre horizontal production grinder aimed at coating manufacturers in the Gulf region, where summer ambient temperatures above 45 degrees Celsius put continuous-duty equipment under real stress. A 55kW main motor drives the agitator disc stack through a heavy-duty bearing housing, and the cooling jacket is oversized so that the temperature rise across the chamber stays within a few degrees even when the mill runs three shifts through July and August. Output ranges from 180 to 1500 kg/h, which suits mid-size architectural paint plants producing emulsion, textured, epoxy and industrial maintenance coatings as well as dye and pigment dispersions. The chamber and shaft are fabricated from SS304 with alloy steel agitator discs, the motor is IP55 rated with Class F insulation, and the electrical cabinet uses dust-filtered ventilation with a separate air path for the inverter, so fine pigment dust in the filling area does not shorten component life.

• Agitator Bead Mill Configuration: a horizontal chamber with a multi-disc agitator shaft suits high-flow circulation grinding, letting the same unit serve batch and continuous production
• Heat-Ready Cooling Design: the jacket uses a four-point water path with an oversized exchange area, holding product temperature steady when inlet water is already warm in Gulf summers
• 55kW Continuous Drive: a generously rated motor and bearing housing allow round-the-clock operation at full load without thermal derating of the grinding performance
• Dust-Tolerant Electricals: IP55 motor, filtered cabinet ventilation and separated inverter air path protect the drive train in pigment-heavy filling halls
• Stable Colour Strength: controlled chamber temperature prevents resin kick-over and pigment flocculation, so tint strength stays consistent from the first batch to the last
• Double-End Seal With Barrier Fluid: the flushed seal package tolerates frequent solvent flushing between colours and keeps leakage away from the product stream
• Scale-Up From Pilot Data: specific energy per litre matches the smaller agitator bead mill chambers, so results from a 30L or 60L trial transfer directly to the 150L unit

The WMS150 agitator bead mill is usually installed as the main production mill in plants supplying decorative paint, putty, waterproofing coating and industrial maintenance coating to construction projects in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar and Kuwait. It also handles dye and pigment dispersions for ink and masterbatch producers. Because water supply temperature in the region often exceeds 30 degrees Celsius, the mill can be paired with a chiller or a closed-loop cooling tower with an added plate exchanger, and the piping is arranged so the chamber can be drained and flushed quickly between colour changes. Plants running 15 to 25 batches per week typically pair one 150L agitator bead mill with a high-speed disperser for pre-mix and a holding tank for circulation grinding.

Each WMS150 agitator bead mill is load-tested for 72 hours before shipment, with chamber temperature, seal leakage, vibration and outlet fineness logged and issued as a test report. Chambers are hydro-tested, shafts are dynamically balanced, and the seal cartridge is bench-tested for barrier-fluid retention. Documentation includes an electrical schematic, spare-part list, operation and maintenance manual in English, plus material certificates for wetted parts. Production runs under an ISO 9001:2015 quality management system, and CE-compliant guarded electricals can be supplied on request. A 12-month warranty applies to the complete machine excluding media and wear parts, wear parts stay in stock for ten years, and spare seal cartridges and screens are recommended as startup spares so that a planned seal change never becomes an unplanned shutdown.
