MTW European Trapezium Mill: Empowers the Grinding and Deep Processing of Bentonite

Bentonite, also known as bentonite clay, is widely hailed as the "universal clay" for its exceptional physical and chemical properties such as outstanding adsorption, swelling capacity, and cation exchange capacity. From industrial production to daily life, and from agricultural cultivation to environmental governance, finely processed bentonite can always play a pivotal role in diverse forms. The efficient conversion of bentonite from raw ore into high-quality powder cannot be achieved without the support of advanced grinding equipment. Zenith MTW European Trapezium Mill has become the preferred equipment in the field of bentonite deep processing by virtue of its core advantages including intelligent environmental-friendliness, energy-saving high efficiency, and superior finished products, providing strong impetus for unlocking the full industrial chain application value of bentonite.

"Universal Clay" Bentonite: A Core Material Penetrating Multiple Fields

The application value of bentonite is closely related to its processing precision. Bentonite powders of varying fineness are suited to different application scenarios, and their market demand keeps rising with the development of various industries.

Construction Materials Industry

Bentonite serves as a high-quality binder, thickener and stabilizer. When ground into 200–325 mesh powder and added to products such as cement, gypsum and coatings, it can significantly enhance the bonding strength, crack resistance and water resistance of these products. It is widely used in the production of interior wall coatings, waterproof membranes, ceramic blanks and more.

Foundry Industry

High-purity bentonite powder with a fineness of over 325 mesh acts as an ideal molding sand binder. It can effectively improve the collapsibility of sand molds and the surface finish of castings, and reduce the rejection rate of cast products. It is suitable for precision casting processes such as those for auto parts and mechanical components.

Environmental Protection Field

Leveraging its superior adsorption properties, bentonite ground into 100–200 mesh powder can be applied to sewage treatment, waste gas purification and soil remediation.

In addition, bentonite plays an irreplaceable role in industries such as agriculture, feed production and pharmaceuticals. In agriculture, it can be used as a soil amendment and fertilizer slow-release agent to improve crop yield and quality. In the feed industry, specially processed bentonite powder can serve as a feed additive to help livestock and poultry regulate intestinal flora and improve feed conversion rate. In the pharmaceutical field, high-purity bentonite can be used as a drug carrier and raw material for antidiarrheal medicines, and has gained wide recognition for its safety and non-toxicity.

MTW European Trapezium Mill: The High-efficiency Enabler for Bentonite Grinding and Deep Processing

The versatile applications of bentonite impose stringent requirements on the fineness, purity and uniformity of its powder. Traditional grinding equipment suffers from drawbacks such as high energy consumption, unstable finished product particle size and severe pollution, making it difficult to meet the large-scale, high-quality demands of modern bentonite deep processing. As a high-efficiency device specially designed for the deep processing of non-metallic minerals, MTW European Trapezium Mill precisely matches the processing requirements of bentonite, and has become the core equipment for industry upgrading.

First, superior finished product quality that meets diverse application needs

MTW European Trapezium Mill is equipped with a multi-stage classification and screening system, enabling precise control over the processed fineness of bentonite powder. The finished product fineness ranges from 0.045 to 1.6 mm (equivalent to 80–325 mesh and above), which can be flexibly adjusted to meet the requirements of different application scenarios. Its grinding process adopts a closed design, effectively preventing impurity contamination and yielding finished products with high purity and uniform particle size. Whether it is the high-purity powder for precision casting or the adsorptive powder for sewage treatment, the mill can perfectly meet the quality standards.

Second, energy-efficient and high-performance operation that enables large-scale production

Equipped with an advanced variable-frequency speed-regulating motor and an optimized grinding chamber structure, the mill boosts grinding efficiency by over 30% compared with traditional grinding equipment, with a production capacity of 3–55 tons per hour. It can easily satisfy the demands of large-scale bentonite processing projects. Meanwhile, its adoption of low-pressure suspension roller grinding technology significantly reduces equipment energy consumption—the unit product energy consumption is 20%–30% lower than that of traditional equipment, which remarkably improves the production efficiency of enterprises.

Intelligent operation and environmental friendliness represent another core advantage of the MTW European Trapezium Mill.

The mill is equipped with an intelligent control system that enables remote operation, automatic start-stop functionality and fault early warning. This reduces manual intervention and enhances the stability and safety of the production process. In terms of environmental performance, the mill integrates a high-efficiency pulse dust collector and noise reduction devices. The dust emission concentration is far below the national emission standards, and noise levels are controlled below 85 decibels. It thus achieves green and eco-friendly production of bentonite processing, aligning with the industrial development requirements under the current "dual carbon" initiative.

In addition, MTW European Trapezium Mill also features convenient operation and maintenance as well as a long service life.

Its wearing parts are made of high wear-resistant materials, ensuring low wear rates and extended replacement cycles. With a compact structure, small floor space requirement and easy installation and commissioning, the mill significantly lowers enterprises' operation and maintenance costs as well as site investment expenses.

Collaborative Development: Opening a New Chapter for the High-quality Development of the Bentonite Industry

As the demand for high-quality bentonite products continues to grow across various industries, Zenith MTW European Trapezium Mill will continue to leverage its technological advantages to provide more efficient, eco-friendly and intelligent solutions for bentonite deep processing. In the future, the collaborative development of the two parties will further drive the bentonite industry towards refinement, high-endization and greenization, unlocking new application possibilities in more fields.
