What Is a Basket Mill?

Basket Mill is a machine used for grinding fluids mainly of low and high viscosity and also used in the production of batch type equipment. The size of the particles become smaller by the momentum generated by the irregular collision between the grinding beads. Basket Mill is mainly suitable for the industries which require very high fineness of the materials like inks, pigments, cosmetics, colorants, pesticides, coatings and another similar kind of industries. Also, the machine has significantly reduced the production process as the machine has integrated the two processes namely dispersing and milling into one while in traditional production processes there used to be the separate procedure for every process.

But in basket mill, there is no need of any pump or valve for the unidirectional flow. Dispersing as well as grinding can be finished by one machine and one container which ultimately reduces the wastage of materials and also increases the efficiency of the machine. 

Features of Basket Mill

-robustly designed
-optimum performance
-operate in a hassle-free manner
-no additional pumps, containers or valves are required.
-require less energy
-grinds excellently
-very little grinding media required


As compared to other machines, basket mill is much more suitable to grind a wide variety of materials and it's cleaning procedure is also easier. Basket mill manufacturers and suppliers do not require to maintain these machines a lot as they do not need any professional maintenance. Also, the designing of the blocking spare parts makes it much easier and convenient to maintain, overhaul or disassemble.


Basket Mill manufacturers provide customers baskets of different sizes, different blades and media according to the needs and requirements of the industries. It comes according to the fineness of the material needed and what has to grind in the tank. Different processes like premixing, shearing, and dispersion all are done in just one single process which eventually saves the time and increases the production rate. This single machine has offered the tremendous benefits to the milling and grinding industry for a long time and that's the reason basket mills always remain in demand by such kind of industries.
