1. MTW Series Trapezium Mill (30-325 mesh)

Designed for medium-fine grinding of bauxite, the MTW Series features:

  • Anti-wear shovel blades with 30% longer service life
  • Curved air duct design reducing energy loss by 15%
  • Integrated bevel gear transmission (98% efficiency)
Model Capacity (t/h) Power (kW) Feed Size
MTW175G 9.5-25 160 ≤40mm
MTW215G 15-45 280 ≤50mm
2. LM Vertical Roller Mill (30-600 mesh)

For large-scale bauxite processing, we recommend our LM220K model featuring:

  • 50% smaller footprint than ball mill systems
  • 30-40% lower energy consumption
  • Smart control system with remote monitoring

3. SCM Ultrafine Mill (325-2500 mesh)

Our flagship SCM Ultrafine Mill excels in final-stage bauxite refinement:

  • Precision classification with ≤5μm D97 output
  • 30% energy saving vs jet mills
  • Pulse dust collection (99.9% efficiency)
Model Capacity (t/h) Fineness Noise Level
SCM1000 1.0-8.5 325-2500 mesh ≤75dB
SCM1680 5.0-25 325-2500 mesh ≤75dB
4. Hammer Crusher (0-3mm)

Primary crushing solution with high reduction ratio:

  • 40mm max feed size
  • Manganese steel hammers (HRC58-62)
  • Compact structure for easy installation
5. Ball Mill (0.074-0.8mm)

Traditional solution with modern upgrades:

  • 300:1 crushing ratio
  • Wet/dry operation flexibility
  • Up to 450t/h capacity
