Frequently asked questions

Can the batch be scaled up proportionally?
Yes, the percentage composition does not depend on batch size, but the capacity of the refiner and ball mill limits a single load.

The calculations are approximate: they help to assess the process and compare options, but do not replace a process design and trials on a specific raw material. This section is for reference only and contains no commercial offers.
