As a material with high hardness and high abrasiveness, the processing difficulty of feldspar has always attracted much attention. Especially in Brazil, an important global ceramic production base, the processing efficiency and quality of feldspar are directly related to the quality and production cost of ceramic products.
Project Overview
Against the backdrop of the rapid development of Brazil's ceramic industry, client enterprises are faced with an urgent need to upgrade their raw material processing equipment. In the past, clients had been using milling equipment from European and American brands. However, with equipment aging and changes in raw material characteristics, traditional equipment has gradually revealed shortcomings in wear resistance, production capacity, and energy consumption. The accelerated equipment wear, difficulty in increasing production capacity, and high energy consumption have seriously constrained clients' production efficiency and cost control.
Material: Feldspar
Fineness: 200 mesh
Application: Ceramic industry
Main Equipment: LM Vertical Roller Grinding Mill
After conducting in depth inspections and comparing mills from multiple brands, the client ultimately chose Shanghai Zenith, with whom they had maintained communication for ten years. As a leading enterprise in China's powder grinding equipment field, Shanghai Zenith has been deeply engaged in the powder preparation sector for nearly forty years, continuously optimizing equipment performance and quality through technological innovation and product upgrades. Especially in the research of grinding technologies for high hardness materials like feldspar, Shanghai Zenith has demonstrated strong R & D capabilities and rich practical experience.
It was based on Shanghai Zenith strong comprehensive strength, profound understanding of grinding technology for high-hardness feldspar materials, and long-term good cooperative relationship that the client developed deep trust in Shanghai Zenith and finally decided to introduce Shanghai Zenith LM Vertical Roller Grinding Mill into the feldspar grinding project.
Shanghai Zenith dispatched experienced engineers to Brazil multiple times to conduct on-site inspections and comprehensive evaluations of the existing production lines and workshops, including equipment conditions, production capacity, energy consumption, and other aspects.
Project Difficulties
High silicon content in raw materials leads to rapid wear of traditional equipment, low production capacity, and high energy consumption;
Complex layout for renovation of existing workshops;
Requirement for ultra-low dust emissions
Based on the evaluation results, Shanghai Zenith formulated a detailed renovation plan, including production line optimization, equipment renewal, layout adjustment, etc.
Customized Wear-Resistant Design to Solve Raw Material Challenges
Aiming at the problems of poor grindability and high abrasiveness of raw materials, Shanghai Zenith recommends the LM Vertical Roller Grinding Mill manufactured with wear-resistant materials. Its unique working principle and advanced structural design can effectively handle the processing of high-hardness feldspar. Additionally, special wear-resistant treatments are applied to easily worn parts of the system, which prolongs service life, improves production capacity, and reduces energy consumption, creating greater economic benefits for clients.
Optimized Layout Design to Adapt to Complex Workshops
To address the challenges of renovating existing workshops and complex layouts, Zenith technical team considered aspects such as production line optimization, workshop layout adjustment, environmental protection and safety, and cost control. Through multiple optimizations of the design plan and the formulation of a detailed renovation schedule implemented in phases, the team finally resolved the issue of site constraints.
Environmental Dust Collection Technology to Achieve Ultra-Low Emissions
To achieve ultra-low dust emissions, Shanghai Zenith equipped the client with an oversized dust collector and adopted high-density, high-wear-resistant filter bags, creating a cleaner and more environmentally friendly production environment for the client.
After the project was put into production, Shanghai Zenith LM Vertical Roller Grinding Mill demonstrated strong performance. For high hardness feldspar, the equipment's production capacity was significantly improved, energy consumption was reduced, and it operated stably and reliably, fully meeting the client's production needs. The client expressed great satisfaction with the operation effect of Zenith equipment and the quality of services, and plans to gradually replace existing old European and American equipment in the future to further expand the production scale.
In today's thriving global industry, competition in the grinding equipment sector has become increasingly fierce. Shanghai Zenith actively implements a global strategy, and with its profound heritage, strong capabilities, and comprehensive service system, it has expanded from China to the world, becoming a trusted partner for numerous overseas clients.
