Kaolin Clay Screening & Conveying Solution
Kaolin clay, both crude and processed, requires precise screening to remove oversize impurities and control particle size distribution for paper coating, ceramics, and paint applications. Our systems ensure efficient, dust-free processing of this fine, sometimes sticky material.
Recommended Equipment
- High-Frequency Vibrating Screen for dewatering and classifying washed kaolin slurry.
- Ultrasonic Fine Mesh Screen for precise grading of calcined or dried kaolin powder down to 325 mesh.
- Flexible Screw Conveyor or Pneumatic System for gentle, enclosed transfer of dry kaolin.
Key Benefits
- Efficient removal of grit and oversize impurities to improve product brightness and quality.
- Closed system prevents contamination and dust emission of valuable material.
- Handles both dry powder and slurry phases effectively.
Talc Powder Screening & Handling Solution
Talc powder, known for its softness and plate-like structure, requires gentle yet effective screening to achieve the required fineness (from 200 mesh to 1250 mesh) for plastics, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals, while maintaining its lamellar particle shape.
Recommended Equipment
- Air Jet Sieve or Ultrasonic Sieving System for high-precision classification of ultra-fine talc.
- Dust-Tight Vibrating Screen with anti-blinding devices for efficient throughput of micronized talc.
- Vacuum Powder Conveyor for clean, contained transfer from mills or silos to packaging.
Key Benefits
- Preserves talc’s softness and structure through gentle screening action.
- Excellent de-agglomeration capability for consistent particle size distribution.
- Complete dust containment protects operators and ensures product purity.
Mica Flake & Powder Processing Solution
Mica, processed into wet-ground flakes or dry-ground powder, requires specialized screening to separate by flake size (for pearlescent pigments, insulation) or to remove oversize particles from powder (for paints, plastics). Its flaky nature presents unique challenges.
Recommended Equipment
- Gyratory Sifter or Rotary Sieve for gentle sizing of delicate mica flakes without breakage.
- Slurry Screen for wet-processed mica to separate different flake grades before drying.
- Vibratory Feeder with screening deck for scalp removal of oversize from dry mica powder.
Key Benefits
- Gentle, rolling motion preserves the aspect ratio and integrity of mica flakes.
- Effective separation by flake size, critical for high-value pearlescent pigment markets.
- Minimizes particle attrition, maintaining product performance in final applications.
Abrasive Grain Sizing & Classification Solution
Manufactured and natural abrasives (like Aluminum Oxide, Silicon Carbide, Garnet, Pumice) require extremely accurate and rugged screening to produce tight particle size distributions for grinding wheels, sandpaper, blasting media, and polishing compounds.
Recommended Equipment
- Heavy-Duty Linear Motion Screens with abrasion-resistant polyurethane decks for grading coarse grits (4-120 mesh).
- High-Precision Sieving Machines (e.g., Sonic Sifter) for classifying fine and microgrits (F230 and finer).
- Robust Vibratory Feeders with grizzly sections for scalping oversize before crushing.
Key Benefits
- Unmatched sizing accuracy ensures abrasive products meet stringent FEPA or ANSI standards.
- Extremely durable construction withstands the punishing wear of hard, sharp grains.
- High throughput systems designed for continuous, demanding production environments.
