Attrition Scrubber

• The best retention time control in the industry.

The Lightnin Attrition Scrubber has a completely baffled, separate attritioning zone. Our competitors have square or octagonal, unbaffled tanks, producing a high degree of swirl, a deep vortex and plug flow. This reduces the effective scrubbing and increases wear.

• Minimal Wear.

Our machines have proven themselves to have very little wear, due to the mechanical design-imparting particle on particle contact not particle on machine abrasion.

• Anglo Platinum Standard.

After evaluating the available Attrition Scrubbers the largest producer of Platinum in the world only goes to Lightnin, on sole tender, for these machines.

• Due to the machines' characteristics, Attrition Scrubbing will now add value in the following processes to our customers.

• Most efficient lime slaking system available.
• Reduced reagent consumption and increased recovery in Phosphate.
• Increased Platinum recovery.
• (How many other minerals, not tested yet, can we improve the recovery of?)
• Cleaning of glass sands.
• Removal of contaminants from heavy mineral sands, (Titanium, Zircon, Rutyle, etc).

• We can, in certain instances, increase plant capacity, by treating the fines through the scrubber, instead of a mill and pass them directly into the process stream.
• We can test your mineral worldwide to ascertain your benefits.
