Project Background
The New Zealand mineral market is seeing an increasing demand for specialized, high-purity functional powders. Our client, a tech-driven enterprise based in Auckland, aimed to establish a demonstration production line to upgrade raw perlite and quartz sand into high-value micro-powders (800-1250 mesh).
The primary objective was to replace inefficient laboratory equipment with a stable, industrial-grade system capable of handling highly abrasive, high-silica materials. Key project requirements included compliance with Oceania electrical standards, a customized layout for a restricted 6-meter ceiling height, and the ability to operate reliably under an off-grid generator power supply.

Main Equipment & Functions (The Processing Flow)
Feeding and Conveying (Material Preparation):
The raw material is crushed to particles smaller than 20 mm and lifted by the bucket elevator to the storage hopper. A frequency-controlled vibrating feeder ensures a continuous and uniform material flow into the grinding chamber, preventing mechanical overload.
HGM Main Unit (Multi-Layer Grinding System):
The core of the production line, featuring a unique 4-layer grinding design. Utilizing centrifugal force, the rollers crush, roll, and shear the material against the rings. This multi-stage grinding logic delivers significantly higher fineness and throughput compared to traditional impact mills.
High-Efficiency Classifier (Precision Screening):
Integrated at the top of the main unit, this variable-frequency classifier uses centrifugal airflow to separate particles. It allows for the precise adjustment of the D97 cut-off point between 325 and 3000 mesh, ensuring that only the qualified ultra-fine powder proceeds to the collection stage.
Pulse Dust Collector (Environmental Protection):
This high-efficiency tank-type collector utilizes premium filter bags to capture 100% of the finished powder directly from the airflow. Operating under negative pressure, it ensures zero dust leakage and a 99.9% recovery rate, making it ideal for ultra-fine applications where total product recovery is critical.
High-Pressure Blower (Airflow Circulation):
The “lungs” of the system, providing the necessary negative pressure and high-velocity airflow to lift and transport the powder. Equipped with a professional silencer, it ensures a stable pneumatic environment for the entire closed-loop grinding circuit.
PLC Intelligent Control System (Centralized Operation):
The “brain” of the plant, allowing engineers to monitor vibration, motor frequency, temperature, and system pressure in real-time. This automated interface ensures high batch-to-batch consistency and protects the equipment through intelligent fault-diagnostics and emergency shutdowns.

Market Insight:The Oceania High-Value Mineral Shift
The Strategic Pivot:
From volume to value the New Zealand mineral sector is undergoing a significant transition from raw material exports to localized, “Value-Added” processing. By producing ultra-fine functional fillers domestically, local enterprises can eliminate high logistics costs and reduce reliance on expensive imported materials, creating a more resilient and profitable supply chain for the domestic high-end construction and polymer industries.
The Industrial Gap:
Overcoming operational barriers despite the high demand for premium powders in coatings and functional materials, traditional grinding methods often fail in the New Zealand market. Producers face a double challenge: high electricity tariffs and stringent environmental zoning. These factors limit the viability of energy-intensive or high-emission equipment, especially for tech-innovation firms operating near urban centers like Auckland.
CLIRIK’s Role:
Precision meets sustainability, our HGM technology bridges this gap by offering a high-efficiency, zero-emission solution. Engineered to deliver a steep particle size distribution (PSD) and superior purity, the HGM80A allows New Zealand firms to produce world-class powders at a competitive operational cost. Even under rigorous environmental and energy constraints, our system ensures that localized mineral innovation remains both technologically advanced and economically sustainable.
