The saudi application - industrial minerals powder grinding mill from china
in the harsh environment of the northern borders region of saudi arabia another stone powder grinding mill is contributing to a different kind of industry. this mill a robust pendular type processes local basalt rock at a rate of 15 tons per hour. the rock is ground to a relatively coarse specification of 250 microns. this specific material is used as a high-performance additive in drilling fluids for the oil and gas industry and as a mineral aggregate for specialized flooring.
basalt is a dark volcanic rock known for its high density and chemical resistance. the grinding mill uses centrifugal force to press heavy rollers against a stationary grinding ring crushing the basalt into a fine powder. the 250 micron output is coarse enough to act as a weighting agent in drilling muds helping to control pressure in oil wells while being fine enough not to damage the drilling equipment.
for the flooring industry this basalt powder when mixed with epoxy resins creates an incredibly durable hard-wearing industrial floor capable of withstanding heavy traffic and chemical spills. the 15 tons per hour capacity ensures a steady supply to both the national oil company saudi aramco and to construction firms building high-durability facilities across the kingdom. this mill demonstrates the versatility of stone powder in meeting both the energy and construction needs of the nation.
