This pilot line is designed to simulate industrial production processes, providing a reliable platform for experimentation and optimization in mineral and material processing. Through multi-stage process simulations—including crushing, screening, grinding, batching, granulation, drying, calcination, and cooling—it accurately replicates real-world production conditions, facilitating product development, process improvement, and parameter optimization.
✔ Core Process Stages
1. Crushing & Screening
- Jaw crushing, hammer crushing, or impact crushing reduces raw materials (e.g., dolomite, limestone, bauxite) to target particle sizes.
- Vibrating screens or air classifiers ensure precise particle size distribution for downstream processes.
2. Grinding & Batching
- Ball milling or vertical milling further refines materials (e.g., kaolin, zinc oxide) to meet high-precision fineness requirements.
- Dynamic batching systems enable accurate mixing of multi-component materials (e.g., cement clinker, LECA).
3. Granulation & Drying
- Disc granulation or extrusion granulation transforms powders into high-strength granules (suitable for LECA, ceramic bodies, etc.).
- Rotary drying removes moisture, enhancing material stability.
4. Calcination & Cooling
- Rotary kiln calcination (e.g., magnesite for refractory products, limestone for active lime).
- Rotary cooling systems tailor product properties (e.g., pore structure in LECA, mineral phases in clinker).
✔ Typical Processed Materials
- Non-metallic Minerals: Dolomite, limestone, kaolin, magnesite
- Metallurgical Raw Materials: Bauxite, zinc oxide
- Construction Materials: Cement clinker, lightweight expanded clay aggregate (LECA)
