Used Premier Mill ESD/V-10/5 Stainless Steel Media Mill – 10-Liter Grinding Chamber, 10 HP Drive

Manufacturer Information

Premier Mill Corporation

Premier Mill Corporation manufactured industrial milling, grinding, mixing, and dispersion equipment for applications requiring particle-size reduction and controlled product dispersion. Premier media mills have been used in paints, inks, coatings, adhesives, chemicals, and specialty formulations for laboratory, pilot-scale, and production processing.

The Premier ESD/V-10/5 is a continuous-flow media mill. Importantly, the “10” in the model designation refers to its 10-liter grinding chamber volume—not a 10-liter batch capacity.

Description

Available for sale is a used Premier Mill Corporation Model ESD/V-10/5 stainless steel media mill, manufactured in May 2000.

This floor-mounted unit features a 10-liter (approximately 2.64 U.S. gallon) grinding chamber and is powered by a 10 HP main drive motor with a separate 5 HP pump motor. Electrical service is 208V.

The Premier ESD/V-10/5 is a continuous-flow media milling system, meaning it does not have a fixed batch capacity. Product is pumped through the media-filled grinding chamber where high-energy interaction between the grinding media and product can provide particle-size reduction, dispersion, deagglomeration, and homogenization.

The mill can be integrated with a separate feed or recirculation vessel to create a product loop. Depending on the application, systems of this size may be paired with approximately 10–100 gallon vessels for laboratory and pilot processing or 50–300 gallon vessels for production recirculation.

Actual throughput and effective batch volume depend heavily on the product viscosity, initial particle size, desired final fineness, grinding media, solids loading, flow rate, number of recirculation passes, and formulation characteristics.

This configuration may be suitable for processing paints, inks, coatings, adhesives, chemical formulations, pigments, dispersions, and other specialty products requiring high-shear milling or fine particle dispersion.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Does the “10” in ESD/V-10/5 mean this is a 10-liter batch mill? No. The 10 refers to the approximately 10-liter grinding chamber volume. This is a continuous-flow media mill and therefore does not have a fixed 10-liter batch capacity.
• What batch size can the Premier ESD/V-10/5 process? Batch size depends on the external feed or recirculation tank. Depending on the application, it may be paired with approximately 10–100 gallon tanks for laboratory/pilot work or 50–300 gallon tanks for production recirculation.
• What motors are installed? The unit is equipped with a 10 HP drive motor and 5 HP pump motor and is configured for 208V electrical service.
• What does a media mill do? A media mill uses grinding media and mechanical energy to provide particle-size reduction, deagglomeration, dispersion, and homogenization as material passes through the grinding chamber.
• What products can be processed in this mill? Potential applications include paints, inks, coatings, adhesives, pigment dispersions, chemicals, and specialty formulations. Product compatibility should be confirmed for the specific process.
• Can Aaron Equipment assist with shipping and logistics? Yes. Aaron Equipment can assist with rigging and loading coordination, domestic and international freight, and logistics planning for media mills, mixing equipment, recirculation systems, and other industrial processing machinery.
