FAQ
Q1: What makes SZS beads different from high-density zirconia beads?
A: SZS beads offer a medium density and lower cost, making them ideal for large-volume processes where price efficiency and durability are key. High-density zirconia beads provide more grinding power but at higher cost.
Q2: What bead sizes are recommended for large-volume bead mills?
A: Larger beads (4–14 mm) are generally used in large-scale, high-throughput mills. Smaller beads (0.4–2 mm) are suited for fine dispersion in medium-volume or specialised processes.
Q3: Are SZS beads resistant to breakage?
A: Yes. They are fully dense, non-porous, and manufactured through a high-temperature sintering process, giving them excellent breakage resistance.
Q4: Can they be used for grinding zircon specifically?
A: Yes. These beads are the recommended choice for efficient fine grinding of zircon materials.
Q5: What industries benefit most from SZS media?
A: Pigments, ceramics, coatings, chemical processing, and mineral grinding industries that require durable yet cost-efficient media for large-scale operations.
