Increase product quality with a WEMCO^® attrition scrubber

Attrition scrubbing removes surface contamination, impurities, and pollutants from feed materials, balancing power and control to clean particles without degrading the product.

Attrition scrubbers benefit mining operations by cost-effectively enhancing and improving product quality. 

WEMCO attrition scrubbers work with percent solids of 65% up to 75% or even 80%, depending on the application. 

The ability to effectively scrub particles to the desired conditions depends largely on how they remain in the attrition scrubbers. This retention time is a function of the cell’s active volume and feed rate. We offer a range of models with active volumes from 1.7m³ (60ft³) to 5.7m 3 (200ft³), allowing us to design circuits with the right size and quantity of attrition cells to deliver the required retention time to achieve the required cleaning. Installed power is critical when planning the electrical layout and determining the return on investment. Finally, whether it’s a new construction or retrofit, the overall size and footprint of an attrition cell are important factors in circuit design and cost.
