Radius-End Cylinder and Banded Satellite Sphere Ceramic Grinding and Milling Media
Based Upon Magnesia Stabilized Zirconium Oxide
Engineered for grinding and milling of zircon, zirconia, barium titanate, food stuffs, pharmaceuticals and electronic ceramics in vibratory, ball, jar and attritor mills. Zircoa grinding media delivers fast grinding and milling, with low contamination and media weight loss.
Our Strategy — Your Satisfaction
Zircoa’s grinding media has been used successfully, for more than 40 years, to grind electronic ceramics, zircon and zirconia. Our on-going engineering and manufacturing refinement allows us to keep pace with this market. This pro-active approach also prepares us for partnering with the newer electronics markets, which demand higher purity and much less contamination.
A Superior Media
Our media is made of magnesia stabilized zirconia. This formulation is non-porous, non-conductive and non-magnetic. It is chemically inert, chip-resistant and extremely hard. Zircoa engineers this formulation into both radius-end cylinder and banded satellite sphere shapes.
Radius-End Cylinders (above) — Developed for use in vibratory, ball and jar mills. Manufactured in various sizes to accommodate your specific requirements. Well-suited for grinding barium titanates and other electronic ceramics, zircon, zirconia and other specialty ceramics.
Banded satellite spheres
Banded Satellite Spheres (left) — Developed for use in attritor, ball and jar mills. Measuring 0.25" (6.35mm), this media produces super-fine grinds. It is well-suited for applications such as grinding zircon for opacifiers, zirconia and other applications that demand low contamination.
