Calcium Carbonate and Barite powder processing

Hello, we have two mines in Pataginia (Argentina)

We extract and mill Calcium Carbonate and Barite for petroleum industry.

I wish to improve my production, actually we have two balls mill, one small and the other one medium I guess is about 35 tons.

I want to know what are the best type of mills to produce powder mesh 200 and 325 petroleum grade. I dont know is best balls mills, raymond, trapezium, high preassure or what.

I notice barite is a crystal and mills 100% faster than calcium carbonate, also calcium carbonate keeps humidty that affects the milling process dramatically as I can see.

I want to add new equipment and I am confused because here there are few plants and all of them uses old balls mills remanufactured from cement industry so may be balls mills is not the correct tool to do the job.

Every supplier I talked here or in china told me different recomendations so looks the just try to sell me what they have instead of what is best for my milling requirements.

I appreciate any comment.

Hi Jujumax,

You did not provide enough information, but judging on what you did provide:

Stay with the ball mills, but buy a classifier/s to classify the 200/325 mesh product in a circuit with the ball mills.

It is the most cost effective way to get you there.

Dear Jujumax,

We manufacture size reduction equipment to pulverize and classify these materials to a narrow particle size specification. Our Air-Swept Classifier Mill is considered by many size reduction specialists as the most energy-efficient “single-stage” size reduction system available - providing high product output at the narrowest narrow particle size distribution using the least amount of energy (in Kg/Hp-Hr).

We provide technical consultation in size reduction and particle size distribution control, preliminary engineering proposal, laboratory testing for scale-up and a final engineered proposal to meet your product and rate specifications.

We will process your sample at no cost and you may observe this testing at our lab in Toronto, Canada. Please visit our website at www.cms-can.com.

Dear Sir,

We have send some info to your private message box.

For cement Table Roller Mills or some types of Pendulum Roller Mills are very good and used in most cases. Ball mills are used also.

Our PRMills are not designed for grinding cement, but for many other products (CaCO3, TiO2, Bentonite, Talk, MgSO4, Petcokes, etc...)

For CaCO3 and Barite it is much better to use a Pendulum Roller Mill, not to have all disadvantages of a ball mill.

NEUMAN & ESSER GmbH is a specialist in grinding of these minerals world wide.

We are manufacturing German Pendulum Roller Mills with High Efficiency Radial Classifiers with high performance and top cut (even ultrafine up to d50=1250 mesh depending of the product).

Many patented items are used in this technology.

The process is very easy to adjust between 200 and 325 mesh without rework of product.

Our systems have very low operational costs compared to other mill types.

We are also specialised in optimising existing Pendulum Grinding systems.
