Union Process introduces custom SL5 wet grind attritor
Union Process, based in Akron, Ohio, US, has announced the development of a customised SL5 wet-grind attritor, providing efficient and high-precision metal powder milling. The SL5 attritor, designed for a customer who needed to process an alcohol-based silver slurry, reduces particle size and creates a unique particle morphology.
The new attritor is powered by a 10 HP, explosion-proof motor. The variable frequency drive is installed in a NEMA 12 enclosure and the LCD Operator Interface Module (OIM) is programmed to display agitator RPM, motor amperage, and motor HP.

The attritor is outfitted with a ten-gallon stainless-steel, jacketed grinding tank for temperature control. The stainless-steel agitator shaft is configured with 440C hardened stainless steel L-arms. The machine includes a mechanical tachometer, an explosion-proof operator station, and a one-piece cover with a special floating Teflon shaft seal to limit solvent vapour loss.
Since 1946, Union Process has been developing and building custom Attritors. As well as this technology, the company manufactures wet & dry grinding mills and horizontal bead mills and provides material characterisation services for a range of research & industrial applications.
