The sabah calcium carbonate project malaysia from china
on the eastern coast of malaysia in the state of sabah on the island of borneo a new industrial project is harnessing the regions rich mineral deposits to serve a diverse range of industries. this is the sabah calcium carbonate project featuring a high-performance stone powder grinding mill designed to process local limestone of exceptional purity.
the project centers around a mtw series european trapezium mill with a rated capacity of 8 tons per hour. the raw limestone sourced from a nearby quarry with a calcium carbonate content exceeding 98 percent is fed into the mill and ground to a fine powder with a fineness of 74 microns which is equivalent to 200 mesh. this specific fineness is a versatile specification that serves multiple markets simultaneously.
Te primary application for this powder is as a filler in the production of high-quality animal feed. livestock farmers in sabah and the neighboring state of sarawak use this fine calcium carbonate powder as a vital calcium supplement for poultry and cattle ensuring strong bone development and improved eggshell quality in laying hens. the powder is also supplied to local latex glove manufacturers who use it as a release agent in the dipping process a growing industry in malaysia.
The project faced logistical challenges due to its location in a region with developing infrastructure. the solution was to design the grinding mill system with a compact footprint and an integrated drying system capable of handling limestone with up to 6 percent surface moisture.
the 8 tons per hour output from this stone powder grinding mill has significantly reduced the need for imported fillers supporting local industries and creating jobs in the sabah region. the success of this project has positioned sabah as a growing hub for industrial mineral processing in east malaysia.
