5 Micron Calcite Grinding Mill: Germany Technology for Ultra-Fine Powder Production

We provide a wide range of mills — including Raymond mill, trapezoidal mill, vertical mill, ultrafine mill, and ball mill, obtained ISO9001 international quality certification, EU CE certification, and Customs Union CU-TR certification. Suitable for processing minerals such as limestone, phosphate, quicklime, kaolin, talc, barite, bentonite, calcium carbonate, dolomite, coal, gypsum, clay, carbon black, slag, cement raw materials, cement clinker, and more.

The discharge range of these mills can be adjusted to meet specific processing needs, typically from 80-400 mesh, 600-3250 mesh, and can achieve the finest particle size of up to 6000 mesh(D50).

Unlocking the Potential of Ultra-Fine Calcite Powder

In today’s demanding industrial landscape, the production of ultra-fine powders, particularly down to 5 microns, is no longer a luxury but a necessity for sectors ranging from plastics and paints to advanced composites and pharmaceuticals. Calcite, a naturally occurring calcium carbonate, is a key mineral in these applications, but transforming it into a consistent, high-purity powder of this fineness requires precision engineering and advanced technology. This is where German-designed grinding technology makes a monumental difference, offering unparalleled control, efficiency, and reliability.

The Challenge of Ultra-Fine Grinding

Traditional grinding mills often struggle with the heat generation and energy consumption associated with achieving such fine particle sizes. They can cause chemical degradation of the material, introduce impurities from wear parts, or simply be incapable of reaching the desired d97 ≤ 5μm specification consistently. The goal is not just to crush the material but to do so in a way that preserves its chemical properties, ensures a narrow particle size distribution, and does so in an economically and environmentally sustainable way.

A Solution Engineered for Excellence

Drawing on decades of milling expertise and incorporating core German technologies in precision powder separation, our MW Ultrafine Grinding Mill is specifically engineered to meet this challenge head-on. This isn’t just another grinder; it’s a comprehensive system designed for customers who need to make genuine ultra-fine powder.

  • Input Size: 0-20 mm
  • Capacity: 0.5-25 tph
  • Adjustable Fineness: 325-2500 meshes (d97 ≤ 5μm achievable)

The heart of the system is its German-origin cage-type powder selector. This technology is a game-changer, dramatically increasing the precision of powder separation. Unlike simpler systems, the multi-head cage-type selector can be meticulously configured to your exact requirements for yield, fineness, and sieving rate, giving you absolute control over the final product’s characteristics.

Key Advantages for Superior Performance

The benefits of the MW Mill extend far beyond its ability to hit a fine particle size. Its design philosophy prioritizes longevity, cleanliness, and operational ease.

Higher Yielding, Lower Energy Consumption: Thanks to newly optimized grinding curves of the roller and ring, the MW Mill’s efficiency is drastically improved. In head-to-head comparisons, its production capacity is 40% higher than jet mills or stirred mills, and double that of a ball mill, all while consuming 30% less energy. This translates directly to a lower cost per ton and a reduced carbon footprint.

Unmatched Reliability: A critical design innovation is the absence of rolling bearings and screws inside the grinding chamber. This eliminates the most common failure points in traditional mills—bearing seizures and loose screws causing catastrophic damage. Lubrication is performed externally without shutdown, enabling continuous 24/7 production runs that maximize uptime and profitability.

Eco-Friendly Operation: The entire milling system is a closed-loop process equipped with an efficient pulse dust collector, ensuring no dust pollution escapes. Combined with an integrated silencer and noise elimination room, the MW Mill operates well within national environmental protection standards, safeguarding both your workers and the community.

Ideal Applications

The MW Ultrafine Grinding Mill excels with a wide range of materials, including calcite, limestone, dolomite, talc, and barite. Its ability to produce contamination-free powder makes it perfect for sensitive applications in chemicals, paints, cosmetics, medicine, and food additives, where product purity is non-negotiable.
