• Enhance Particle Purity: Attrition machines remove impurities like clay, iron oxide, and surface coatings.
• Improve Process Efficiency: By cleaning particles, they optimise downstream processes such as flotation and separation.
• Reduce Costs: Cleaner particles reduce waste and improve the quality of final products.
• Increase Recovery Rates: For mineral processing, effective attrition leads to better recovery of valuable materials.

Our machines are built to deliver consistent, reliable results while reducing maintenance and operational costs.

1. Mineral Surface Cleaning

In mineral processing, surface impurities can affect the quality of the final product. Attrition machines help by:

• Scrubbing mineral surfaces to remove unwanted coatings.
• Improving particle purity for better downstream processing.
• Enhancing the efficiency of flotation and separation processes.

Example: In silica sand processing, our machines effectively remove iron stains and other impurities, ensuring high-quality output for glass manufacturing.

2. Clay Removal

Clay can reduce the performance of minerals in industrial applications. Attrition machines:

• Dislodge and remove clay particles from mineral surfaces.
• Improve the efficiency of washing and screening processes.
• Reduce the need for chemical additives.

Example: Bauxite processing plants use attrition machines to eliminate clay contamination, enhancing alumina recovery.

3. Iron Oxide Removal

Iron oxide can lower the value of many industrial minerals. Attrition machines:

• Remove iron oxide coatings from mineral surfaces.
• Improve product quality for applications like ceramics and glass.
• Reduce the need for costly chemical treatments.

Example: Kaolin processing plants rely on attrition machines to achieve bright white, high-purity kaolin for paper and paint applications.

4. Flotation Conditioning

Flotation processes depend on proper particle conditioning. Attrition machines:

• Prepare particles by removing surface impurities.
• Improve reagent adsorption for better separation efficiency.
• Increase recovery rates of valuable minerals.

Example: Copper and lead-zinc plants use attrition machines to condition particles before flotation, ensuring higher recovery rates.

Mining and Mineral Processing

Attrition machines clean and condition ores, making them suitable for further processing. Applications include:

• Scrubbing silica sand for glass manufacturing.
• Preparing ores for flotation to increase metal recovery.
• Removing impurities from industrial minerals.

Example: Flotation plants can increase recoveries by having the mineral surfaces cleaned to improve reagent performance and thereby flotation recovery.

Sand and Aggregates

Clean sand and aggregates are crucial for construction and manufacturing. Attrition machines:

• Remove impurities like clay, silt, and iron stains.
• Improve the quality of sand for use in concrete, asphalt, and glass.
• Enhance the value of aggregates for specialised applications.

Example: Construction sand suppliers use our machines to produce high-purity sand for premium-grade concrete.

Ceramics and Glass

Ceramics and glass require pure raw materials. Attrition machines:

• Remove contaminants from silica sand, feldspar, and kaolin.
• Ensure uniform particle size and surface quality.
• Reduce the need for chemical refining steps.

Example: Glass manufacturers rely on our machines to produce flawless, high-transparency glass.

Water Treatment

In water treatment, attrition machines support filtration processes. They:

• Clean filter media like sand and gravel.
• Extend the life of filtration systems by maintaining media quality.
• Ensure compliance with water quality standards.

Example: Municipal water treatment plants use attrition machines to clean sand filters, maintaining efficient water purification.
