CLIRIK offers a comprehensive range of chalk 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 chalk-based products.

Material Introduction
Chalk is a high-purity variety of calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) composed primarily of the skeletal remains of coccolithophores. It is characterized by its extreme softness (Mohs hardness of 1–2) and high natural porosity, which allows it to be pulverized into ultra-fine particles with minimal effort.
In its natural state, chalk is exceptionally white and chemically stable. Its biological origin grants it a unique micro-structure that results in a high surface area and low abrasiveness. Once processed, chalk powder exhibits superior brightness and excellent dispersion properties. These inherent characteristics make it a preferred source for products requiring high chemical consistency and a bright, matte finish without the need for extensive chemical bleaching.

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.

Applications :
Used as a high-purity base for Cosmetic Powders, specialized pharmaceutical excipients, and high-end ceramics.
Advantages :
At this ultra-fine level, chalk provides an exceptionally smooth and silky texture. In cosmetics, it offers excellent oil absorption and skin adhesion; in ceramics, it contributes to a dense, uniform structure after firing.
4
3000 Mesh + (D97: ≤4μm): Specialty Rubber & Polymer Fillers
Applications :
Specialized functional filler for high-precision rubber components, specialized plastic films, and decorative inks.
Advantages :
Ensures maximum dispersion within polymer matrices, resulting in improved mechanical strength and surface finish. It allows for the production of high-end additives where particle consistency is paramount.

Core Processing Advantages

Optimizing Particle Distribution with CLIRIK Technology:
When processing chalk stone, CLIRIK’s grinding systems utilize specialized shear and compression forces to achieve superior results. We focus on reducing energy consumption while ensuring a uniform particle size distribution (PSD), which is vital for high-end filler applications.

Customized Powder Engineering:
We provide tailor-made solutions matching international standards for whiteness and fineness across the paint, plastic, and paper industries.

Whiteness & Purity Protection:
For continuous high-pressure grinding, our core components feature top-tier wear-resistant coatings to prevent iron contamination, ensuring the final CaCO₃ product maintains its premium brightness.

Intelligent Particle Control:
Our modular mill design and intelligent control systems strictly monitor D97 levels, ensuring high batch-to-batch consistency.

24/7 Rapid Response Maintenance:
We minimize unplanned downtime through our responsive global after-sales network and spare parts supply, providing technical support to keep your production lines running at peak performance.
