Complete Kaolin Powder Production Line: Equipment and Process Overview
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).

Complete Kaolin Powder Production Line: Equipment and Process Overview
Kaolin, a versatile industrial mineral, requires specialized processing to achieve the desired fineness for applications in ceramics, paints, cosmetics, and more. A complete kaolin powder production line integrates crushing, grinding, classification, and packaging systems. This article explores the key equipment and processes involved, with a focus on high-efficiency grinding solutions.
1. Kaolin Processing Stages
The typical kaolin production line consists of:
- Crushing: Jaw crushers reduce raw kaolin to ≤20mm particles
- Drying: Rotary dryers remove moisture (if above 10%)
- Grinding: Specialized mills achieve 325-2500 mesh fineness
- Classification: Air separators ensure precise particle size distribution
- Packaging: Automated bagging systems for finished powder
2. Core Equipment: Ultrafine Grinding Mills
The grinding stage determines final product quality. For kaolin processing, we recommend our MW Ultrafine Grinding Mill – an advanced solution featuring:
- Capacity: 0.5-25 tph (adjustable based on fineness)
- Fineness: 325-2500 meshes (d97≤5μm achievable)
- Energy Savings: 40% higher efficiency vs conventional mills
- Eco-Friendly: Pulse dust collector reduces emissions to ≤20mg/m³
“The MW series’ German-derived cage-type powder selector revolutionized our kaolin processing,” noted one ceramics manufacturer. “We achieved 98% particles under 10μm while cutting energy costs by 35%.”
3. Alternative Solution: LUM Vertical Mill
For operations requiring compact footprint, our LUM Ultrafine Vertical Grinding Mill offers:
- 5-18 tph capacity with 0-10mm feed size
- Taiwanese roller technology + German separation system
- 30-50% lower energy consumption vs ball mills
- Reversible structure simplifies maintenance
4. Process Optimization Tips
- Pre-dry kaolin if moisture exceeds 8% to prevent mill clogging
- Implement multi-stage classification for premium-grade products
- Use ceramic-lined equipment to minimize iron contamination
- Monitor grinding pressure (typically 8-12MPa for kaolin)
5. Why Choose Our Solutions?
