Scientific Research

Attritor Mill was developed as a result of studies – started in the early 2000s – on the mechano-chemistry of crystalline substances. The application of these studies to the waste industry is based on the practical use of machines capable of first crushing and then micronizing. This is particularly important in the case of municipal solid waste (MSW), but also in many types of industrial and agricultural waste. Micronization thus makes it possible to reach very advanced levels of refining, which have never been achieved with the usual techniques used in waste treatment plants, which normally use hammer and/or knife mills to cut coarse portions of waste. Attritor Mills are based on totally different and innovative principles:

IMPACT AND FRICTION COMBINED THROUGH THE USE OF GRINDING MASSES THAT ARE MOVED IN SUCH A WAY AS TO CREATE AN IMPACT COMPONENT COMBINED WITH A FRICTION COMPONENT.ATTRITOR MILL TREATMENT IS ALSO INDICATED IN THE HANDLING OF WET WASTE (UP TO 65%) AND VERY RICH ORGANIC FRACTION AND MIXED POLYMERS.
