What is the difference between vertical and horizontal colloid mills?
2025-08-06

Colloidal mills are mainly designed in three types: split type, vertical type, and horizontal type. They have the characteristics of beautiful appearance, good sealing, stable performance, easy operation, simple decoration, and high production efficiency. It is the best ideal choice for processing fine material processing equipment. Mainly suitable for homogenization, emulsification, dispersion, mixing, crushing, and grinding of various emulsions. If we really want to calculate it, the colloid mill can only be considered as two styles: vertical colloid mill and horizontal colloid mill. So, what are the differences between these two styles of colloid mills? Below, Wenzhou colloid mill will slowly explain them to you.

1、 Horizontal colloid mill

The height of the horizontal colloid mill is low, and axial positioning should be considered to prevent the motor shaft from moving and colliding with the teeth in the axial direction. It is best to use the front end cover bearing of the motor, as the axial thermal expansion of the motor rotor and shaft will move in the direction of the front bearing key towards the rear bearing of the motor to reduce the impact on the clearance of the grinding head. Due to the horizontal installation of the horizontal colloid mill, if the discharge port is upward, a discharge valve should be installed below the discharge port to allow the material inside the colloid mill to be discharged during long-term shutdown. The design of the anti fouling disc should consider the self weight reflux of the contaminated material.

2、 Vertical colloid mill

Vertical rubber grinder is installed vertically on the motor, and the weight of the motor will cause the motor shaft to not penetrate axially, so axial positioning can be considered instead of axial positioning. It is the relative high-speed rotation between teeth (or rotor) and rotor (or rotor) driven by a belt drive (or rotor). The downward spiral impact force, through the gaps between collagen and teeth (which can be adjusted), is subjected to physical effects such as shear force, friction force, and high-frequency vibration, effectively emulsifying, dispersing, and crushing the material, achieving the effect of material ultrafine and emulsification.
