High-Efficiency Dolomite Milling Machine for Refractory Material Production

High-Efficiency Dolomite Milling Machine for Refractory Material Production

Introduction

In the refractory materials industry, dolomite milling plays a critical role in producing high-quality fire-resistant products. The demand for ultrafine dolomite powder with precise particle size distribution has driven the development of advanced milling technologies. This article explores the technical requirements and solutions for efficient dolomite processing, with a focus on specialized grinding equipment.

Material Characteristics

Dolomite (CaMg(CO3)2) presents unique challenges in size reduction due to its:

  • Mohs hardness of 3.5-4
  • Thermal decomposition above 800°C
  • Tendency to form agglomerates during fine grinding
Technical Requirements
Parameter Refractory Grade Standard Grade
Particle Size (D97) 5-45μm 45-150μm
SiO2 Content <1.5% <3%
Bulk Density 0.8-1.2 g/cm³ 1.2-1.6 g/cm³
