Bead Mill

• Glass beads grind solids, in suspension, to 2-5 micron

• 20 million litres per annum

• Agrochemicals

• Anti-foams

• Inks & Paints

There are seven Bead Mills around the Site, giving the Company the largest agrochemical suspension concentrate capacity on one site in Europe. These are used to produce approximately 20 million litres per annum of Fungicides, Herbicides, Biocides and Anti-foams.

This leaves plenty of spare capacity. The problem is that the spare capacity can be seasonal. The plant could be re-configured to accommodate long viable runs but does lend itself to a lot of 'chopping and changing'.
