[Gypsum Powder Meshes Corresponding Different applications]

CLIRIK's grinders can precisely control the fineness of gypsum powder to ensure that the final product meets the specific requirements of different industrial application.

CLIRIK's HGM Series ultrafine powder grinding mill is specially designed for gypsum processing, with the following technical parameters:


Concept About Gypsum Powder Grinder

The basic concept of an specialized Gypsum Powder Grinder aim to be used in the industrial. 

There will be several basic figure you need to understand at first:

Gypsum grinding mills process your raw materials into powder to reach the target mesh.

 Considering diverse applications, the powder outcomes has been divided into different levels, including coarse powder(thicker than 300meshes), ultra fine powder(300-2000 meshes).


  • Power Parameter

The consumption of energy consumption straightly effect the output scale.

Increasing power parameter not only increase electricity expenses, but also enhance the hourly output.

To achieve  proper power parameter of your powder grinding lines mush be determined.

[the overall power parameter of different models of HGM grinders]

The chart correspond to the core component of the complete powder grinding production line: the main unit, ranging from 75 Kw to 315 Kw per hour.

Different models of powder grinders can achieve higher output.


  • Feed Size

Feed size is another critical parameters to select a gypsum powder grinder. 

Typically, if your final output ranging from 150-2500(corresponding to a μm range from 5-100), your feed particles ought to be ≤20mm, which means may require a pre-grinding before into the core grinding mills.

Instructions: If your raw material fed into the grinder are too large to grind into your target meshes, this operation will both reduce the output capacities and accelerate consumption of wear parts.


  • Finished Size

Finished size equivalent to your final output size. Due to the characteristic of powder, the finished size will come up with a range from your target size to finer or sticker size, which represents a typical spread of practical production results.

As is listed above, the peak of the outcome powder stand the best interval of your grinder mills. 

According to this data, you can operate your grinding mills’ type or model to reach satisfying fine powder with flex.


  • Capacity Parameters

The core data indicator is capacity parameters, which determines the final powder outcomes.

 It mostly depend on the type or model of grinding machine. On the one hand, the larger capacity, the greater electricity consumption. 

On the other hand, the stability of the grinder mill related to  product quality.

As is listed above, your grinding mill footprint ranging from 15.1*4.2*7.3 to 31.7*7.7*12.6(L*W*H, m) ought to be an appropriate option according to predict output. 

In case of your practical space constrain, you may recommended to have your practical design customized or may opt to replace only the core parts.

Each complete powder production line core parts contain more than 8 ironed components, including:

a main unit( the core part to grind materials), a classifier, a blower, a crusher, a bucket elevator, a feeder, one or two discharging valve and an air compressor.

These technical parameters ensure that CLIRIK's gypsum powder grinding line can meet the production requirements for different scales of enterprises.


Profitability Analysis of Gypsum Powder Grinder


It has significant profitability, mainly reflected in the following aspects:

  • Price: Raw Materials vs. Finished Products

Making a simple calculation: the market price of the raw gypsum is usually: $877.01 per ton.

While in 50-pound packages is $21.90, equals to $965.352 per ton, which made an profitable increasing of 10% in profit per ton.

Indeed, solution grade gypsum powder are mostly being used in agricultural field as a type of  plant nutrients which helps prevent soil compaction in clay-heavy soils.

Those gypsum powder comes out with only 200 meshes.

Gypsum powder with a higher mesh count, however, can bring higher profit returns.

Another case is the ultrafine powder for coatings beyond 2000 meshes price can reach $15,630-881,600 per ton*.

Among those high-grades mesh products, you could even choose the characteristic of the ultrafine powder to meet specific needs.

With those specialties, you may exceed 168% increasing from your raw gypsum powder.

[increasing trend of a raw material to ultrafine powder finished output]

In summary: the price of gypsum powder increases significantly with the increase of fineness. The profitability of ultrafine gypsum powder (above 2000 mesh) can reach more than 10 times that of raw gypsum.


  • Cost-Benefit Analysis

Taking the HGM-125L model gypsum grinding machine as an example, the daily production capacity is 12 tons, and the production cost is about 250 USD/ton (including raw materials, electricity, labor, and maintenance costs etc.). 

If producing 1000-mesh gypsum powder, the daily profit can reach:

(3,200 - 877 - 250) * 12 = 24,876 USD

The annual profit (calculated based on 300 working days) can reach 7,462,800 USD, which has significant economic benefits.


Problems & Solutions Gypsum Grinding


  • Uneven Particle Size

Problem: The particle size of the final gypsum powder is uneven, which affects the product output capacity.
Solution: Adjust the speed of the analyzer, according to the practical working environment.

CLIRIK HGM series gypsum grinding mills equip with an advanced grading system, which can effectively control the particle size of the product to be more even.


  • Low Production Efficiency

Problem: The output capacity is lower than the design standard.
Solution: Check the wear of the grinding roller and grinding ring, and replace them in time.

At the same time, operate your feeding amount and speed to ensure the stability of your output capacity .


  • High Energy Consumption

Problem: The energy consumption is outpost the norm, indirectly increasing the production cost.
Solution: Customizing energy-saving equipment.

CLIRIK's grinding equipment adopts advanced energy-saving technology, which can reduce energy consumption by 30%-40% compared with traditional equipment under the same circumstance.


  • Other Difficulties in processing

Problems: 

  1. the moisture content of the raw material should be forbidden more than 3%;

  2. the using rate of your consumption parts;

  3. those pre-grinding powder will be more easy to be crumple up then eventually effect negatively the the final output production.

Solutions: choose a professional machine supplier will dreadfully help you solve and avoid those difficulties.
