Union Process, Inc., known globally as a manufacturer of particle size reduction and dispersing equipment, as well as a supplier of grinding media and materials characterization services for a broad range of research and industrial applications, has manufactured an S5 Batch Attritor for cutting-edge battery technology.

The customized Attritor has a special high purity Zirconium Oxide (YTZP-stabilized) grinding tank that is jacketed for cooling. The mill is driven by a 7.5 HP motor that is Totally Enclosed, Fan-Cooled (TEFC) and explosion-proof. A variable frequency (inverter) drive is utilized and is installed in a NEMA enclosure.

The agitator shaft is plastic-coated stainless steel and uses reinforced ZrO2-sleeved agitator arms.

An LCD keypad displays motor frequency (Hz) as well as agitator RPM, and motor HP when being used.
