Gypsum milling is a critical process in both cement production and plasterboard manufacturing, requiring precision equipment capable of delivering consistent particle size distribution while maintaining energy efficiency. Modern industrial demands call for milling systems that combine high throughput with low operational costs and minimal environmental impact.
| Technology | Energy Consumption (kWh/t) | Output Range (μm) | Typical Capacity (t/h) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ball Mill | 35-50 | 45-250 | 5-40 |
| Raymond Mill | 25-40 | 30-325 | 3-25 |
| SCM Ultrafine Mill | 18-28 | 5-45 | 0.5-25 |
The gypsum processing industry faces three primary technical challenges:
Our SCM Ultrafine Mill series represents the cutting edge in gypsum comminution technology, featuring:
| Application | Recommended Model | Target Fineness | Moisture Control |
|---|---|---|---|
| Plasterboard Core | SCM1000 | D97 ≤ 150μm | ≤0.5% after drying |
| Cement Retarder | SCM800 | D90 45-200μm | ≤1.0% |
| Medical Gypsum | SCM1250 | D100 ≤ 20μm | ≤0.2% |
A major Middle Eastern plasterboard manufacturer achieved 32% energy reduction after replacing their legacy ball mill system with our SCM1680 Ultrafine Mill, featuring:
| Parameter | Before Retrofit | After Retrofit | Improvement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Specific Energy | 42 kWh/t | 28.5 kWh/t | -32% |
| Throughput | 18 t/h | 22 t/h | +22% |
| Particle Consistency | ±15% variation | ±5% variation | 66% more stable |
Modern gypsum processing demands milling solutions that deliver precision, efficiency, and reliability. Our SCM Ultrafine Mill series, with its unique combination of German classifying technology and robust mechanical design, has proven capable of meeting these challenges across diverse applications from construction materials to medical-grade products.
For operations requiring coarser grinding in cement production, our MTW Series Trapezium Mill offers exceptional value with its patented curved duct design reducing airflow resistance by 15-20% compared to conventional mills. Both product lines feature our proprietary wear-resistant alloys extending maintenance intervals by 3-5x in typical gypsum service.
