Reliable raymond grinding mill for limestone

Home / News

Published: October 26, 2023

For industries requiring consistent and efficient fine grinding of limestone, selecting a reliable and technologically advanced Raymond mill is paramount. Liming Heavy Industry, with over three decades of engineering excellence, offers robust Raymond grinding solutions specifically engineered for the demanding processing of limestone and other non-metallic minerals. Our mills combine proven grinding principles with modern innovations to deliver high productivity, precise particle size control, and operational stability, making them a cornerstone for applications ranging from construction materials to power plant desulfurization.

Liming Heavy Industry's commitment to research and development is deeply embedded in our grinding technology. Our Raymond Mill is designed for processing non-flammable and non-explosive materials with Mohs hardness under 7 and humidity less than 6%, making limestone an ideal feedstock. The mill achieves a fineness range between 613μm and 44μm, allowing for flexible adjustment to meet diverse customer specifications for powdered limestone, whether for cement additives, soil conditioners, or industrial fillers.

The operational reliability of our Raymond mill stems from its mature and simplified system design. The core grinding process involves materials being ground between the grinding rollers and the ring. The ground powder is then carried by the air flow to the classifier. Oversized particles are separated and returned for regrinding, while qualified fine powder passes through with the air flow to be collected by the cyclone collector or bag filter. This closed-circuit system not only ensures product uniformity but also minimizes dust emission, aligning with modern environmental standards.

While our classic Raymond mill remains a workhorse, our technological evolution is best exemplified by the MTW European Type Grinding Mill. This advanced system represents a significant upgrade over traditional Raymond and pendulum mill designs. It incorporates patented technologies that enhance stability, boost productivity, and improve energy efficiency. For large-scale limestone powder production projects, such as those supplying heavy calcium carbonate for plastics or paints, the MTW series offers superior capacity, ranging from 3 to 55 tons per hour, and handles input sizes up to 50mm.

The system integration of the MTW mill line underscores our holistic approach to grinding solutions. The complete system includes the mill, jaw crusher for primary size reduction, vibrating feeder, screw conveyor, pulse dust collector, electrical control cabinet, and more. This integrated design ensures smooth material flow from coarse crushing to fine powder collection. The intelligent electrical control system allows for centralized operation and monitoring, simplifying process control and reducing labor intensity for operators.

Beyond the Raymond and MTW series, Liming Heavy Industry's portfolio includes specialized mills for ultra-fine applications. The MW Micro Powder Mill, for instance, absorbs advanced grinding technology to produce limestone powder as fine as 5μm (d97). This capability is crucial for high-value-added industries where surface area and particle size distribution are critical parameters. Whether the requirement is for coarse agricultural lime or ultra-fine coating-grade calcium carbonate, our range of grinding equipment provides a scalable and reliable path from raw limestone to market-ready powder.

Our manufacturing prowess, anchored in our 80,000 m² and 67,000 m² facilities in Zhengzhou's HI-TECH Industry Development Zone and Shangjie Industry Park, ensures every mill is built to last. We adhere to a philosophy of precision manufacturing and continuous innovation, which has established us as a leader in both domestic and international machinery markets. Choosing a Liming Raymond grinding mill for limestone is not just a purchase of equipment; it is an investment in a partnership backed by enduring engineering quality, comprehensive after-sales support, and a vision geared towards the technological frontier of size reduction.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

  1. What is the typical fineness range achievable for limestone with your Raymond Mill?
    Our standard Raymond Mill can produce limestone powder with a fineness adjustable between 613μm (~30 mesh) and 44μm (~325 mesh).
  2. Can your mills handle moist limestone feedstock?
    The Raymond Mill is designed for materials with humidity less than 6%. For higher moisture content, we recommend our LM Vertical Roller Mill, which integrates a drying function.
  3. What makes the MTW European Type Mill an upgrade over a traditional Raymond mill?
    The MTW mill features a curved shovel blade for better feeding, a more efficient internal cyclone separator, and an overall optimized airflow path, leading to higher capacity, lower energy consumption per ton, and more stable operation.
  4. Is the grinding system environmentally friendly?
    Yes. All our grinding lines are equipped with high-efficiency pulse jet bag dust collectors, ensuring dust emissions meet stringent national and international environmental protection standards.
  5. Do you provide just the mill or the complete production line?
    We can supply the standalone grinding mill or provide a complete, turnkey system including crushers, feeders, elevators, electrical controls, and dust collection, tailored to your specific project layout and capacity requirements.
