Attrition scrubbers are used to scour particulate surfaces, removing undesired materials and breaking down clays – cleaning and desliming the particles prior to other treatment processes.
It is the friction between the particles, created by turbulence and supplied by the machine’s impulsion, that provides the highly efficient cleaning action.
The action does not reduce the sound particles in size, as there is no grinding of the material. The only degradation that takes place is that of soft particles, such as clays, or cemented materials.
Applications for attrition scrubbers Flotation – cleaning particle surfaces prior to flotation to increase selectivity.
Glass sand – removing iron oxide coating on silica sand by attrition and flotation to produce a low-iron glass sand.
Industrial sand – Scrubbing blasting sand and fracturing sand to disperse contaminating soft particles and other impurities, which are then removed by desliming.
This process helps your sand product meet API standards by creating a high purity, more crush resistant silica sand that will meet your customers’ specifications.
Ores and other minerals (e.g. phosphate) – freeing impurities so they can be removed with the help of a spiral classifier or hydrocyclone.
Dissolving solids – using the attrition machine to dissolve solids, reducing contact time by continuously exposing fresh surfaces to the solvent.
