Abstract
A pipeline beads mill has a dispersion chamber, a first feeding port for feeding a material to be treated into the dispersion chamber, a second feeding port for feeding a dispersion media into the dispersion chamber, a tubular outer stator disposed in the dispersion chamber, and a tubular inner stator disposed in the outer stator in spaced-apart relation thereto to form a treatment gap therebetween for receiving the dispersion media and the material to be treated. The inner stator has an outflow port in communication with the treatment gap. A tubular rotor is disposed in the dispersion chamber and partitions the treatment gap into an outer gap portion and an inner gap portion. A rotationally driven shaft rotates the rotor to displace the dispersion media so as to disperse the material to be treated. The rotor has a circulation port for permitting circulation of dispersion media between the outer gap portion and the inner gap portion of the treatment gap during rotation of the drive rotor. A discharge port is disposed in communication with the outflow port of the inner stator for discharging the dispersed material. A separating member is disposed at an inner side of the outflow port of the inner stator for separating the dispersion media from the dispersed material and permitting the dispersed material but not the dispersion media to be discharged from the discharge port of the dispersion chamber.
