The Hockmeyer Immersion Mill Advantage
Immersion Milling offers all of the advantages of media milling with none of the drawbacks of
traditional milling. Designed to be highly efficient, easy to use, clean and maintain, the HCP Series
Mills are streamlining operations the world over. Traditional milling is slow due to the low velocity
of the feed stock passing through the shear zone. This is true of both horizontal and 3-roll mills.
To increase velocity through these systems, the intensity of the shear zone
must be decreased. Immersion milling works in an entirely different way.
Products are passed through an aggressive shear zone at a very high
velocity; as fast as 50 passes per hour!
This produces very narrow particle size
distributions and decreases the bead to
product ratio necessary for efficient milling.
The HCP Series Mills provide a substantially
higher rate of return on invested capital
than traditional alternatives.

Hockmeyer’s Dual Station Processing Platform:
Offering fast, flexible and simple particle reduction on multiple mill platforms.
Small batch production and lab units typically use portable tanks that are transported from premix to
mill. This platform is usually referred to as a “Change Can Operation.”
Larger production systems can be outfitted in Hockmeyer’s “Dual Station Processing Platform.”
The Pre-mixer (disperser) and Immersion Mill
are mounted on two separate and
independently rotating
bridge assemblies. Each
machine services two
fixed tanks, alternating
between premixing and
milling, eliminating the
need to pump products
mid-process. Rotating
bridge assemblies are
available in both manual
and automated models.
