  – Plasticity: Strong

  – Sand Content: Less than 50%

Sandy Quality

  – Hardness: Soft

  – Plasticity: Moderate

  – Sand Content: Greater than or equal to 50%

Application

Ceramics Industry

Key ingredient for various types of ceramics

Enhances aesthetics and durability of ceramic products

Paper-making Industry

Used as filler and coating

Improves paper smoothness, brightness, and quality

Reduces production costs

Rubber Industry

Serves as a filler and reinforcing agent

Strengthens rubber products

Increases wear resistance and product lifespan

Enamel Industry

High whiteness, fine particle size, and good suspension properties

Used in enamel coatings for aesthetic and durable surfaces

Refractory Materials Industry

Used in the production of refractory materials

Maintains stability at high temperatures

Environmental and Chemical Industries

Production of polyaluminum and water treatment

Manufacture of chemical agents like alum and aluminum chloride

All applications of kaolin must be processed into a fine powder before it can be added to other materials to achieve full fusion.

processing method

Grinding Process

Crushing

The kaolinite is sent to the jaw crusher and broken to a fineness that can enter the mill (15mm-30mm).

Grinding

The small pieces of broken kaolin are sent to the storage hopper by the elevator, and then evenly and quantitatively fed into the mill by the feeder for grinding.

Classification

The ground material is graded by the classifier, and the unqualified part is returned to the host machine for re-grinding.

Collection

The powder that meets the fineness is collected by the air flow through the pipe into the powder collection system, and the finished powder is sent to the finished product warehouse.
