The Attritor has been designed with a two-piece cover with brush seal for dust control and bespoke cover connections, which allow the mill to easily interface with the customer's dry material conveying system. The SD-50 Attritor features a 304 SS grinding tank which is jacketed for cooling to aid in temperature control during the dry milling process. The mill is powered by an explosion-proof 50 HP high-starting torque motor. The system includes a dual meter station that displays RPM and amperage all mounted on the Attritor in a NEMA 7/9 enclosure.

The Attritor is also mounted on a custom designed frame riser, which allows the processed material to be discharged into containers for final packaging.
