Affordable Limestone Grinding Mill for High-Quality Construction Material Production

Affordable Limestone Grinding Mill for High-Quality Construction Material Production

Introduction to Limestone Grinding Technology

In modern construction material production, limestone grinding mills play a pivotal role in transforming raw limestone into high-quality powders for cement, concrete additives, and other building applications. The efficiency and precision of grinding equipment directly impact product quality and operational costs.

Key Requirements for Construction-Grade Limestone Powder
Parameter Standard Range Premium Grade
Particle Size (D97) 45-325 mesh 325-2500 mesh
Moisture Content <1.5% <0.8%
Whiteness ≥85% ≥92%
Challenges in Traditional Grinding Systems

Conventional ball mills often struggle with energy inefficiency (typically consuming 40-50 kWh/ton) and inconsistent particle distribution. Our advanced grinding solutions address these issues through innovative engineering.

SCM Ultrafine Mill: Precision Grinding Solution

For projects requiring ultra-fine limestone powder (325-2500 mesh), our SCM Ultrafine Mill delivers unmatched performance:

  • Energy Efficiency: 30% lower power consumption compared to conventional mills
  • Precision Classification: Vertical turbine classifier ensures 99.9% of output meets target fineness
  • Durability: Tungsten carbide grinding rollers last 3-5 times longer than standard components
SCM Series Technical Specifications
Model Capacity (t/h) Power (kW) Fineness (mesh)
SCM800 0.5-4.5 75 325-2500
SCM1000 1.0-8.5 132 325-2500
SCM1680 5.0-25 315 325-2500
Case Study: Cement Additive Production

A construction materials plant in Vietnam achieved 22% cost reduction by replacing their Raymond mill with our SCM1000 model, increasing production from 5.8 to 7.2 t/h while improving product uniformity.
