Ceria Stabilized Zirconia Beads
FOX ceria beads (ceria stabilized zirconia beads) are highly beneficial for use in ball mills. Ceria beads are known for their high density and hardness, making them ideal for grinding applications. The high density of FOX ceria beads allows for enhanced milling efficiency, as they impart greater impact force on the materials being processed, resulting in finer particle sizes and shorter processing times. Ceria beads are a cost-effective and efficient choice of ceramic milling media for particle size reduction processes in ball mills.
Yttria Stabilized Zirconia Beads
Unlock unrivaled wear resistance and technical precision with FOX Industries’ yttria beads (yttria stabilized zirconia beads) — the pinnacle of ceramic grinding media excellence for ball mills. These yttria beads surpass both ceria beads and zirconium silicate beads in providing superior performance for ball mill applications. Thanks to their superior hardness and wear resistance, yttria beads are the perfect solution for any ball milling process requiring low contamination. Whether you’re using ceramic beads for fine grinding, dispersion, or mechanical alloying, FOX Industries’ yttria beads deliver unmatched efficiency and longevity in critical applications.
Glass Beads
FOX glass beads are precision-engineered, high-quality spherical beads designed for optimal efficiency in ball mills and dispersion processes. Made from durable glass, these beads offer consistent size and shape, ensuring uniform grinding and particle size reduction in various ball mill applications, including pharmaceuticals, paints, coatings, and food products. The smooth surface of FOX glass beads minimizes contamination and wear, making them ideal for both wet and dry ball milling environments.

FOX Industries – The Company
Thirty years ago, here’s where you would have found me: At the bottom of an ink tank, deep in printing ink, rebuilding a ball mill. I’d be down inside the mill chamber, spending hours getting my hands dirty.
My name is Charles Richardson, President and CEO of FOX Industries.
I’d often be called in to rebuild, design, and improve drive and mixing assemblies. Time and again, my customers faced the same problem: Production Managers had no control over their milling processes because they were at the mercy of the machines.
Inevitably, the mills would break down, shut down the production line, and bring my customers’ businesses to a screeching halt. That hands-on experience opened my eyes and gave me unique insights into the milling process. One of the things I learned was how fundamental and important grinding media was to the process itself.
That discovery helped me understand the importance of creating quality steel and ceramic milling media that keep your mills, and your business, running smoothly.
Determined to stay head of the curve, and meet the needs of our customers, we invested heavily in the research and development of high-quality steel and ceramic grinding media.
Today, our ongoing research into ultra-fine particle size reduction is changing the world, one bead mill at a time.
