Attrition Milling Services – Precision Grinding for Polymers & Fibrous Materials

Hosokawa Custom Processing Services provides specialized attrition milling services ideal for heat-sensitive, fibrous, and soft materials that do not respond effectively to conventional impact milling. Our high-speed attrition milling systems are optimized for fine-size reduction without the need for liquid nitrogen or conditioned air, delivering reliable results for challenging materials like polymers and plastics.

Key Features of Attrition Milling

The Hosokawa attrition milling system utilizes a high-speed shearing process for efficient particle size reduction:

  • Heat-Sensitive Material Grinding: Perfect for materials sensitive to high temperatures.
  • Precision Control: Adjustable stator and shearing plates regulate particle size.
  • Fine Grinding Capabilities: Achieves fine grinding to D90 = 100 µm or finer.

In the milling process, material enters through the central inlet, where it undergoes size reduction between a stationary stator and a high-speed rotating shearing plate. The particle fineness is carefully controlled by adjusting the rotor speed, plate gap, and number of teeth on the plates.
