Attrition Cells are designed to scrub the surfaces of particulates, liberate deleterious materials and break down pretend particulates associated with durability, such as hard-pan clays. The top size of the feed is typically of up to 1/2” (12mm). Surface contaminants, such as clays, oxides and chemicals, are removed by particle-on-particle attrition generated by a series of rotating paddles inside the Attrition Cells that have been sized to suit the application.
This style of scrubber is ideal for industrial (frac, glass, sports) and mineral sands to meet turbidity and color test requirements. They also allow more efficient downstream separation, such as in flotation and electrostatic/electromagnetic separation. Attrition Cells can handle high plasticity clays in high shear and aggressive scrubbing environments.
- Direct drive shaft eliminates V-Belt slippage
- Field-replaceable natural rubber liners and paddles allow shell liners, baffles, paddles and shaft protection to be replaced in the field – no need for factory rebuilds
- Adjustable hubs allow paddle sets to be reoriented within the Attrition Cell
- Up-front testing provides the greatest confidence in capital expenditure
