Attritor

Attritor

Structure :An attritor typically consists of a cylindrical chamber filled with grinding media (usually steel balls or other hard materials) and the material to be processed. The chamber is usually equipped with a high-speed agitator or stirrer that rotates or oscillates, causing the grinding media to collide with the material.

Grinding Process :The high-speed agitation generates a high level of impact and shear forces, which efficiently breaks down the material into finer particles. This process is often referred to as "stirred media milling."

Continuous vs. Batch Operation :Attritors can be operated in either continuous or batch modes. In continuous operation, the material is fed into the mill continuously and discharged continuously. In batch operation, the material is added to the mill in batches, processed, and then removed.

Pigment Dispersion :Attritors help achieve fine dispersion of pigments in paints and coatings, improving color consistency and stability.

Food Processing:Attritors can be used in food processing applications where fine grinding of ingredients is necessary.
