AttriTec

Efficient Pollutant Removal for Cleaner Sand

AttriTec attrition cells are the ideal solution for removing pollutants from the surface of sand particles in contaminated slurries. Using scrubbing action generated by internal agitators, these industrial machines effectively dislodge contaminants, delivering cleaner sand for various industrial applications. Designed for optimal performance, the machine typically operates with two or more cells, allowing precise control over contact times to achieve superior cleaning results. Commonly used before the hydrocyclone process and ensures improved overall efficiency in downstream separation.

How AttriTec Works

AttriTec attrition cells generate friction between sand particles through internal paddles that rotate within a tank. As slurry flows through, the turbulent environment causes particles to rub against each other, dislodging contaminants efficiently. This design allows for exceptional cleaning without the need for complex mechanisms, making AttriTec both simple and reliable. The cells can be adjusted for varying contact times to meet specific cleaning requirements.
