THEY SAID IT LOOKED GOOD BUT THEY NEED TO MAKE SURE THE MACHINE RUNS BEARINGS ARE GOOD AND THE SEAL IS GOOD. * THEY SAID THERE WAS NO PLAY IN THE SHAFT WHICH IS A GOOD SIGN FOR THE BEARINGS.* THEY WOULD WANT TO PRESSURIZE THE SEAL & RUN THE MACHINE WITH THE CHAMBER OFF TO SEE IF THE SEAL HOLDS UP (NEW SEAL IS VERY EXPENSIVE).ingalls said the discs are made of ceramic8/17/05 - email from Ingalls What type of feed pump for the ink? NO PUMPWhat is the grinding chamber / lining composition? ACCORDING TO BILL OF MATERIAL FROM NETZSCH – FLOOR CHAMBER – SILICONE NITRIDE/NITRATE.SHAFT AGITATOR – SILICONE NITRIDE/NITRATE. PLUG PRODUCT REMOVAL ASSEMBLY – 304 S/SWhat is the composition of the grinding discs (std is chilled casting but synthetics are optional)? NOT SUREWhat is the composition of any fluid (ink) seals? NOT SUREIs there any way to show condition of cooling chamber (lime build up)? NOT UNLESS IT IS FLUSHEDSeparating system type RG or DC? I BELIEVE IT WAS ORIGINALLY DCMS (DYNAMIC CARTRIDGE MEDIA SEPARATOR) BUT WE (DICK & JON) THINK IT IS MISSING.How many hours were on the machine? Not sureWhere in service and what product was previously made? SERIAL NUMBER IS 204-770 IT WAS BUILT IN 1988. CUSTOMER IS WELCOME TO CONTACT MFG.MACHINE WAS IN SERVICE UNTIL IT WAS REMOVED.

NETZSCH* #LMC-4 TYPE 574.04 3.4 LITER HORZ AGITATION BEAD MILLOne use for this machine... Used in Paint mixing to grind media into the smallest sizes for better color saturation... Appx Year: 1988 Serial #: 204770 Model LMC-4 Type: 574.04 Disc type (Molinex): eccentric disc Agitation System: When the shaft is rotated the eccentric mounting of the discs creates an augering effect that pulses the grinding media against the product flow. This reduces hydraulic packing and results in even distrubtion of the grinding media in the chamber... Dynamic Cartridge media Seperator: Allows use of media as small as 100 um in dia. By centrifugally sperating the beads from the product the system can handle the finest grinding media available and allows the highest throughput rates. Totally enclosed grinding vessel: eliminates indesireable effects of air entrapment & enviromental concerns of solvent emmission Continuous operation: Yes Variable speed feed pump: Yes Slurries that can be processed: 5 - 95% solids Slurries with viscosities ranging from: 1-12000 poise Processing of solvent & aqueous media: 2 -13 pH ceramic materials for metal free grinding Uniform particle size range: From: 50 um- 200 um average TO: less than 1 um (submicron) slurries w/2000 um can be processed to dispersions requiring 0.05 um (50 nanometers) average particle size. MAX RECOMMENDED PRODUCT SIZE: 1MM 230/460 VOLTAGE
