Pair of Tandem Grinding Attritors Used to Mill Nano-Sized Particles


Akron, Ohio - Union Process, Inc., known globally as a manufacturer of size reduction and dispersing equipment for a broad range of industrial applications, has produced a pair of dry grinding Attritors for a high-tech advanced materials company.

The 30SD and 50SD Attritors will work in tandem for this customer with one unit milling a dry powder for nano-sized particle reduction and then transferring the material to the other unit for complete and thorough dispersion and blending in a second stage wet process. The dry powder material created in the 30SD is transferred via dry powder pump into the 50SD for this two-stage process.

Both Attritors include a one-piece stainless steel tank cover with Meco shaft and a variable frequency drive that is housed in a NEMA 4X/12 wash down duty enclosure. An LCD operator interface module displays agitator RPM, motor AMPS and motor HP being used. The 50SD is powered by a 75 HP, TEFC inverter duty motor while the 30SD has a 40 HP motor.

The mills are also equipped with a specially designed process control timer package per the customer's request, which includes a process run timer, temperature warning and cut-off switch, as well as cooling water flow sensors.

Union Process is the inventor and developer of Attritor technology and manufactures wet and dry grinding mills as well as bead milling equipment.
