CLIRIK HGM Ultrafine Grinding Mill Successfully Installed in Egypt for Limestone Powder Production

The demand for high-quality limestone powder has been rising steadily across global industries, especially in construction, coatings, plastics, paper, and chemical production.


Egypt, as one of the world’s leading limestone resource-rich countries, has attracted growing investment in modern mineral processing equipment. 


Recently, CLIRIK completed the installation and commissioning of an advanced HGM ultrafine grinding mill in Egypt. This project represents not only the technological advantages of CLIRIK’s ultrafine grinding solutions but also the increasing importance of efficient, sustainable, and precise powder processing in the Middle East region.


The newly installed HGM ultrafine mill is capable of producing limestone powder at 800 mesh fineness with an hourly output of around 3 tons. This successful installation highlights the reliability, efficiency, and adaptability of CLIRIK’s equipment in meeting local industrial requirements.

Background of the Project

Egypt has long been known for its abundant reserves of high-purity limestone. These resources are widely used for producing ground calcium carbonate (GCC), a versatile material applied in industries such as:


  • Plastics and Rubber: as fillers to improve strength and reduce costs.

  • Paints and Coatings: as pigment extenders to enhance smoothness and coverage.

  • Paper Industry: to improve whiteness, opacity, and printability.

  • Construction Materials: as a key ingredient in cement, concrete, and mortar.

  • Chemical Applications: as raw materials for calcium-based compounds.

However, traditional grinding equipment often faces limitations such as high energy consumption, low output stability, and challenges in achieving ultra-fine particle sizes. To address these issues, the Egyptian customer chose CLIRIK’s HGM ultrafine grinding mill after a thorough evaluation of performance, cost-effectiveness, and long-term operational benefits.


Equipment Overview: HGM Ultrafine Grinding Mill

The HGM series ultrafine grinding mill is a ring roller grinding mill independently developed and patented by CLIRIK. It is designed to produce powders ranging from 150 mesh to 3000 mesh, covering a wide variety of industrial applications.
