The HGM80 ultrafine grinding mill is a specialized piece of equipment designed for producing ultrafine calcium carbonate powder, widely used in industries such as plastics, rubber, paints, coatings, papermaking, and pharmaceuticals. Below is a detailed overview of its key features, working principle, technical parameters, application in calcium carbonate plants, and considerations for selection:

1. Key Features of HGM80 Ultrafine Grinding Mill

● High Fineness Control: Capable of producing calcium carbonate powder with a fineness range of 325–2500 mesh (45–5 microns), meeting the strict particle size requirements of various downstream industries.
●  Efficient Grinding: Equipped with a multi-layer grinding ring and roller structure, it achieves high grinding efficiency with low energy consumption compared to traditional ball mills.
●  Integrated Design: Combines grinding, classifying, and collecting functions in one system, reducing the need for additional auxiliary equipment and saving space.
●  Dust-Free Operation: Equipped with a high-efficiency dust collector (e.g., pulse bag filter) to minimize dust emissions, complying with environmental protection standards.
● Easy Maintenance: The grinding rollers and rings are made of high-wear-resistant materials (e.g., high-chromium alloy), extending service life. Quick-wear parts are easy to replace, reducing downtime.
●  Stable Performance: Adopts advanced frequency conversion control for the classifier, ensuring precise particle size distribution and consistent product quality.


2. Working Principle

The HGM80 ultrafine grinding mill operates through the following steps:

●  Feeding: Calcium carbonate raw materials (e.g., limestone, marble) are crushed to a suitable particle size (typically ≤30mm) by a jaw crusher or hammer crusher, then fed into the mill via a vibrating feeder.
●  Grinding: Inside the mill, the grinding rollers rotate and press against the grinding ring, grinding the material into fine particles through extrusion and shearing.
●  Classification: A high-speed classifier (rotary impeller) separates the ground particles. Particles that meet the target fineness are carried by airflow to the cyclone collector; coarser particles are returned to the grinding chamber for re-grinding.
●  Collection: The qualified powder is collected by the cyclone collector, while residual dust is captured by the dust collector to ensure clean emissions.

4. Application in Calcium Carbonate Powder Plants

In a calcium carbonate powder production line, the HGM80 mill plays a core role in the grinding stage. A typical plant configuration includes:
●  Pre-processing Equipment: Jaw crusher (for coarse crushing) → impact crusher/hammer mill (for fine crushing) → vibrating screen (to control particle size before grinding).
●  HGM80 Grinding Mill: The primary grinding unit, converting crushed calcium carbonate into ultrafine powder.
●  Auxiliary Systems:
●  Air compressor and blower: Provide airflow for material transportation and classification.
●  Cyclone collector: Collects the finished powder (efficiency ~95%).
●  Pulse dust collector: Captures residual dust to meet environmental standards (emission ≤30mg/m³).
●  Control system: PLC-based automation for adjusting fineness, feeding rate, and monitoring equipment status.


5. Advantages for Calcium Carbonate Production

●  Fineness Flexibility: Easily adjustable from 325 mesh (for paper coating) to 2500 mesh (for high-end plastics or cosmetics).
●  Cost-Effectiveness: Lower energy consumption (≈30–50kWh/ton for 1250 mesh powder) compared to ball mills, reducing operational costs.
●  Consistent Quality: The classifier ensures narrow particle size distribution (e.g., D97 ≤10μm), critical for applications like paint viscosity control.
●  Scalability: Can be integrated into multi-mill systems for larger production capacities (e.g., combining 2–3 HGM80 mills to achieve 5–10 tons/hour).

6. Considerations When Selecting

●  Raw Material Hardness: Suitable for soft to medium-hard materials (calcium carbonate Mohs hardness 3, ideal for HGM80; avoid hard rocks like granite).
●  Production Scale: Match the mill’s capacity (0.5–3.5 t/h) to the plant’s target output. For larger demands, consider HGM100 or HGM125 models.
●  Local Environmental Regulations: Ensure the dust collector meets emission standards (e.g., EU CE, US EPA, or local certifications in regions like Southeast Asia or Africa).
●  After-Sales Service: Choose manufacturers with a strong service network for timely maintenance and spare parts supply (e.g., Baichy, Liming Heavy Industry, or SBM).


In summary, the HGM80 ultrafine grinding mill is a reliable choice for medium-scale calcium carbonate powder plants, balancing efficiency, fineness control, and environmental performance.
