CLIRIK offers a comprehensive range of expanded perlite 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 perlite-based products.

Expanded perlite is an amorphous volcanic glass that has been heated to its softening point, causing the internal combined water to vaporize and expand the material up to 20 times its original volume. This “popcorn” effect creates a unique micro-structure composed of countless tiny, sealed or interconnected glass-walled bubbles.

Physically, expanded perlite is exceptionally lightweight, with a bulk density as low as 30–150 kg/m^3. It features a Mohs hardness of 5.5–7 in its original state, but the expanded form is brittle and easily crushed into fine powders. Chemically, it is highly inert, sterile, and non-toxic, consisting primarily of silica (SiO₂) and alumina ( Al₂O₃). Its most defining industrial traits are its extremely low thermal conductivity and its ability to act as a high-efficiency physical filter. Once processed, perlite powder provides a vast surface area for absorption and creates a tortuous path for fluid filtration, making it an ideal choice for cryogenic insulation and high-purity liquid clarification.

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), 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.
