Clay is an important mineral raw material, by a combination of hydrated silicates, and a certain amount of aluminum oxide, alkali and alkaline earth metal oxide oxide compositions and contains quartz, feldspar, mica and sulphate, sulphide, carbonate salt and other impurities.
Application
- Clay-made ceramics: clay minerals industry has kaolin, bentonite (mainly composed of montmorillonite), and activated clay (composed of variable) and so on.
- Cement: cement mixed with limestone.
- In the industry, modeling, and art to do the model. Artists making clay models, but also applies directly to shape the clay works of art
- Processing and other chemicals in drinking water as an ion exchange process
- Kaolinite is the raw material for porcelain
- Kaolinite surface can also make special smooth paper and ink absorption
- Ceramic isolation layer in the construction industry as well as the use of soilless culture
- Sealed landfill
- In the paint industry and the pharmaceutical industry for fillings
- Used in catalytic converters
Clay grinding mill machine
Raymond mill is popular in some clay processing plant, which features of small space and strong integration capability. The final grain size of clay powder is between 0.613mm-0.044mm. The Raymond mill adopts electromagnetic vibrating feeder, which ensures even and regular feeding. The electricity system of the Raymond mill is centrally controlled, so no people are needed in the operating room.
Ball mill is also widely used as clay grinding mill. The Ball mill can grind the clay into powder down to 0.074~0.4 mm and Ball mill for clay is the most economical and practical clay Grinding mill with high crushing capacity. All the finished particles have a good uniformity of fineness, with passing screen rate as high as 98%. This is what other machines cannot reach.
SCM thin mill is a kind ultrafine grinding mill, the final powder size can be down to 325~2500 mesh, which is suitable for being used in paper making, paint making, cosmetics and so on. It is easy to adjust, small in dimension, light in weight, with lower oil and powder consumption and easy maintenance.
China clay processing plants
The China Clay (Kaolin) is grinded into fine powder by grinding machines. The common grinding mill is Raymond mill. The Raymond mill is the traditional grinding mill and popular around the world. It features small occupying space, good uniformity of fineness of final powder, electricity system without operator. Beside, Gulin have developed MTM trapezium mill and MTW trapezium mill as substitute of Raymond mill for grinding China Clay (Kaolin). It is lower consumption, lower investment, and more environment friendly, smaller occupation area than Raymond mill.
