Ball Milling Equipment

Shimpo PTA-01/02 Ball Mills

Ball mills have been used for decades to grind and mix materials used in the ceramic industry. Shimpo's heavyduty ball milling machines enable very precise milling, in porcelain jars, even for relatively tough materials, wet or dry. Shimpo ball mills have a compact design that is ideal for small-scale production and is constructed using powder-coated steel for long-lasting durability. The PTA-01 accommodates one jar, the PTA-02 can handle two jars. Easy adjustments can be made to the sturdy roller bars to accommodate jars from 1-liter to 10-liters. Each milling machine comes standard with a breaker switch.

Shimpo's Ball Mill Rack Attachment for the Whisper wheel series is a great investment for potters who would like a ball mill and would also like to save space. The ball mill attachment fits on any Whisper pottery wheel with a 12" wheel-head.

One to ten liter Porcelain Jars are also available to complete your milling needs. Every jar comes with the porcelain balls needed for milling.

PTA-01 Price: $1,000 — PTA-02 Price: $1,250 — Ball Mill Rack Attachment Price: $480.00
