CLIRIK offers a comprehensive range of bentonite stone crushing and grinding systems. Our technology is designed to optimize your production efficiency, significantly reduce specific energy consumption, and meet the most stringent manufacturing requirements for various bentonite-based products.

Material Introduction
Bentonite is a clay mineral primarily composed of montmorillonite, a smectite group mineral formed through the chemical weathering of volcanic ash. Its most defining characteristic is its ability to absorb several times its dry mass in water, leading to significant volume expansion and the formation of a gel-like substance with high thixotropic and bonding properties.
Chemically, bentonite is categorized into sodium and calcium types based on its dominant exchangeable cation, which determines its specific swelling capacity. In its processed form, bentonite exhibits exceptional ion-exchange capacity and chemical stability. Its unique particle morphology and high active surface area make it a superior lubricant and sealing agent. These inherent qualities allow it to function as a high-performance binder and absorbent across a wide range of specialized industrial and environmental applications.

Ground Calcium Carbonate (GCC)
Ground Calcium Carbonate (GCC) is produced by the mechanical pulverization of natural minerals like limestone or marble. Since it involves no chemical transformation, it retains the mineral’s original stability but features an irregular, fragmented structure.

Key Properties: High density, low oil absorption, and excellent flowability.

Industrial Value: Used as a “functional filler” in plastics, rubber, and coatings. It increases volume and hardness while allowing high loading levels to significantly reduce production costs.

Precipitated Calcium Carbonate (PCC)
Precipitated Calcium Carbonate (PCC), or light calcium carbonate, is a synthetic compound produced through a chemical carbonation process. By calcining limestone and reacting it with CO₂, manufacturers can precisely control the particle morphology to create specific shapes like spindles, spheres, or needles.

Key Properties: Ultra-high whiteness, narrow particle size distribution, and high sedimentation volume.

Industrial Value: Its microporous structure and large specific surface area make it ideal for high-end paper, specialized paints, and pharmaceuticals requiring reinforcement and superior brightness.
