Key benefits

Increased productivity
Combining pre-dispersing and fine grinding allows for efficient, fast and high-quality production.
Reducing CO2e
Together the MacroMedia and MicroMedia Invicta duo save up to 270 kWh or 200 kg CO2e per ton of ink (CO2e calculation based on the average global electricity grid).
Intuitive operation
Thanks to the integrated Premium Plus control system, the combination offers intuitive operation and is ready for IoT.

A truly unbeatable duo for the wet grinding industry

Taking a look at the overall process

A focus on productivity

Starting with an enhanced pre-dispersing step, the quality pre-mixing can be improved, in turn allowing for the usage of smaller beads in the subsequent fine-grinding step. This combination increases productivity by 175% per line.

 

Save 200 kg CO2e per ton of ink

Achieve your sustainability targets

Combining the MacroMedia pre-dispersing unit with the MicroMedia Invicta can significantly lower your energy consumption. Compared to a standard process using a high-speed disperser and a MicroMedia+ bead mill, the MacroMedia and MicroMedia Invicta duo saves up to 270 kWh or 200 kg CO2e per ton of ink (solvent-based liquid ink, CO2e calculation based on the average global electricity grid).

MacroMedia pre-dispersing unit

Increasing pre-mixing quality

The MacroMedia pre-dispersing unit uses beads which, compared to conventional mixing technologies, are much more effective at breaking down particles and agglomerates, including hard aggregates and even crystals. For standard inks and coatings it achieves significantly finer particle sizes. This technology is key in enabling smaller beads to be used in the subsequent fine-grinding step.

MicroMedia Invicta high-performance bead mill

Step-change in bead mill technology

Using smaller beads, higher flow rates and the most productive milling technology are the key factors for an efficient production of the desired quality for your product. Bead size in particular has a high leverage; for example, reducing the bead size from 0.8 mm to 0.3 mm enables a 40 to 50% lower energy consumption.

Intuitive design

User-friendly control system

The integrated Premium Plus control system offers an intuitive design for easy handling. The control of machines, tanks and peripheral devices can be integrated in one control system.

Pre-designed process skid

Small footprint, quick installation and commissioning

The skid includes a dosing device for solid and liquid materials, the MacroMedia pre-dispersing unit, recirculation tanks, the MicroMedia Invicta and a letdown tank. The smart design is perfect for a cost-efficient and flexible production solution on the smallest possible footprint. Thanks to the pre-designed module, installation and commissioning time is reduced to a minimum.
