Limestone powder plays a pivotal role in modern agriculture by neutralizing acidic soils and improving nutrient availability. The efficacy of soil conditioning depends heavily on the fineness and uniformity of the limestone powder, which is directly influenced by the grinding technology employed. This article explores advanced grinding solutions that deliver optimal particle size distribution for agricultural applications.
| Parameter | Ideal Range | Impact on Soil |
|---|---|---|
| Particle Size (D90) | 45-250μm | Determines dissolution rate |
| Calcium Carbonate Content | ≥85% | Neutralization capacity |
| Moisture Content | ≤1% | Prevents caking |
Modern grinding systems must achieve precise particle control while maintaining energy efficiency. Three technological approaches dominate the market:
