Taking mined minerals down to size


CARBO’s ceramic media products improve grinding effectiveness and efficiency while lowering operational costs.

CARBOGRIND ceramic media products are engineered to provide superior strength, hardness and uniform shape that result in a high resistance to particle attrition and compressive breakdown. Our sintering process yields a mohs hardness that approaches that of a diamond.

CARBOGRIND provides value superior to silica sand and many other specialty media products. The durability of ceramic media results in longer product life, while the uniform size and spherical shape add efficiency to the grind and reduce wear of mechanical parts on the milling equipment.

CARBOGRIND products have been used in both vertically and horizontally configured wet mills.

CARBO's ceramic media products are inert and contain no quartz silica.

CARBOGRIND LD – Low-density, medium-strength, medium-hardness, light-color ceramic media. These products are typically used in vertical-designed milling devices where a low product density is preferred for operational efficiency, medium strength and hardness are adequate and a light color of the final product is critical.

CARBOGRIND HD – High-density, high-strength, high-hardness, dark-color ceramic media. These products are used in some vertical mills but have been especially effective in horizontal milling devices where high density is critical in supporting head pressures for effective grinding and final product color is less critical.
