At Unit Process Group, we design and supply cutting-edge attrition machines to meet modern processing needs. Our machines feature optimised impeller designs, ensuring your plant operates efficiently. Unlike many other attrition machines still relying on outdated 1970s designs, we utilise the latest in mixing technology to deliver superior performance.
Below, we explore why attrition machines are vital, their typical applications, and how our advanced features make them the best choice for your operations.
Main Features
Attrition machines are essential for industries that require particle cleaning, refining, and conditioning. These machines use mechanical agitation to:
Attrition machines remove impurities like clay, iron oxide, and surface coatings.
Cleaning particles optimise downstream processes such as flotation and separation.
Cleaner particles reduce waste significantly and improve the quality of final products.
For mineral processing, effective attrition leads to better recovery of valuable materials.
Attrition machines are versatile and used across many industries. Below are the key applications:
In mineral processing, surface impurities can affect the quality of the final product. Attrition machines help by:
Example: In mineral sand processing, our machines effectively remove iron stains and other impurities, ensuring high-quality output for glass manufacturing.
Clay can reduce the performance of minerals in industrial applications. UPG’s machines can:
Example: Silica processing plants use our machines to remove clay contamination, enhancing the quality of the final product.
Iron oxide can lower the value of many industrial minerals. Applications and benefits include:
Example: Garnet processing plants rely on our attrition machines to remove oxide contamination in the most efficient manner.
The Vector® has been proven to provide more efficient mixing which significantly reduces the flocculant consumption and maximizes the settling properties of the floccules. The floccules are then discharged with a controlled velocity through each Vector® port to reduce over shearing.
The void spacing between the Vector® ports allows water to be released during the discharge process and provides a pathway for the unhindered migration of the water towards the surface.
We have seen a significant reduction in froth after installing Vector® feed systems. The design considers deaeration in the process, but also allows for the collection and destruction of froth within the HydroForce feed dilution system.
Our machines incorporate advanced features that set them apart from the competition:
