Setting up an efficient gypsum production line requires careful planning, the right equipment, and optimized processes to ensure high-quality output for construction, agriculture, and industrial applications. This guide covers the key steps, machinery, and considerations for a successful gypsum processing plant.
A complete gypsum production line typically includes:
Crushing → Grinding → Drying → Calcination (if needed) → Packaging
The process transforms raw gypsum ore into fine powder for plaster, drywall, cement retarders, and other applications.
Source high-purity natural gypsum rock or synthetic gypsum (FGD gypsum from power plants).
Test moisture content and composition for optimal processing.
Primary Crushing (Jaw Crusher/Hammer Crusher) – Reduces large rocks to ~50-100mm.
Secondary Crushing (Impact Crusher/Cone Crusher) – Further crushes gypsum to ≤30mm for grinding.
Choose the right mill based on fineness requirements:
Raymond Mill – Produces 80-325 mesh powder (ideal for construction).
Ball Mill – Suitable for high-capacity grinding.
Vertical Roller Mill (VRM) – Energy-efficient with integrated drying.
Rotary Dryer – Reduces moisture before grinding.
Flash Dryer – Fast drying for fine powder.
Calciner (Rotary Kiln/Boiling Furnace) – For producing stucco (calcined gypsum) at 150-180°C.
Automated packing machines for 25kg/50kg bags or bulk loading.
Moisture-proof storage for finished gypsum powder.
Stage | Equipment | Function |
Crushing | Jaw Crusher, Hammer Crusher | Reduce raw gypsum size |
Grinding | Raymond Mill, Ball Mill, VRM | Turn gypsum into fine powder |
Drying | Rotary Dryer, Flash Dryer | Remove moisture |
Calcination | Rotary Kiln, Boiling Furnace | Produce calcined gypsum |
Dust Control | Bag Filter, Cyclone Collector | Ensure eco-friendly operation |
Packaging | Automatic Packing Machine | Bagging for distribution |
