Limestone milling Equipment

Milling machines are used to reduce the size of material by cutting, crushing, or grinding it. The choice of industrial milling equipment depends on the industry and the materials to work with. Besides, there is a significant difference between those aimed to remove layers from metal or other materials workpieces and those designed to reduce particle size for materials that come in bulk.

Extremely small grinding beads (&lt; 0.2 mm) can be employed with this mill, and investigations regarding the stabilization of suspensions in the submicron range can be executed.

Horizontal Agitated Media Mill

Agitated media mills are media mills that employ an agitated (or stirred) grinding media action for grinding of the ultrafine particles. In this case, a ceramic grinding media grinds mineral, metal, or chemical powder. The most typical application is the manufacture of GCC slurries used for the production of paper, but also ultrafine limestone slurries, such as calcium carbonate, limestone, and marble.


<h2>Cost-efficient grinding of highly concentrated limestone slurries</h2>
The agitated media mill ANR from Hosokawa Alpine is designed for the cost-efficient ultrafine grinding of highly concentrated limestone slurries. The operating mode and the design permit the production of extremely high qualities with regard to fineness, degree of whiteness, and abrasiveness.

The mill design ensures low-maintenance continuous system operation with no expensive downtime periods. The flow pattern goes from bottom to top, whereby the feed material is ground to the required end fineness with the aid of ceramic grinding beads (zirconium silicate or zirconium oxide).

Efficient cooling of the mill stator removes the heat generated during grinding.

The agitator elements and the grinding chamber wall are made of wear-resistant hardened materials.

Quality of gypsum and stucco products are highly influenced by the quality of the calcining process employed in production. Consistent grinding, purification, and drying of raw mineral inputs prior to their being entrained in the hot gas flow of the calcining equipment ensures efficient calcining and a resultant high-quality final product.


<h2>Grinding, purifying, drying, and calcining from a single piece of equipment</h2>
Claudius Peters’ EM Mill is a calcining system for gypsum and stucco with an integrated grinding mill. The mill uses free moving steel balls rather than stationary rollers which ensures uniform fine grinding while avoiding the need for any bearings inside the mill. The grinding system employed requires very little maintenance and has been known to achieve a service life of over 40,000 hours. At the base of the grinding system, a scraper acts on the ball track conveying foreign material out of the mill into the reject box.

The efficiency of the grinding system allows low material time inside the mill enhancing the controllability of the process and ensuring uniform product quality. After sufficient grinding material is entrained in a calcining gas flow of unusually high temperature which yields lower gas volumes and optimal energy consumption. The constant randomized motion of the ball grinding system ensures even and constant distribution of raw gypsum for exposure to the calcining flow.

Mill for calcining gypsum

Waste products and rejected materials are inevitably generated from any gypsum products manufacturing process. This efficiency can be greatly reduced however, with the use of a specialized crusher designed for recycling them back into the production process.


<h2>A recycling crusher specifically designed for the gypsum processing industry</h2>
Claudius Peters’ Reclaim Crusher is a milling machine specifically designed for processing wet and dry waste products from the gypsum processing industry into materials that can be blended with raw gypsum and re-introduced into the primary production process. The unit consists of a heavy duty housing and two independently rotating screws. The slow rotation action of the screws breaks the materials into pieces ideally suited for further processing into gypsum products. Each screw’s rotation is reversible and is controlled by a shaft mounted gearbox and variable frequency drive motor.

When you need to produce ultra-fine powders, the milling and drying process employed is what ensures the consistency of your product. To process minerals and chemicals, you need a machine which is powerful, flexible, simple to maintain.


<h2>Versatile and highly efficient milling and drying</h2>
Atritor’s cell mill has been constructed to produce ultra-fine powders. It is able to grind, flash dry, classify and surface coat powders at the same time. Its capacity ranges from 50 kilograms per hour to 15 tonnes per hour, with evaporation rates up to 3,000 kilograms per hour.

The feed can be dosed directly into the machine via a screw feeder or via the inlet air duct. It is then ground in a vertically mounted, multi-stage rotating rotor. Each of the rotor sections is constructed with up to 200 quick-change blades. There is also the possibility for a classifier which is mounted at the discharge section to ensure that oversized feed particles are either discarded or recirculated.

The mill acts as an efficient dryer when the process air is heated using a hot air generator or even waste heat from another process. It can reach an inlet temperature of up to 450ºC. Heat energy from the process can be recovered from the heated air stream and utilized to preheat the intake air. After flash drying, the product is kept cool due to evaporative cooling via the constant exposure of new surface areas of the product created during attrition.

In the case of minerals that require surface treatment, the cell mill provides a range of coatings and surface modifiers that can be added on the side of the machine during the milling process. It has a wide range of applications, from minerals like GCC, clay and limestone to chemicals, dyes, pigments and a wide range of food ingredients and by-products.

Milling and drying machine for fine powders

Drying and grinding can be an important feature when trying to process products such as raw and refined minerals, organic and inorganic chemicals, food ingredients and waste streams. It is crucial to maintain particle size and consistent quality of the finished product during such processes. You will need an efficient and abrasion resistant attrition solution to pulverise and dry your product into your required particle size.


<h2>A simplified process while drying and grinding ensuring high product quality</h2>
Atritor’s Dryer-Pulveriser is able to grind and dry the product simultaneously. It is an air-swept mill that uses an air stream to efficiently process the product and controls the final particle size. It is able to process feedstocks of up to 50+mm and production capacities from 100kg/h up to 30t/h with evaporation rates up to 6,000 kilograms per hour.

The mill acts as an efficient dryer when the process air is heated using a hot air generator or waste heat from another process. It can reach an inlet temperature of up to 550ºC. Heat energy from the process can be recovered from the heated air stream. After flash drying, the product is kept cool due to evaporative cooling. The output temperature of the product is maintained accordingly to control the moisture content of the product.

The Flash drying grinder for powders is configured with a combination of variable speed rotor, hammer arrangement and fixed pins. Turbulence inside the grinding area creates attrition to reduce the particle size, which can be controlled for simple deagglomeration of the product. An internal classifier configuration can also be used to further control particle size.

The ‘A’-series is constructed with internals that are resistant to abrasion for applications that can cause high amounts of wearing to the equipment. Where the desired amount of evaporation required far exceeds the grinding duty, the ‘B’-series machine of a lighter weight, fully fabricated configuration permitting higher airflows can be used for non-wearing product or duties, as well as for for applications in which stainless steel contact parts may be necessary.
