Union Process, a US manufacturer of size reduction and dispersing equipment for a broad range of industrial applications, has produced a new batch-type Attritor that can be used as a wet or dry grinding mill.
By purchasing just one frame, tank, motor, gear reducer, and drive, users can enjoy the flexibility of grinding either wet or dry. The only changeover required involves changing the shaft/arm assembly, the bottom discharge and in some cases, the cover.
When operating as a wet grinding mill, the S-50 can handle applications from ceramics and carbides to inks and chocolate. In dry grinding mode, the SD-50 (the "D" designates dry grinding) can be used in applications from metal powders to mechanical alloying, pigments, glass frits and minerals. Because dry grinding requires more power, this mill has a larger motor.
Batch-type Attritors are ideal choices for fast, efficient grinding and repeatable results, the company says. They are manufactured for long-term, low-maintenance operation.
